J no Subete

Complete | NAKAMURA Asumiko | 2004 released

F 120722 I have so many thoughts about this... Like, I really love Nakamura-sensei as an amazing author and artist, as someone extremely talented and capable of conveying the most complex feelings in such seamless ways with such limited mediums, but like... please, sensei, fucking learn about the people you're trying to portray T.T I know this was made in 2004, and is probably 3/4 the fault of the translators, but just having everyone treat J as a man, even though she said so many times she was (felt at least) like a woman, that just hurts and really bad. She really deserved better, to have the only person who actually treats you right be your child is so sad, not even her "husband" sees her as a woman. And then have Rita also treat her like a man, even though she was probably the one who taught Jean about J being a woman... like, she's shown to look like she actually understands J, idk, seems wrong to me. And to finish, gosh, Nakamura's work's are way too triggering, that they're actually upsetting. Idk how the story could've been better handled, but showing in full detail almost every rape scene is horrendous and extremely concerning.

Yume Touka End Roll

F 150619 RR 150822 1. Bad, I don't like that story at all. 2. Cute, gives you a cozy feeling after reading it. A (implied) trans woman and a guy (sort of) form a family. No surprise, it was a bit transphobic, but not too bad. 3. Highschool friends reunite after 6 years, MC realises both of them are in love with the other, but the other guy was waiting for him to admit it. MC gets his eyeball liked...

F 181022 Could be better if the author didn't have such a sexualized/warped idea of what transgender and transvestite people are. Like all the foundations are there, but at the end the characters just feel like a mockery (I'm referring to Okaeri Alice as well).

F 070123 This is actually so good. I feel enlightened or sumthing. It doesn't even feel like a porn. It's just like a story of real people who have extremely free sex lives, there's zero fetishization and everything feels natural. It's probably the first time I've seen/read such a progressive story, taking into account how the orgies and relationships are handled, every (most) character feels like a real person as if they could exist. Doesn't need saying, but I wish there was more. Chiaki is just like me frfr. Never have I related so strongly, so fast to a character. I hc him as autistic, tbh he's just like me in that sense; especially how extremely blunt and direct he is.

Tamen De Gushi

Ongoing | Tan Jiu | 2000 released

S F 260622 It's really sad to see one of my favorites stories get scrapped, I do hope that one day the author is able to come back and continue it, until then, I'll never forget Tamen De Gushi ʚ♡ɞ
