If you hadn't heard, Tatsuki Fujimoto (author of Chainsaw Man, Fire Punch, Goodbye Eri, etc) got banned off Twitter for impersonating his imaginary little sister (long story).

After, setting up a new Twitter account, he sends out a bunch of tweets in an attempt to verify his identity as Tatsuki Fujimoto.

This one is the most fascinating to me.

If you didn't know 「おかえりアリス」 / Okaeri Alice / Welcome Back, Alice is a pyschological manga by Shūzō Oshimi - the same mangaka as Blood on the Tracks, Inside Mari, and The Flowers of Evil.

While Okaeri Alice might have a lot of funny moments and is primarily advertised as a "sex comedy", it is an incredibly fucked-up manga that explores gender, puberty, and identity.

The basic plot is that this boy named Yohei has a crush on his childhood friend named Mitani. However, Yohei's love is unrequited because Mitani has a crush on Yohei's male childhood friend Kei. Kei moves away during middle school, while Mitani and Yohei have ceased communication all together.

Shit gets real when they all reunite in high school. Kei comes back dressed looking like a woman - claiming to have given up manhood (while not wanting to be a woman). It is also discovered that Kei had a crush on Yohei - completing the love triangle.

The rest of manga is spent having Yohei getting sexually harassed by both of his childhood friends.

Kei's doing it because they like Yohei. Mitani's doing it to get back at Kei. And all the while, Yohei is suffering at the hands of his confusing male puberty.

If you know anything about Tatsuki Fujimoto, you know he loves getting dominated by girls - so this manga is right up his alley 🎳. Fujimoto is also no stranger to exploring gender in his own manga (for example, he wrote a trans male character in Fire Punch).

So yeah, this is the funniest manga this year- according to Tatsuki Fujimoto. I think this is a pretty good clue indicating that this is indeed Fujimoto's real twitter account.

So when are we getting an anime adaptation of Okaeri Alice

Gosh this story was so touching. After Okaeri Arisu I've became much more hesistant to Shuzo Oshimi, but I can't deny that Inside Mari touched something deep inside me. Rarely men mangakas manage to make such true portrail of sapphic relationships. I felt so seen by how those two akwardly grew closer together.

Not to mention how gut-punching and real was hatred the protagonist felt for themselves at the begining.

I love this manga.
