I hate taking part in this kind of conversation but I feel the need to point out that this is wrong, Alluka specifically wants to acknowledged as a "good girl" in chapter 330 and uses the super-feminine "atashi" personal pronoun (and atashi isn't an ambiguous pronoun like boku can be, atashi is really only used by girls and sometimes by drag queen/"okama" stereotype characters).

So any argument against Alluka not being a girl because "she never refers to herself as a girl, it's just killua" is just wrong.

(and the "databook argument" really doesn't hold much weight when Togashi had already retconned Zoldyck-relevant information, making the databook obsolete since 2006-ish)

But I'll be leaving this conversation now since it's just full of people who hear only what they want to hear. I specify that before saying "we should do this and that", I'd much rather wait for new chapters to be released. You have influenced my opinion on Neferpitou, but one problem at a time. All I want to say is that I can't agree when you say that, due to some retcon alterations going back to the 2006 Databook, WAY BEFORE Alluka was even introduced, we can never, ever give any credit to what Togashi says again, as if he wasn't the creator of the manga or did not know what he is (hopefully not "was") drawing.
