Love Me For Who I Am

[ozaline]

Yesterday the Digital Version of the manga FukaBoku/Love Me for Who I Am, came out in English from Seven Seas entertainment. It's very good, I'm already deeply invested in this comic. The cover is a bit off putting to some people though so let's take a quick peak under it, because this book should not be overlooked.

The story begins with a boy seeing his male assigned female presenting classmate, Mogumo, writing a Tanabata wish for friends who understand them. He takes Mogumo to a crossdressing cafe run by his older sister, who is trans.

Mogumo is initially excited to meet people who they think are like them until they told of the cafe's ritual to identify themselves to the guests as a crossdressing boy (otokonoko), Mogumo is very uncomfortable with this, and tells them they're not a boy.

I've only got into this title, but from friends who have been following it for a while I know it gets quite a bit into LGBT culture, even has them visit Tokyo Pride. It's rare for a manga to get so into actual queer culture, so I'm excited to keep reading it.

Action Comics 1022 - In which a family reunion takes place... sort of

Something that's been at the back of people's minds since pre-Flashpoint Conner/Kon-El (as opposed to New 52 Kon-El, who we shall not speak of again) appeared in the pages of "Young Justice" is... When will he meet his family? His REAL family You know... the ones who live in Kansas?

The fact that Clark doesn't remember Kon doesn't help matters of course, and yet...

He-Man and the Masters of the MULTIverse #1: Master of the Universes

[superboyprime]

"They thought about doing another crossover like we did with Injustice vs. Masters of the Universe or doing another ongoing series, and then he stumbled on the idea of let's doing Into the Spider-Verse with He-Man characters because there's so many great iterations of this and they all have their own fanbases, they all have a very distinct flavor to them." - Tim Seeley

Kouga Yun – Birth of Evangelion – a Neon Genesis Evangelion Doujinshi

[leahandillyana]

Kouga Yun is an accomplished mangaka whose works are usually difficult to categorize. Her most famous works are “Earthian” and “Loveless”, she has also provided the character designs for “Gundam 00” anime and wrote a side story collection (gaiden) for the series. She continues creating doujinshi for works she particularly likes. Below is an excerpt (14 pages out of 51) from the Polish translation of her Kaworu/Shinji doujinshi courtesy of Alvis, with original English translation (which I unfortunately don’t have access to) by DokiDoki.

Maxwell's Demons #3 was a jump back.

[thanekos]

#2'd been a leap forward, to Maxwell Maas's future.

There, he was working to solve a problem.

Before that, in the past, he was a child living with his father.

" Max. You better get yourself ready. We're leaving in an hour. "

Max's response was insistent pedantry.

His dad's response to that was a fist.

Max picked himself up, listening to his dad's frustration.

" Somethin' - somethin' important - it's missing in you. You think you're better, but yer jus' a different kinda broke. "

( His dad insisted. )
