• main character: rinko
  — trans woman

• guest character: akemi [ep.3]
  — unclear, possibly a trans woman

NOTE: i've said possibly a trans woman because she's referred to with she/her pronouns & is feminine presenting but she compares herself with the goldfish & says "it's not clear whether it's male or female.  Just like me."

• support character: murai mamoru/cosme
  — trans woman
  
  

NOTE: it's not fully clear at first whether or not cosme is trans or if she's a gay man until episode 7 because it's definitely implied at first that she's questioning/exploring her sexuality more so when she joins the co-ed class, and the classmates speculate whether or not she's gay. In episode 7 and 8 cosme comes out as transgender and talks about her gender identity as well as the gender dysphoria she has faced over the years and how the co-ed class helped her realise what her gender dysphoria actually was.

• supporting character: bai chang chang
  — agender

NOTE: idk if i should include this rep because it's kinda not really rep but also is at the same time because chang chang says "immortal beings have no gender" when asked what their gender is so go with that what you will

• supporting* character: fern
  — trans woman
  [ story 4: wife | episodes 15-20 ]

NOTE: fern is played by a trans actress. * personally i think fern is a main character as she is very prominate character in the story and she's even included on the poster for story 4 but MDL has listed her as a supporting character so that's why i have written her as such. 

TRIGGER WARNING: fern gets publically outed without her knowledge in episode 20 which may be triggering for some viewers.
