Shūzō Oshimi is such a talented manga artist and I love his work and how weird it is, but dude needs to like question his gender a lil. just a lil. There are so many afterwords where he’s like “I’ve always really wanted to be a girl like really really bad and I hate being a boy but it’s normal and I am so so cis trust me dude.” Like half his manga explore gender expression or identity.

#btw this isn’t me trying to assign a stranger as trans #and I know gender is different in japan than in the west #shuzo oshimi #shūzō oshimi #welcome back alice #inside mari #blood on the tracks #manga #manga artist #pink ink posting

long welcome back alice post below the cut

i just finished reading welcome back, alice today after starting it months ago and putting it off due to how uncomfortable it was to read. it's the first of shuzo oshimi's works that i've read and i really like it! it's the most unique and interesting perspective on gender and sex that i've read so far. i think it was both something that i could really understand and relate to, yet also difficult and confusing to grasp because i couldn't fully connect with oshimi's perspective. overall it was a really interesting read and i'd like to read more of oshimi's work!

as usual, of course, after finishing reading i went to the welcome back alice tag to read other people's thoughts. i thought it was unfortunate that some people think that oshimi's portrayals of the character's struggles with gender and sex were too problematic and inaccurate to the transgender experience because that's kind of the point! they're all messy and imperfect and a main part of their struggle is not wanting to be trapped inside their identities. looking at art through a lens of "is this problematic?" is a very reductive point of view because people, by their very nature, are problematic, and it's more harmful to portray characters' experiences with gender as sanitizied and comfortable for the viewer.

also, side note, isn't it really disrespectful to call people eggs? (in reference to people saying it about oshimi.) he's clearly someone who has spent a lot of time thinking about his gender, and he's a grown adult, i think he can make his own determinations about his identity... also the whole concept of "waiting for an egg to crack" is ???? to me because doesn't assuming the gender of someone you hardly know sound incredibly familiar??? i hate that

i've really rambled a lot here but i needed to write about this... sorry mutuals

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
