Why has it been 2 weeks since I last had an update 
I’ve felt the need to start picking up stuff that deals with LGBT themes recently - particularly (but not only) gender identity and asexuality.
I’m glad I finally finished this, after almost 2 years! I found it overall fairly enjoyable, and think it did a good job of representing ace & aro identities and terminology. I’d say the story was interesting enough (tho a little boring earlier on), and think it presented things very accessibly, while not getting overly deep into some of the more meta-discussions.
So far (37%) this seems to mostly involve storeis around difficulties with dating. I think one character was a bit gender nonconforming, but idrc details rn. You can tell it’s based on people’s real experiences, which is nice
I guess the MC is some form of nonbinary or agender (unclear which). I’m 37% in rn, and not quite sure how I feel about it just yet
I read somewhere that one of the MCs is closeted trans masc, but if that’s the case, it hasn’t been made clear yet. As sports manga go, I think it was pretty enjoyable, and not too overwhelming. The two leads seem interesting enough, so I may continue it
May try the following in the near future:
- ぼくらのへんたい 1 | L24
- カノジョになりたい君と僕 1 | L24
- https://learnnatively.com/book/86e8cbcf53/ - preview was ok. Starts off with gay protagonist saved by a mysterious lesbian
- 同居人の美少女がレズビアンだった件。 | L24??
- ボーイズ・ラン・ザ・ライオット 1 | L24 - trans boy, high school
- 青春マイノリティ!!(1) | L24?? - if I’m not mixing things up, the afab character is trans masc. Read the preview, seems like it will be just okay
FLOWERS -Le volume sur printemps-（春篇) - Visual Novel Club which I’m really loving so far (tho I’m already familiar with the section I’m in). Vocab and kanji are actually a good challenge. Flesh & Blood is on pause for me till I’m done with this. My original plan was to have F&B done before Flowers started, but life happened. Everything else is on an “if I’m in the mood” basis rn
