Welcome Back, Alice - Ch. 39 - Welcome back

I am the only one who dislikes that at the end of the day, Kei seems to not be transgender?seems he transitioned becuase Youhei is Straight more than he felt like a woman.

Maybe they’re more NB/gender-fluid. They’re whoever they choose to be.

 

[TwisterJR]

Next chapter is the last one right?
Also, author really doesn't wanna draw huh

I mean i could see it, but as the story is displayed if this is the case, i think its portrayed poorly.

Thanks for the chapter!

 

[fgsfdss]

Next issue is the last chapter? Is it going to be anything other than a tragedy from this author for once? I don't see how he can get them all killed in a single chapter

Edit: Also who the fuck is Alice??

Kei was pretty sure that they weren't trans though. I'd say kei is just non-binary.

Enlightening in a sense I guess

I hope he grows his hair back again. I know it's a symbol of MC accepting him despite it all, but honestly he looks great with long hair.

It’s an abstract kind of gay

Next chapter is the last chapter

Literally nothing happened though
And who the fuck is Alice

 

[frern]

I expected so much more. Can't believe it's over so soon.

Now imagine this story with Kei being ugly. People would feel WAY differently about this whole thing.

good chapter

Also who the fuck is Alice??

Ok, that's a good question. Who is Alice?!

Most of the time I thought it was Kei. Cause of the 1st Volume cover and also in context of the story from the very first chapter.

What if I took that ice cream you're eating and replaced it with ants? You'd feel WAY differently about that whole thing.

Tell me why you think this analogy makes sense and i will tell you why you're stupid.

i found it. queer sex that is portrayed in an artsy and abstract way which ISNT ero guro nansensu!

I mean to me that was the take away from the whole past couple chapters. This whole thing has been about them exploring their identities and coming to a conclusion. Kei's transition to a woman just wasn't their conclusion, but merely a part of their journey.

I do get the frustration of "hur hur being trans is just a phase" though, but that is simply just some people's reality. Sometimes you just don't know who you are until you try and fall out of stuff. Not that I want to discredit trans youth, just saying your mileage may vary. Some people know for sure with whole confidence right off the bat, and others just really don't have a damn clue and jump around with their identity before finding the right fit. (but maybe I'm just projecting my own queer experiences here, I didn't attain Q status until my mid 20s bc I just had no idea, and hell sometimes I'm still questioning.)

Now I'll preface this with the fact I've been reading this as it's dropped and haven't had a full re-read (ergo older chapters may be fuzzy to me) but my interpretation of Kei has kinda been something like:

Start: "I don't feel like a boy. I don't like being a boy. My worldview has only ever shown me a binary though, so since I'm not a boy I must be a woman"

Mid: "I'm happier as a woman, but I still don't feel right. I'm frustrated bc this isn't all I thought it would be. I still feel incomplete. What else is there though?"

These past couple chapters: "I am now finding out what else there is by having gay sex with my bestie by shared experience with another gender confused friend. I don't need to be either a man or a woman to be loved and to be human and have human experiences. I don't need to be a man or a woman, I can just be."

Or I'm just reading too much into Oshimi-Sensei's fetishes idk. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk lol

edit: after reading that afterword, I think I'm pretty spot on lol.
