It is with great joy that we are finally able to present the start of a brand new series: Kyou Kara Yonshimai written by Nanki Satou and illustrated by Akira Kizuki. And what's more, we already have the first two chapters done for your reading pleasure. The story centers around 16-year-old Sakura Manabe and her three siblings. Initially, Sakura is living with her 12-year-old sister Momiji and 27-year-old sister Botan, who works to support the three of them. Their 19-year-old brother Kashiwa has been away at college for two years and has suddenly decided to come back to live with them. However, when Kashiwa arrives, Sakura and the others discover that Kashiwa has now decided to live as a woman. Sakura and her two sisters now have to cope with the new reality of having another sister.
In our experience, it is very rare that we find manga that deal with transgender issues, and even rarer find them available to be scanlated, so we consider ourselves lucky to have found a manga like this, especially since it was more or less by chance, and it was only just recently brought to our attention. The manga started serialization in Comic Birz last October, and the first volume was released in March. But the good thing is that the second volume is just about to be released in about a month. So, we hope you enjoy Kyou Kara Yonshimai alongside Kakukaku Shikajika v04 which starts next.

This seems pretty interesting. I'm def gonna keep an eye on it, thanks!
ReplyDeleteHopefully this won't go the same way as Hourou Musukou where the trans-person suddenly "grows out of it", as if it was some sort of phase.
ReplyDeleteI also hope that it will turn out better than Hourou Musukou. It really was rather disappointing when the author just suddenly decided to have Yoshino grow out of it like it was just some phase. Especially since up until that point she had been extremely dead set on wanting to be a guy.
DeleteI think hourou musuko was trying to show all the different possibilities and yoshino's progression made sense atleast to me.
DeleteOh, thanks for taking this on!
ReplyDeleteRe: Hourou, anon - given that only one character did that, I don't think it's fair to classify the manga that way. The handling of that character (trying not to spoil) was pretty even-handed and the way it ends isn't so explicit; they were still depicted as very upset and conflicted about it. That kind of 'compromise' is incredibly realistic - lots of trans people end up compromising like that for years, decades, or their entire lives.
Unique and interesting.
ReplyDeleteThis looks great, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chapter! I love it already!
ReplyDeleteHeh, the sister complains, but when somebody insults Kashiwa she jumps to the defense right away~ I understand that feeling, wanting to blow off steam about somebody, but not actually wanting to hear anybody badmouth them.
This looks quite interesting :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the new manga!
Thank you, this sounds like it is going to be an interesting story.
ReplyDeleteIf this series is serious rather than delicious trap fanservice, hopefully it treats it as a mental/hormonal problem like it is instead of the hilarious/bizarre "___ trapped in a ___'s body, also genital mutilation is normal" which for some reason people seem to think is normal.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to tell if you're an ignorant bigot or if you're just trying to be a troll.
DeleteOn a technicality he does have a point, 'transgenderism' is considered a clinical-psychological illness, yes at one point homosexuality was considered the same thing and it will probably change in the future as we become more liberal, but as of right now he is correct. Though I enjoy the fan service trap stuff, I do agree that the ones that take a more serious approach are far more enjoyable.
Deletech3 when?
ReplyDeleteLooks like wonderful fun! Thanks guys/gals!
