sadslime's manga / #Cross dressing(3)

Matsuoka is an ordinary salaryman who has the unusual hobby of dressing as a woman at night for the thrill of it, until one day things go too far and he's almost raped. After he escapes, his coworker Hirosue finds him on the road and helps him out, so Matsuoka pretends he can't speak to avoid being found out. Hirosue and Matsuoka end up going on several dates with Matsuoka pretending to be a woman until Matsuoka realizes he's fallen for Hirosue. But it turns out that neither of their hearts were ready for the consequences when the truth was revealed. This is one of those rare stories where you could almost say it's too well written. The characters, their feelings, and their reactions to the situation are all so realistic and believable, and that's exactly what makes it painful and difficult to read. Do not go into this expecting a light and fluffy romance. Trigger warnings: attempted rape, lying/manipulation, rape.

Mashiro met her best friend Omi in college, and though Omi is actually a boy, he's so cute that Mashiro has always seen him as a girl, and the two have even moved in together. But when Mashiro is getting hit on at a party, a handsome stranger swoops in to her rescue and reveals himself to be Omi. Now that Mashiro has seen Omi as a man, she can't get him off her mind! Cute but honestly could have taken like four chapters. Trigger warnings: dubcon, stalker, online harassment.

Kanade is a popular office worker with a secret hobby--after work, he likes to dress up as a pretty girl. Meanwhile, his coworker Aki is known as a cold and unapproachable woman, but in her private life she dresses like an ambiguously gendered punk. The two meet in their off-work personas and hit it off, striking up a friendship, but when Kanade realizes Aki is actually his coworker, he realizes that this will mean the end of their budding friendship. Cute and interesting reversal of norms and expectations. No trigger warning.
