Two Different Viewpoints on Queer Life in Japan

I Want to be a Wall (Vol.1) by Honami Shirono

X-Gender (Vol.1) by Asuka Miyazaki

June 20, 2022 by GentleRain Leave a Comment

I’m very much enjoying the wider variety of manga that’s being translated now, especially the autobiographical and LGBT+ books. These two volumes are a combination of both and I enjoyed them for different reasons. I Want to be a Wall is about an asexual woman and a gay man getting married, seemingly due to societal or family pressures. No one knows that their marriage isn’t straight but them, and the book follows them settling into married life and getting to know each other more. Their […]

Tales of a Queer Cross Country Road Trip

Real Queer America by Samantha Allen

July 13, 2019 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

Review 1 for Bingo (Own Voices): Here’s the scenario for Real Queer America: A transgender reporter and a friend/scribe take a trip across the American Southwest, South, and the Midwest to document LGBTQ lives and history. Along the way, old friends are visited, new ones made, memories evaluated, and research is done. Two things surprised me about this book: first, how deeply researched it is (I will be looking up some of the historical and theoretical references cited), and second, how hopeful it is about […]

Tan Rocks!

Naturally Tan by Tan France

July 11, 2019 by Classic 2 Comments

So I have to admit something. Out of all of the Queer Eye guys, I love Tan the best. I just love his accent, his hair, and his delight he gets in clothes and helping others look their best and be comfortable with their bodies. I always hated clothes shopping with my mother because she loved to just plop me in anything that was pink with ruffles. I was her only girl and I got it, but good grief when I see pictures of me […]

“But I made the mistake of trusting that the belief in myself would forever protect me.”

August 11, 2018 by NTE Leave a Comment

I love comics; I’m heartily devoted to the MCU (and, to somewhat a lesser degree, the DCEU); I am all about the fanfic that springs up around all of my favorite mainstream comic characters, but I have a confession: I don’t actually usually enjoy reading comic books all that much.  I don’t know what it is about the medium – I know I’m a text over pictures kinda gal, but I love so much of the art of comic books, that I don’t think that’s […]
