A review by juicelina
Wandering Son: Volume Two by Takako Shimura
3.0
I think the way the story moves is kind of messy and the characters all look very similar so it's hard to tell who is who. But, the story overall feels very realistic. The way the children act and feel seem irrational in a way only children present. It's pretty great how realistic and true the story feels.
The relationship with Yuki is a little strange, but I understand her purpose in the story. I love Shu a lot and I just want to give them a huge. Poor baby.
I also like that they included a little bit at the end to compare being trans in the west vs being trans in Japan. It even touched on the romanticism of lgbt people in some manga and how that can also be harmful. I feel like we tend to view things through our own lens of how things should be, so we tend to ignore/forget that other cultures deal with things differently.
