shocked this has such a low rating ngl almost missed it because of it
silly goofy how they didn't upload the other part under this one but made a separate entry
i hope vol3 gets translated too
This was wildly progressive for the year it came out, handled the topic better than some current mangas
makes me curious how the official translation did the pronouns, unfortunately I haven't been able to find it anywhere
chiba and her multiple attempts at a gaslighting into detransition speedrun
ngl I'm disappointed at how transphobia is framed in this manga, it's depicted as this completely natural response, especially since multiple positive characters still propagate it, and it's only condemned when it's a part of bullying.
The only adult trans person is a predator, and has a predator for a boyfriend
This author has an issue with confusing gender identity and sexual orientation(having trans women call themselves "gay" because they like men, or "becoming" women because they're gay) and it seems to be a bit better in this one, even if there's the whole part about Yuki becoming a woman FOR shii-chan(and not for herself) that I found strange.
Having the only existing trans masc character detransition later on was also weird, especially since Takatsuki had gender dysphoria even before puberty, which only intensified during it, so their experience was closer to a typical trans masc person than a typical detransitioner.
Overall while there were some relatable moments, taking in the whole manga made it feel like the person writing it only kind of heard about the experience from other people and didn't really try that much to properly understand it making it feel very half-assed
Somehow this completely unhinged, drawn in the same comedic style as all of this dudes other works manga always makes me bawl my eyes out every reread
everything changed so much in s2 I had to do a double take if I'm even reading the right manhwa
s1 was pretty good, interesting and not AS typical as other manhwas this genre but s2 just throws everything out
If you liked s1, don't bother with s2, and if you didn't start yet just pass on this one
Taking into account that both of them are the only ones on the cover and the fact that Yachiyo isn't wearing his wedding ring in ch3(divorced alr maybe?) they'll probably end up together
Kinda sad abt Kiyoto cuz i like him alr
