Sorry for a kind of low-content chapter title page, but I’m using the time to backfill a few pages and also I’m trying to draw something for someone else.
So, who do you think will remain male? Also include Josh and Sam the cop since they were surely hit by the Phoenix fire as well. Heh heh.
Phew, good question.
I’d say that one of the Sarin/Mori pair will turn female. Simply for the possibility of having kids. Which one however is anyone’s best guess.
I’m actually pretty sure that Kili will turn female. For similar reasons if nothing else.
Goro I could imagine staying male. And Aki in turn becoming female again. Bonus points if they have another kid in that constellation.
The cops… Can Phil as a dryad even be turned male? Do they have males? I think it was mentioned at some time in the comments, but I don’t remember right now.
But the real toughie is Sam. Even after thinking about it quite a while, I’m not ready to chance a guess here.
Phil was male until the sparky harvest stone, so yes they have males
Phil is short for “Philharmonic Orchestra” and I can confirm she came outta the forest a girl.
I meant upon being introduced in the comic… I thought she was, must have been confused with the other officers that transformed around her
Josh I think would probably remain male – I don’t get the impression he wanted to change in the first place.
Either Sarin or Mori, Phil, and Josh.
For staying male
All of them stay male.
I seem to remember that Aki was only attracted to females. So what should Goro do? She really badly wanted to be male when she was so weak. But that was 20 years ago, her time.
Of the doctors, I would say Sarin is the most likely to stay male, at least by default. Kili… I doubt it – a lot of early strips seemed to be suggesting she might have wound up going this route anyway. Mori… uh, no. Goro is the real wildcard, especially taking Aki into account. She said before she wouldn’t change back if she could, but that was before A: it was actually on the table, B: Aki had spent 20 years as a man.
As for Sam and Josh – Sam always seemed a bit bitter about the curse, so I’m thinking she’ll stay male. We haven’t seen a whole lot of Josh, but it might be bad PR if it got around that the president of the Hearts Society had benefited from a cure too expensive to give to the general public, even if she didn’t take advantage – in her shoes, I’d try to keep her personal exposure itself under wraps. Failing that, refusing to take advantage as long as harvest stone victims remain seems the politically safer option (which has me wondering, now that the doctors themselves are in the clear, whether we might be moving toward a less expensive cure…).
(At some point writing this post, I decided “screw it, they’re all ‘she.’ Even Greg.”)
This was my thoughts more or less as well–I believe both Sarin and Mori have said they’re not particularly picky, but I still feel Sarin will stay as a guy by default.
Kili I get the impression would be okay staying guy, but I also think will go back to being girl. Mori I’m not even sure was turned into a guy, but if so will go back to being girl. Goro could go either way, and is the one most likely to change around. Aki was experimenting between going guy/girl before being stuck as a guy, so now that the option’s available, Goro might choose the same.
I like the minimalistic cover page … gives it an air of mystery.
Personally, I think Sarin *might* remain a dude (or just flip-flop on a regular basis), as would Sam, but I think that’s about it. Goro … I think she’s mostly just going to want a rejuve.
Working on next comic RIGHT NOW guys. Sorry.
No worries!
Gave us some time to think about our theories concerning who’ll stay male and who won’t. 😉
