Este manga oneshot es una historia muy bella pero cruda que se explora temas como la fluidez y disforia de género, el primer amor y la búsqueda de identidad de la adolescencia y como en ocasiones los recuerdos del pasado nos persiguen. Taiga sueña con convertirse en actor, al ingresar a la escuela secundaria conoce a la hermosa y enigmática María, no mucho después, Taiga descubre que Maria es en realidad su compañero Arima.
Precauciones/Trigger warning – Violencia sexual infantil
This one-shot manga (boys love/queer) is a very beautiful but raw story that explores gender fluidity and gender dysphoria as well as search of identity. It also explores trauma and how this can affect daily life. This being said it also talks about first love. Is a really short history that I really recommend.
Trigger warning – Sexual violence.
It's really on me when I read the full content warning, see my biggest trigger, and read it anyway.
I'm not, like, smart.
Abuse, rape, pedophilia, death of a parent
This was an incredibly complicated read. I'm still not sure it achieved what the author meant to actually achieve. In the end I wasn't sure about anything. Maybe that's the point. It's a journey.
Hmm...
Things I am appreciating more and more: The fact that a lot of my reads are focusing on loving and accepting the person and not a gender.
