Has it really -never- occurred to you that fiction could reinforce someone's misconceptions the same way it might reinforce your worldview?

That argument is familiar to me. I've heard it many times.

It never convinced me.

A kid ties a red blanket around his neck, jumps from the top of a building and is seriously injured. People demand that all superhero comics be outlawed. Another kid plays violent action games, and one day shoots someone. People demand GTA and Saints Row be outlawed. Another kid watches Bugs Bunny cartoons and becomes unruly. People demand that the wascally wabbit be outlawed.

Hundreds of millions of kids read superhero comics, play shooting games or watch Bugs Bunny and it has zero effect on their daily lives. These kids can tell reality from fiction. A few kids, however, try to imitate irl the fictional behaviors they see. Are they mentally challenged? Are their parents to blame? I dunno. What I do know is that it's not a good excuse for censorship. Those who let fiction and reality get mixed in their heads need to learn the errors of their ways. You should teach them, instead of accusing whatever work of fiction messed them up. This is how it goes, for all kinds of fiction.

Totally agree with this. Just like reading fake news, we must always check again and again things before closing our perception. Not only fiction, everything that was told to you indirectly, by a media (here is a manga story), was already modified. It wasn't reality anymore.
Even when you saw the reality by yourself, it could be distorded also, because your perception could be influenced by your emotion or context etc. It is naivety that keep you doublecheck your perception. Instead of accusing fiction, teach ppl about what can be fictive from your point of view.
Misconception always exists. What's interesting about this fiction, is how it bring attention and question to lgbt subject, just like dramatic theatre.

Boy i felt so grossed out when Hime said that she did oral to the boyfriend because he was being insistent, and it was doubled because i´m asexual, i just can´t understand why would you do that to someone that´s so obviously against it

Omg i felt so grossed out too. Like every sweet feeling of the previous chapter was negated suddenly. Sometimes girl/woman do suggest cunnilingus for someone who isn't into it too. And it make me wanna puke all the same

Yes Seize the moment..seize the moment...*my chanting for now*

I ship Aya and Haruki now! Mochida can go to hell

Sei is like a broken shell trying to survive.
A deep traumatise of unrequited-love sometime can haunt people for years and years, maybe for life. Sei want to toys with Aya's affection just like how Yoru "toys" with her affection. It's a sick kind of connection because it's seem that Yory also desire love for someone else, and she didn't get it right so she venge it out on Sei (I can't find any other explaination because Yoru doesn't seem much like a nympho to me).
Through Aya Sei can saw Yoru, and also she can feel what Yoru felt. No wonder why Yoru always comeback in her head.
I saw this circle of hell too many time but i particularly like how it is depicted on this manga. So catharsis!

Well i kind of get this. It's like karma or destiny in boudhism

Always nice to see more Tmfly uploaded, her works are always nice to read.

I like this one-shot sequel, it means that they are still (very) close, even if they aren't dating anymore. Maybe FWB? If they both enjoy it, there isn't any problem with it.

Well since we haven't a chapter in year, it's kinda to know if there is no connection.

There are like 34 chapters in Japanese, but only 12 translated here. The manga it's quite good, but there's not direct connection with this one shot.
But if you want an spoiler from the manga... It's quite bittersweet. Filler.... filler.... filler.... filler.... and doesn't seem it's going to have a good ending for both, but we can hope... filler... filler...

Oh i didnt know that. Where can i find the raws?

Thanks a lot for your link. It hurt so bad to read. I totally found my past self in Saeko's mind. It's frightening how fiction can be so accurated.
Maybe in manga this couple can last.

It's just like watching all my past relationships flashback before my eyes. Now i have insomnia

This will be with me to my grave

Wow, nightmare before Christmas

Shizuka kills me with this new look. But seeing her cry like this also break my heart (-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩___-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩)

All of this was pretty legit. I am just now trying to transition, so I'm doing a complete swap of my gender identity. Goodbye boxers and baggy pants, hello skirts and... well. Needless to say, I really fucking felt those couple pages. You have to think about fashion!? Why can't I just vomit and be femme? Were it so easy. But I'm motivated by self-realization and not a desire to date someone. Guess I gotta stick with it.

Cannot be more accurate bro: vomit and be femme ᕦ( ⊡ 益 ⊡ )ᕤ

that's some serious healing stuff! (((o(ﾟ▽ﾟ)o)))

I guess writing only about happy couple is too difficult for the author. I did think that this story might be different, just like A room for two. I was always waiting for another new innocent pure love idea from this serie to surprise me. But
again I see cheap dramas. π_π which is really saddd, especially this case.

Yeah never cease to amaze

This is total bliss!!!! (((￣(￣(￣▽￣)￣)￣)))
My energy for the day are completely charged!!

OMG this is stressful ( ；´Д｀) i'm scared of bizarro logic girl. Plus she looks a lot like yandere to me!

I think the problem here isn't lying on tracing act, but how he doesn't credit the one he copy. Doesn't mean he's lazy, rotoscoping animators hired actors and cameraman or shooters to do shots and then tracing on it. Shou did violated creators code by not mentioning photo artists, it's clearly a plagiarism case. Althought i feel it's quite sad that he didn't chose to credit the original photos, or didn't have the chance to do so, so he can keep this series going.

Gin is very much a woman as we see her behave and takes care of her appearance.

Nope and nope. Gin never stated he felt like he's actually a woman. Taking care of your appearance is not something that defines a woman. And he does not "behave like a woman" when he's not in "representation". Like here. Actually, he dresses up and "takes care of his appearance" only when cross-dressing, like an actor.

She’s not just a “trap,” she legitimately wants to become a woman and is trying to figure out her sexual identity.

Nope. Or we didn't read the same manga.

Gin just wants to look cute, to have likes on instagram. He craves attention, but as a guy, he's shy and thinks he's too short. It's plainly written in chapter 1. It's very much like net okamas, guys who adopt female personas on the net in order to attract attention and praises.

Like not every drag queen is gay, not every cross-dresser is a trans. At this point of the manga, Gin is no transgirl.

The blackmailing chick teaches him about transgenders and he thinks about it, and wonders if he’s one too. So we shouldn’t rule that out.

The blackmailing chick didn't really teach him about transgenders, she told him more about gender boudaries and social steteotype about genders.
Also i think Gin craves affection more than attention: he want to be surrounded by true friends, to be praised by others so at the end he can be confident with himself. The blackmailing chick did confirm his "talent for making himself look cute". Gin is indeed a very timid one who always depreciated himself, so his inner always need ppl regarding him as an equal one (but not as a superior one so he'd be isolated) .
The problem of Gin now is increasing with him attached to an 'alpha male' (in his eyes). Because at the same time Gin can show off with a relationship with this alpha male, or Gin can be gay for real, Gin search answer in gender boudaries and stereotypes. From the beginning til now, Gin never really ask himself if he want to be a woman.
