chcz's manga / #Host club(4)

This a cute story, but I think it’s outdated on transgender issues or perhaps the mangaka was never too well versed in gender and sexuality issues (seen by the use of the terms “transvestite” and “transexual” and a lack of understanding about gender dysphoria). Spoilers: The uke is introduced as a “transvesite” who is saving up money to get a top and bottom surgery. But falls for a guy who doesn’t want him to get the surgery. once the uke confirms that the seme is ok having sex with him as he is, the uke gives up on gender reassignment surgery. The concept is actually really powerful and I could imagine an intense manga with this storyline done right.

I really enjoyed this manga. The interaction between the uke and seme was hilarious (mainly because of the uke's "traumatic past" and his surprising pervy-ness). I would love to read more about their other dates and would love at least 2 more short stories for the other hosts. I just reread, and I feel pretty insulted on behalf of bears.

Needs more!
