F 20:26 120722 Tags: interesting, shounen It's been so so long sonce I've read something as amazing as this. I think mind blowing could be a pretty accurate word to describe the experience. THIS is what Eri meant when she talked about blurring the lines between reality and fiction. Even though we were so explicitly told this was a movie, there was not a single time I was 100% sure we were actually watching them act nor what was going to happen next. This is truly a masterpiece of a manga.

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.

F 051219 Really cute story about exploring gender and sexuality.

F 091219 RR 22:04 170822 RR 070224 Feels real. I loved how much the manga showed the internal monologue of the MC. I connected a lot with the MC, I liked how much he cried.

F 17:13 220822 Such an amazing story. Would and will read it again (soon).

F 151021 RR 021022 A story about two 32 year olds, that have been dating for 15 years, and their struggles as an "old" couple. It's a really cute story, with a heavy realistic feel to it. I love how their communication misunderstandings are realistic, so they move the story and don't make you angry at the characters for being stupid.
