Today I picked it up from the library and read it as soon as I got home. It really is a great and wonderful story. The other stories also really made me want to cry for different reasons. Thanks so much for talking about this manga. 🙂
I really like his facial hair
Fun fact, the mangaka was a past assistant of Fujimoto, the chainsaw man mangaka. Its speculated their time working together is why Fujimoto likes to include trans rep in a few of his works.
That’s very cool to know!!
absolutely adored this story, so glad you enjoyed it too! i really appreciated the author acknowledging that they were only writing about a specific trans experience and that it was bound to vary in each individual. they worked as fujimoto's (author of chainsaw man) assistant back when he was doing fire punch and i wonder if that was a source of inspiration since the story has a trans man in it. are you familiar with oshimi shizuo? i think you'd deeply enjoy welcome back alice, one of the main characters is transfem and the author seems to be a closeted trans woman.
I’m so ecstatic for you that your mother accepts and supports you as your true self ❤️
I have this manga on my tbr and I think I may need to purchase it when I have the funds.
Thank you for always sharing your love of manga even if the videos don’t perform as well, I really adore it
I'm gonna get to borrow this soon! It's currently in transit from a nearby library to the library where I live. 😊 And it's really really wonderful to hear that your mother accepts you. You're her beautiful daughter. 💚
It’s boggles my brain that there are parents out there who can’t accept their children for who they are. So wonderful that you have love and acceptance from yours, that should be the absolute minimum from any parent. Humans can be the worst :(
@@trevorchester4439 Then how did i do it? How did thousands/millions of others do it?
@@trevorchester4439 I can't tell whether you are misinformed or flat-out lying. Most scientists (you know, the actual authority on things) say you can absolutely change sex AND gender.
@@trevorchester4439 Not believing what scientists say? Ok that explains things - you're a lunatic. Thanks for clearing that up. Being incorrect can be fixed but willfully ignoring the truth is likely a terminal issue. I can block you now. You cannot be fixed.
@@ALC111222333how so?
I have this Manga on my shelve. This Manga definitely hits home. Not enough people have read this Manga which I think is unfortunate . I'm so happy and pleasantly surprised this Manga exists. Finding representation, hell even trying to find good trans representation in media is hard to come by. And this Manga was a delight to read. I felt seen and heard. I'm trans as well. I'm a transgender man ftm. To feel like you can see yourself in the media you like is honestly cathartic in a way. I can't explain it well.
This is such a moving review. Thank you for sharing. I see you are still getting trolls. I'm sorry to see it. Some people will never understand a path that isn't there own. Your strength and passion inspires me. Block the bastards, don't let them grind you down ;)
Haha thank you. Half get blocked, half get played with like dumb little toys :) Depends on my mood
@@WillowTalksBooks They do deserve it and as long as they are not getting to you I shall enjoy their public shaming! Shame! *ring* Shame! *ring* xD
Added this to my list! Thank you for sharing ❤️❤️
I'm so sorry for the hate that you're getting in the comment section. RUclips algorithm fucked up and somehow recommend this only to incels. Don't listen to them 🙌
Thank you so much 💜 But it’s still a win for me since I get money and they out themselves as cringe little creeps lol
OK, it's on the shelf at my neighborhood library. I know where I'm going this afternoon.
Hooray, a fine choice!
Beautiful book-review about the Manga graphic novel. Your story touched me and you always look amazing!!

I’m sorry if I’m offending anyone of what I’m about to say but are those real?
You mean manga? Yeah! They’re Japanese comic books 😊
