The chapter that went full circle.

What exactly was the point you were hoping to make here? Readers saw the chance for a trans character and for this to be labeled girls' love. Instead, we get yet another "Oh I just like cute things" and yet another cishet romance manga.

Senpai wa otokonoko.
Koisuru (Otome) no Tsukurikata.
Many more pieces in the crossdressing tag in which cisheteronormativity is favored because the authors are too scared to make a transgender character despite how the character was written.

Or maybe it's just a crossdresser, the author wanted to write a story featuring a crossdresser who likes cute things. How would one be scared to do that. Seriously, stop projecting.

Do you think that crossdressers are obliged to be transes, kid?

Did you know that violates rule 1

 

[henman]

Did you know that violates rule 1

No, not really. Rule 1 allows crossdressers to be straight

Man, people like you are full of toxicity. It's actually people like this who give trans people a bad name and make it harder for society to accept them.

If the author intends for a character to be a straight man who likes crossdressing, then don't demand for him to be trans. That's like saying a tomboy girl to be a trans man because she happens to like non-girly things. If you want to read a girls' love story with a trans character, go look for a story like that. It's like going to a Chinese restaurant and complain that there is no hamburger on the menu. Why would the authors be afraid to make a character trans? Japan is not a hellhole where LGBT people are punished and killed like in certain places. I've seen them in other manga. They exist. It's simply that this author isn't making that kind of character.

Example: Naoto Shirogane from Persona 4. It's not that she wants to be a man. She wants the respect that men have. She wants equality.

While I am in favor of people living as the gender they prefer, forcing someone to be trans just because they like something traditionally manly or feminine is opening a new can of worms. There's a reason why women who compete in martial arts like MMA or serve in the military don't transition to becoming a man, you know?

I don't have any complain if Subaru does turn out to be a transwoman who still likes women. But if he isn't, that's fine with me as well. That's simply his sexuality and preference in clothing. Being able to pass as both gender is a talent not everyone has.

It's quite refreshing to read a story like this with a character like Shibata. She has got guts! She still remains realistic, with her own weaknesses and doubts, especially concerning her art, by the looks of it. Of course this may cut the series far shorter than some other manga where the mangaka would spend 50 chapters in total ambiguity, with neither main character having the guts to approach the vital subject.

All I see are 2 people in this story beginning to fall in love with each other, and one or 2 people on here engaging in bullshit labelling terms.

Thank you for the translation.

 

[Bonzalez]

The 1-2 punch of the trademark ‘I just like cute things’ line and heteronormativity is really tanking any interest I had in this series lmao

Hope you find another story you like more, but I think this one is cute. People don't need to be gay or trans to play with gender

 

[wai_ma1]

a trans character and for this to be labeled girls' love.

That... That is a oxymoron.

 

[JasonRed]

I hope she prefers him dressed as a woman.

so you're saying it's fine to go to a girls' love manga thread and bitch about wishing one of the girls was actually a man? oh suddenly it's not acceptable is it?

I agree we should have more trans positive stories. I think we should more trans girl love that isn't played for jokes. These are good things to want and look for.
But forcing a story to be those things is not good.
As a trans person, I find the whole "he/she is an egg" thing to be really weird. We should not be telling others how we think they should be considering themselves. That's just as bad as forcing gender conforming speech. Give people the tools and discussions to make their own discoveries about themselves, but don't just say "you are trans because I said so based on the way you act."
A story about a cross dresser (either male or female) who has accepting friends and is happy with themselves is good. We should be telling people that GNC care is good. We should tell men that skin and hair care is good. Being a man doesn't mean you have to be super masc. Just like being female doesn't mean you have to be super fem.

Bottom line, it's not an artist who is "afraid", we should in general not be forcing people in to little check boxes of gender.
