I'm only two episodes in and the art style and action scenes are amazing and the protagonist is definitely a trans man out for revenge against his white womanizing colonizer father.

    I agree to some extent, but she's intentionally posing as a man because she needs to be one to pursue her quest. I don't think Mizu is a trans man for the same reasons I don't think Mulan is a trans man.

    Also, she definitely removes her chest bindings to bathe.

      The big difference between Mizu and Mulan is that Mulan is very clear that her identity is as a woman, she is playing a masculine role and concealing her womanhood. Mizu on the other hand never does any if this, and infact seems incredibly uncomfortable when required to conform or deal with femaleness; often reacting violently to people trying to gender him as female. Like I don't want to spoiler stuff here but the midway flashback arc is basically a trans coming out story in miniature.
