"Trap" probably refers to the genre and the subset of crossdressers where there's a certain intent to 'deceive'. That's how a lot of works that Hachimitsu-scans translates sell themselves as.

Nobody's using it here to describe trans women.

No way around it now Cocona and Papika are married.

They interlocked fingers and everything.

I was honestly surprised there wasn't a kiss at the end with all that leaning forward...

So why exactly Misora got triggered?

Possibly victim blaming ("Because you're cute")

More likely to do with how Misora only gets these compliments from Tasuku. Anonymous is the one Misora's interested in, supposedly, though this could also be an extreme tsundere reaction. Having Tasuku care so much yet the guy's totally not interested in them romantically.

They've always been extremely stand-offish towards Tasuku.

Edit: It also looks like Misora heavily struggles with gender perceptions. I think they might actually be a-gender with a preference for a female look. They seem to show a sort of revulsion to both genders and admire Anonymous for not being anyone or anything?

They might also having a growing sexual or romantic interest in men they perceive as in a negative light. (dirty desires and all that)

I really like the opening shot of this one.

Haifuri starts nice and with rather strong subtext but the subtext never goes anywhere and ends up forgotten.

As for the show itself, it sort of falls into a monster of the week pitfall with roughly the same "girls are outmatched, captain comes up with unconventional nearly impossible plan that somehow works". The final episode was pretty much a letdown it suddenly turns the main threat completely unable to defend itself with a final cheap drama shot.

However, Haifuri has a nice mood and it's first few episodes are pretty good. So nothing stops you from getting a taste if anything.

Canon!

Maybe it's Silver Fire?

I'm fairly sure it's not the sort of 'eat' you'd find in a Yakumi Sarai doujin...

I think this is the one?

Having people use a slur against your sexuality as joke doesn't feel very nice. There's worse stuff out there, but it'd be nice if offensive slurs weren't used in casually joking manner.

At least not in a community as big as the internet, amongst friends who're all okay with it shrug

…Did you seriously think that Takumi was a girl at first? ò.Ô

<.< I had to check twice to make sure he wasn't just a boyish girl.

The translating team might've been just as confused as you.

Is any case, Niu apparently has a male body and a love for cute, feminine clothes. It's heavily hinted that they're a transgender girl but if that's too hard to understand I guess you can assume they're just a boy that's really comfortable in girlish clothes while having very girlish behaviour and disliking being called a boy.

I'd argue both Fantasy and Introspective work for the general mood of this one.

Mhmmm, true. Wops! The Manwhua is indeed korean in style and names, thus likely setting.

Can't say if Korea matches Japan in this ignoring bullying stuff. I could perhaps look it up later at some point.

It would've been at least a lot less deadly.

What's done is done though, hopefully this'll put things in motion so it becomes a lot harder for anything like it to happen again.

How in the hell is she not in some kind of juvenile detention facility jesus.

Welcome to japan where, unfortunately, a school's reputation is critically important. There's such a strive for perfection that schools cannot have anything tarnish their reputation, this includes bullying. So, the school completely ignores bullying, because if they acknowledge it it exists and leaves a stain on their record.

So yeah, this is why teachers or parents never do a thing when bullying shows up in a manga or anime.

Sweet? Consensual? Shows that people can enjoy both roles?

Damn you Jin, you're going to make people want more.

For those calling out the parents, remember that social norms and values are notably different in Japan compared to the West's more individualistic values.

Being weird and a childish might not seem like a big deal here in the West, but in Japan it'd seriously hurt your ability to be part of society. You need to fit in, not stand out. Japan's suicide rates are high for a reason. The parents are really trying hard to give Fuyo a comfortable and happy life, though I guess that doesn't really excuse the pain they inflicted in the process.

Feels like a reference to Kurogane Ken's suzunari doujin: http://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/otodure#15
