I Wanna Be Your Girl Volume 1 Manga Review

Aug 12, 12:00 manga

This is a nuanced story that deftly explores what it means to become an ally while diving into the teenage trans experience. ― Over the years, I've seen imprints come and go—most often because they were founded on half-cocked ideas that just didn't have the opportunity to fully form.

This show left me with a certain type of anger. ― This show left me with a certain type of anger. At first, I thought that I was just having a knee-jerk reaction to the overall premise of the show. Incest is a relatively taboo subject, and anime is no stranger to utilizing it in a variety of different ways.
