> Chapter 1 - 4: Wears male clothing to work, and coworkers referred to Mutsuki as being male. Sasaki even refers to Mutsuki as a "he" (in Japanese) during his conversation with the doctor. The doctor doesn't react at all, even though he should know about Mutsuki's gender. I mean, he always takes blood samples and regularly does check-ups. Plus I can't see them performing the quinx surgery and then missing the breasts if they were already there back then.

I think Sasaki isn't aware that Mutsuki is (biologically) female. If he knew, they wouldn't have split up, as this would mean that Mutsuki would be one of Torso's potential targets (Sasaki knows that the Quinx surgery was performed on Mutsuki and thus that he's likely some sort of scar on his body) and I can't see Sasaki consciously expose Mutsuki to such danger.

The breasts might also be an after-effect of the surgery. We already know that Mutsuki's surgery didn't have the desired effects (until now), so it wouldn't be a a stretch that there are also some undesired side effects.

But any kind of speculation won't help resolve this case now. Let's just hope that Ishida doesn't drag this out and that it will be resolved in the next chapter.
