YaoiHands's manga / #cross dressing(2)

Smells Like Green Spirit

Complete | Nagai Saburou | 2011 released

Mishima is gay and secretly likes to cross dress at night. He is being bullied but one of his abusers, Kirino, has the same eyes as him. His other abuser, Yumeno, has similar eyes. A story of coming out to yourself and acceptance. The crude art style does help ease the blatant homophobia, but it also helps show how just ugly that hate is. I cried at the end of the final chapter. I specifically cried because I wasn’t sure if Kirino was happy or not.

Playtime with Hakdo

Complete | AM | 2000 released

Ending felt very abrupt, but still good. I guess because it wasn’t that typical ‘I love you’ or ‘Together forever, happily ever after’ ending it felt like more could have happened. Still cute, I like the different romances without it being an annoying love triangle, cheating, or ‘will they, won’t they’ nonsense. The different personalities were fun for each character and the buildup was there but not over dramatic. Overall a nice easy going story.
