Sugar ❀'s manga / #Coming Out(2)

P: mickie: A story of a boy who is finding more about himself but is hindered by society. This is not some hardcore gay sex story and for those searching for that kind of story should not be reading this. But you should read this anyway because this is how people live with the discrimination and hate that not only comes from society but the people you loved such as family and friends. It has some triggering content such as bullying and suicidal thoughts but it is not the point of the story so if those things doesn't bother you, this is a story worth a read for its beautiful art and writing. O: This is pretty good. It is realistic, and basically teaches you not to judge people based on their sexuality, and explores lgbt people. The peoples' reactions sometimes bothered me though - those shocked looks were unsettling. It was touching to see Tasuku's development, and him becoming more confident and open. The ending felt abrupt yet also complete... I wish we had more though ah.

P: Based on a famous essay by a Japanese gay activist, this manga tells the story of his life leading from his childhood up to his marriage to his husband. O: C6 - man... so glad he has such understanding friends TT it was so sad to see him breakdown. This was a really good read especially since it is based off real life events! Although it was lacking depth in a way since there's simply too much content to be covered, it was still really good! The manga format made it more digestible and easier to read. I really appreciated the notes about the essay and photos at the end of each chapter, as they really helped me appreciate this work more!
