@PeterAn4798 I knew it hell yeah, btw what chapter they'll met? I get the feeling shes just a side chara

 

[Ruzand]

oh great, I actually like open stories.

 

[PeterAn4798]

@nothingtosay It seems to be at the end of this arc, which is chap 49-50.

You just activated my Trap card

Wait, so (s)he's a trans or just a trap?

 

[ribbitribbitsaga]

wait wtf Just because Towa is trans doesn't mean she can't inherit the clinic right? That doesn't stop her from being a doctor there right? She counters his point by saying that it took courage and then immediately disrespects him by making it look like he is denying her way of living and then calls him a coward. She's definitely in the wrong. too arrogant and Toki is too weak lmao imagine getting humiliated by a trans woman cant be me

 

[KairukuKonf]

I feel sorta bad for Toki, he never said he denies Towa, in fact in his thoughts he uses "She", not "He".
He's just pissed because with her out of the picture for owning the clinic, which no offense but, due to Japans overall attitude towards women, he basically is burdened with it.
Japans culture sorta forces him to think
"Well, I have to"
He is supposed to be the poster Japanese Son in his family, and he doesn't want a reminder that due to his own line of thinking(as I said, understandable due to Japans culture), he can't pursue his own dreams.
And just because Towa is accepted by her parents, she might not be the poster child of them. If she and Toki were both accepted mutually as equal, Toki wouldn't have this problem. However, he does have this problem, he is the Son his parents want to be for the sake of him feeling forced he has to be it.

I was not expecting the author to throw in a trans character as well. I'm impressed by how many difficult topics the author is covering in this story, though it is starting to feel a little forced at this point.

This is Asia, bro. Trans or LGBT in general is still a much more sensitive topic here, especially for high educated and rich family.

@comeonnow0 - sorry you read waaaay too much into that, I mean, anyone that wants to be a parent, doesnt't want to be a crappy parent, right? that's all.

 

[Shyri]

Damn it’s a trap

 

[flak]

well, this took an interesting turn.

 

[neolaguna]

Gang rape, getting bullied into suicide, a trans character. I wonder what comes next. RELife had drama, but Blue Hearts really goes the next step. Respect for that. 👀

What i learned from manga/anime is, in japan, being somewhat "not normal" is a problem for society. Being unemployed, even for a short while is a shame. Being gay is problematic. Not being married before turning 30yo is odd, too. I don't wan't to know how trans people get treated over there. I really wonder when japan drops that attitude, so people don't need to live in fear being special. 😭

 

[CanadianHetaliaGuys]

Like someone else says, damn. Blue hearts is challenging literally every issue imaginable and is depicting Japanese society as super fucked. If none of this is embellished for the sake of good storytelling, then holy shit Japan. The level of intolerance is insane

 

[xp32]

The 'sister' can still fap and produce semen so their parents are okay with that.

 

[ryouhira]

another Yaoi bait?

 

[Tsukinotaku]

I was not expecting a sudden transfer character...

 

[Kuro-Nyan]

what an old-school 😑 u still can become doctor while become a singer
