Show is Yoru no Kurage wa Oyogenai - Jellyfish can't swim in the night

Probably spoilers. Last warning.

spoilerHere: https://yorukura.fandom.com/wiki/Kiui_Watase

I did this based on this scene from episode 11: https://streamable.com/oq226r

Comrade Kiui is FtM.

Not only that but his name "Watase" splits into "Wata" which means "crossing" or "ferry," often used in Japanese names to imply traversing a river or similar feature, hinting at transitions or change. While "se" meaning "rapids" or "change" is also another blatantly huge clue.

I haven't worked out what Kiui might reference, it's written in Katakana and some think it's the Kiwi bird. I don't know if this is related or not, someone else might.

QED

EDIT: Edit war has begun.

I think it will keep being good if the official art is anything to go by

I swear if they manage to make Kano calling up Mahiru in the middle of the night "just to hear her voice" and breaking down sobbing reminiscing about the time she kissed her after they had a pointless fight not gay I'm going to scream.

Which is an unhealthy level of emotional investment in a cartoon, hence the existing in a superimposed state of foolishly getting my hopes up and cynically not getting my hopes up.

It's like you can't even kiss your really good friend and tell them they're what gives your life meaning anymore without people saying it's romantic. Smh.
