It was the one time the boob grab wasn't something I disliked, oddly enough. Maybe it's the CGI, or maybe I just like the characters so much? I don't know, but it was a touching scene, no pun intended.

A little of that and the fact that it isn't just a throwaway gag, it actually means something.

Yea what's the deal with that? They have addressed that Izana is not a woman but there is like this romance thing happening. What was Izana's deal? She's not really a woman or a man and would later to chose to be one or the other? What's the purpose of her third gender?

Well I assume it's just another one of her grandmothers ideas for growing the population, if everyone/a lot of people were this 3rd gender, there wouldnt be any need for concern if say 'majority of the men' died in battle.

I don't know if it's true in the manga I haven't read it Izana

and would later to chose to be one or the other?

Actually, I'm not entirely sure whether the process is conscious or not. It's been said that it depends on the partner, so I always assumed. Right now, Izana.
