New Manga Read - I Wanna Be Your Girl (Volume 4 - Final Volume)

Wow. Finished I Wanna Be Your Girl this past weekend. It ended well, but I have feelings and thoughts.

First, for those who don't know, the basic premise begins as the story of longtime friends Hime and Akira. Akira came out to her best friend Hime as trans and decided in high school to live outwardly as a trans-girl. This follows the two of them in high school and how Hime handles realizing that she has a crush on Akira. That's where it starts.

The final volume deals with some aftermath of Volume 3, it deals with Hime finally grappling with her feelings and saying these things out loud, it deals with Akira really becoming more comfortable in herself, and does two sets of flash forwards that I think are well done overall. The first flash forward is to the group of friends graduating, the second is well into adulthood as they all come together for Yukka's marriage to her girlfriend.

New Manga Read - I Wanna Be Your Girl (Volume 3)

The last volume introduced us to a new character, Hiro. He's a teenage boy who cross-dresses at work in an attempt to help encourage his sister who was struggling with men sexualizing her at a very young age. Hiro and Hime begin talking more, getting closer, as the after effects of Hime and Akira's argument are noticed.

Again, this series tackles LGBTQ+ topics well.

Waiting to get Volume 4 from the library.

New Manga Read - I Wanna Be Your Girl (Volume 2)

This series is very good presenting sensitive topics about gender and sexuality of teenagers in a way that works in a cute, romance setting where a girl has a crush on her longtime best friend.

The second volume did a great job of helping Hime come more to grips with the idea that she's not heterosexual, which she was struggling with in Volume 1.

Now I wait for my library network to get a copy of Volume 3 for me to read!

New Manga Read - I Wanna Be Your Girl (Volume 1)

I Wanna Be Your Girl is the story of two teenage girls. One is cis-gender (Hime), and one has decided to be out as transgender (Akira) as she enter High School.

The primarily follows Hime as she tries to protect her friend facing transphobia. It also hits Hime facing her own feelings.

She has been in love with Akira for as long as she can remember. However, Akira is a girl. And she's grappling with what that means about her.

It's well done exploring these topics, so far. Checking out volume 2 if my library has it.
