Watashi Ki, Oriori to

This manga serves as the precursor to Rei Taki's *Last Gender* series. It presents foundational elements that would later be expanded in that work. The story introduces early concepts related to gender and identity, focusing on themes that would become central to the author's later projects. It is presented in a narrative style consistent with Taki's approach in *Last Gender*, offering a condensed version of ideas explored more fully in that series. The content is minimal, with little in the way of detailed plot or character development beyond what is necessary to establish the thematic groundwork.
