Mameiha's manga / #Crossdressing(17)

I'm not usually big on cross dressing in Yaoi, but this story handled it well. I could easily see where, in a society that discriminates against homosexual couples, dressing like a girl would be convenient. Yet, I never got the sense that Hana was unhappy being a gay male. He took advantage of his slight frame and feminine features to make his way in the world without diminishing his maleness. Even a coworker at the Male Cheerleader club had a girlfriend. Maybe it was the Kansai ben, but he always "felt" male to me. I liked that most about this story. That, and the fact that he didn't hide his cross dressing, rather he and his partner both embraced it, made this story better than most dealing with cross dressing.

One of the few manga that approach crossdressing with a positive approach and outcome for a male character who is genuinely comfortable as a male in a gay male role vs as a transgender person or more comfortable being viewed as more feminine. Well done. Great writing and beautiful art.
