Okay so I read this short manga the other day and I kind of have a strong love/hate relationship with it~
What I hate:
Despite having a canonically trans woman, as per typical of Japan, everyone constantly (constantly!) misgenders her. Everyone constantly refers to her as a gay man. And people even out her thinking its absolutely no big deal.
The manga also seems to think that lesbians don’t exist :V and the other main cis girl, Hina, who has a crush on Itsuki, constantly kinda does this creepy detransitioning thing in her head where she see’s Itsuki as a guy in her little fantasy world.
Things I absolutely love:
Itsuki. Total BAMF.
Seriously as pictured about she gives no fucks about what other people think and even flashes some guy in a “yeah, so what? I’m trans. Deal with it!” kinda way~ She even suggests the classic “take a picture, it’ll last longer, I don’t give a fuck~”
She’s also really kinda playful and flirty and will tease the cis duders for being uncomfortably cissexist. (It’s absolutely wonderful~). Especially when she pads her bathing suit top and rocks out on the beach, and all the guys are like *drool* and she’s like *smug smug~*
Really she’s just has an awesome personality and I loves her <3
If you check out the manga, note that there is a lot of bad :V as mentioned above buuuuuuuut it’s short and Itsuki is great <3
The manga is called Half and Half btw!
