The official trans feels off in terms of pronouns

Usually I do think the officials are correct, but here? Idk man, unless there's a novel that confirms it or the author confirmed it w the translators, Celette seems more of a she/her than he/him to me. Like no matter how pretty lot of the male characters in this look like, they really seem more like a woman than a man to me w the art style. Herebine I still get, I do think it's a he, but with Celette,,, yeah.

I know Korean doesn't have gendered pronouns but my question to the translators, did y'all forget that "they" is 100% valid gender-neutral pronoun in English? like if you or the character is unsure, I'd much rather see them use they/them than automatically assume gendered pronouns, that would feel a lot more natural to English as well imo. Like when Shane saw Celette for the first time recently, makes more sense for him to use "they" in his thoughts, esp since he didn't seem to remember them.

Yeah fair the characters also have voices we can't hear due to this being a visual media, it could be their voices give it away... I still can't hide my disappointment. I genuinely find it baffling how few female characters we have in this story, esp granted it's tagged BL who's main audience demographic is female. Sure, the main group doesn't necessarily need them esp since it's BL (then agqin, p clear the main pair is Shane/Mel (forgot his name), so Fazan's (?) gender doesn't really matter, I'm just saying).

Like I enjoy this a lot, esp catching up from 20 something to recent chapters, but ahhhh it just really bugs me to see the lack of prominent female characters so far. Would love to know if that improves in the future.
