Reasons you might like The Bride was a Boy...

ShazzeaS ShazzeaS says...

Both of these series are informative autobiographies about trans women with some really charming leads. The difference between the two is that The Bride was a Boy focuses on the author's life in general while Umareru Seibetsu wo Machigaeta, for the most part, is about the author's sex reassignment surgery and it's written in a lot of detail. Both manga are really good reads if you want to know more about transgender issues but I would say that The Bride was a Boy is a better introduction for someone who knows nothing about transgender people.

Until I Love Myself: The Journey of a Nonbinary Manga Artist

Nonbinary manga artist Poppy Pesuyama is excited when forms offer the option to choose “neither” for gender and thrilled about their new job working as an assistant for mangaka X! But then he sexually harasses them, treating them first like a girl and then like something less than human. It only lasts a few months, but in some ways it never ends. Born into a body they hate and still reeling from the abuse they faced seven years ago, Pesuyama begins to rail at their past, their friends, and even their mother as they try to come to terms with who they are and what happened to them.
