Are there any good manga that deal with being lesbian, bi, or trans with that kind of heavier, psychological treatment? I feel like most of the gay psychological dramas I've read are mostly about gay guys, like this one and Shimanami Tasogare. Trans ones I can think of off the top of my head are bokura no hentai and that one seifuku one about the three hot mess characters and their awful relationships

Sometimes I just want vicarious catharsis through anime suffering

I forget the name offhand but there's the one about the crossdressing cafe, somewhat? Someone here definitely knows what I mean.

They're asking for something a lot heavier than even the heavier chapters of Love Me, is the thing. Like it gets into the psychology of things and characters have stuff to unpack but the gay dude manga they're asking for things similar to but about lesbians had a suicide attempt, a guy with a lover who was like three times his age, and a scene where the MC yells at his mother that he hates her for giving birth to him.

I remember asking about that awhile back and people not really having much in the way of yuri, that seems to be more yaoi territory for whatever reason.

People did have a few yaoi recs though.

I won't disagree, but I don't like it. The ears are just too fuckin weird.

I was kinda eh on the story otherwise anyways. I'm glad it exists and would like if more stuff like it came out, though.

e: I think I'd like the story if it was a bit more grounded. I don't need stories to be 100% realistic or anything but it just didn't grab me for reasons I can't quite articulate.

maybe there are really good scenes too but when I think of the art I think of stuff like this which is just... not good?



DisDisDis posted:

personally i really hated how the part with the lesbian's ex went

i weirdly kinda grew up with this manga due to how long it took to release so i cant give a v useful summary beyond 'i like it'

how far in was that, or for that matter is it still ongoing? I only read like 6 chapters.

I think the reason I don't like it is I don't find the protagonists interesting or sympathetic, and also kinda dim. I like the premise but since I don't like the characters I don't find it engaging.

I know a big part of it is the weird abusive sorta co-dependent relationship the two have going on, but it seemed like it would've been more in character for the one woman to just let the other one take the rap for everything and move on, idk.

I feel bad for them both.

It's easy to see Sakura as just being an insensitive jerk or whatever, but considering how old she is and how she saw her parents reacting it's not a surprise she has no idea how to properly deal with her emotions and is just confused and hurt by it all.


Though more on Mogu specifically it's been so long I forget; What happened to their friend? I thought she was getting along with Mei or something last we saw.

It's when you feel actually happy about your gender presentation or the way people are interacting with you in a gendered way or your performance of gender & how it's perceived in general, as opposed to just kind of tolerating it or feeling dysphoria

I don't play FF14 because I want stuff like iframes and perfect attacks in games, so I play pso2 instead, that's close enough. And it's my own personal dysphoria assuager, so that's relevant enough, right?

My MCast and FCast:




Making cute guys in this game is extremely hard but I feel extremely satisfied when I manage to actually do it. Lets me get the happiness of doing and wearing things I could never get away with in reality by virtue of having poo poo like broad shoulders that will never be able to make any form-accentuating outfit look good.

I keep meaning to play pso2 but it just won't be the same as PSO1.

I love the aesthetics of the androids and weapons in those games, though.

I agree with galaxy brain bird, being attracted to who you are attracted to is a good way to live life.

Endorph posted:

its a sweet sentiment but 'attracted to both sexes by nature, most just havent accepted that' is, uhhh

i get what they mean from one direction but if you flip it to think about gay people its a little rough

I mean you COULD read that into it, but taking into account everything he's saying I don't think that's what he's saying.

I know a gay guy who had a real breakdown because he was attracted to a girl, and I bet most people here can think of a time a straight person they know got nervous because they found someone of the same gender attractive.

The point isn't "you're not REALLY gay" or that you need to give every man/woman a chance, it's that if you find you DO end up being attracted to someone of a gender you aren't usually attracted to it's fine! It doesn't make you weird or a fake or anything, don't lose sleep over it (or any more than you would over any other crush).

Hell I'm normally attracted to women and I'm dating a guy simply because I was attracted to him as a person enough that gender wasn't important. :shrug:

Yeah. I need to re read it because im a bit confused as to who the antagonists are or if they were ever foreshadowed.

They basically weren't at all, they're both basically foils. Maggie, the human, is like Reina with no friends so she just hates people and likes robots more. Meg, the gynoid is... Basically the same for Anna.

I liked the general setting and characters alright but yeah, didn't really have time to reach it's potential. Probably should've focused more on the character drama between the four protagonists or the antagonist instead of trying to split it.

You'll never convince me Hiura's not a trans girl who's laboriously hatching her egg.

Was it this thread or another one that established egg is kind of a bad term?

Anyways, there are male-identifying people who do like to dress up very cutely. I don't know how Hiura identifies, but I am glad they are expressing themselves in a way they enjoy.

While it's totally within your right to enjoy any number of manga about a wide variety of non-consensual acts, I don't think making a sarcastic remark about dropping them unmarked in a thread that isn't specifically about those kinds of fetish subjects is out of line.

Maybe it makes me a tiresome killjoy but she's pleading someone who's forcibly stripping her to stop, would it kill you to at least mention that's the kind of thing it is since the tags on dynasty don't?
