Niku Wo Hagu is a oneshot manga about a trans man and his relationship with his father by Oto Tooda that was published in Shounen Jump+ back in 2019. it suddenly got a translation a few days ago and after reading it, hell yeah, i definitely recommend it

Niku wo Hagu is noteworthy because of its compassionate and honest handling of its subject matter, but it’s also just a great comic. the art is good, and there’s a brilliant balance of what’s said explicitly about versus what’s left unsaid. im not going to post it because it’s better to experience it for yourself, but the sequence about Chiaki’s recurring dream was the one that really got to me. i really hope to see more work from Oto Tooda in the future (incidentally he’s the artist for the “Middle School Arc” spinoff of Chihayafuru, so if you also would like to see more of his work, there you go)

i should give a heads up that body dysphoria is a very heavy theme, if you’re sensitive to that. hunting is also a prominent motif so if you’re squeamish to animal death and depictions of butchering you should also be aware

For academic purposes, how would you encompass what defines the Fujimoto School of Manga? And which mangas are it's major exposes? Thank you for your time.

I use it to describe the circle of Tatsuki Fujimoto + people who have worked with him as assistants and have influenced each other: Tatsuya Endo, Yukinobu Tatsu, Oto Tooda, Yuji Kaku, they all have found success in Jump and have a similar line of work that in some ways stands out from the more traditional Jump line. I feel the circle is gonna become pretty influential in the future.

I think there’s similarities story-wise when it comes to narrative, character writing, gender, violence, and comedy. Artistically I feel there’s a pretty strong cinematic influence and very elaborate production.

Chainsaw Man, Fire Punch, Look Back, Spy x Family, Niku wo Hagu,  Dandadan, and Jigokuraku are the most successful works.

went manga oneshot divng again

you can really see that kui sensei (dungeon meshi) is an ideas person in her anthology Hikidashi ni Terrarium. i didnt finish it so i'll get back to this. you never know what to expect next only that it will be conceptually interesting! i really want to play a ttrpg with her now.... i am unworthy...

im on ichikawa withdrawl with the hnk hiatus so i read her work ouji no himitsu. gotta love that ichikawa absurdism. actually her and kuu are both pretty absurdist

echoes by ayumi aparently got a reboot that is still ongoing as break the border i hope an english translation comes out eventually.

i tag scrolled on baka's (good ol trusty bakamangaupdates) trans tags and came across one i had seen some years ago and ah yes i remember why i stopped reading that one, theres nothing necessarily bad with hentai authors but...... it is a sign to keep expections low sakura-chan to amane-kun is kinda weird about its genderqueer characters. its not bad.... its just not good. also clearly written by a cis person.

niku wo hagu: at first i was worried the author was going to fetishize the transmale protagonist like a certain other series i wont mention (partly because i dont remember the title. clockwork...?) but i was pleasantly suprised with this one. its a good one. yikes chiaki you need mods to filter those comments, please take care of your mental health and dont have disturbing comments read out loud. on one hand streaming to his old account and pointing a gun at the camera has such bde. i was half expecting chiaki to shoot the camera and end his channel that way. if the audience for the old account was filled with trash, chiaki may have been better off starting a new account. but theres also something there of forcing his audience to confront that he's a man. at the center of this work is the relationship chiaki has with his father. with his father's caner diagnosis and refusal of treatment, chiaki must grapple with his father's impending death, a father who has never accepted chiaki as male. they love each other but each has skewed expectations on what would make the other happy. deeply affected by the death of his wife, the dad has clung to the traditional (and misogynistic) belief that a women finds happiness is marriage (to a man), chiaki meanwhile in the short time he has left with his dad only wants to his dad happy along those same lines even being willing to stage a fake marriage. is only when chiaki takes intiative for his happiness and clearly communicates that he's trans that things fall into place since what his dad actually wanted was for chaki to be happy. shoutout to chiaki's doctor too. oh yeah warning for depictions of butchery like cutting up the body of an aminal for meat. highly recommend this work.

next i checked back in with boys run the riot. i remember the series made it on my radar when the first chapter came out and i had a lukewarm response. reading more its a pretty good series tho not sure its my thing. "quit school jk not really and join my fashion brand". one thing i found a bit odd were how ryo's eyelashes are highlighted in the artstyle when the only other characters to have prominant lashes were female or wearing makeup. im not sure what to make of this artstyle/character design choice.

lastly i checked in on hideyoshico who has penned several works that I've enjoyed and glad to see them active again. they dropped off the radar back in like 2013 but it seems none of their recent stuff is translated i hope someone picks them up eventually.

well actually let me talk about a couple of mature content works. viewer discretion is advised. est em is fairly well known, her works have a very distinct atmosphere that is instantly recognizable. if you go searching for est ems's works just be wary of the content... like just all of the content warnings. all of them. like others including several webcomic artists equus left a lasting impression on me although hatarake kentarous is my favorite (you know, the only one that doesnt need content warnings). and she hasnt released anything in years, i wonder whats she's doing these days, get a different job... hmm. i came across blood sugar sex and magic by accident but the author writes such a compelling character dynamic between the main duo which culminates in a scene of genuine connection. but hooboy does this one have all the mature content in it from explicit sexual content, to illegal street drug usage, to organized crime, and all with minors. yikes. this author has also stopped drawing manga.
