i feel like it's sort of a cop out for the dad to come around relatively easily just from the mum saying "look i read some books. lgbt is a real thing!" but i guess they want a happy ending and everything
It did feel somewhat overly convenient, but I think it makes some sense in the context of the setup: The dad only actually starts to listen when the mum weighs in and reveals that she has actually done some research on the topic, because from that point onwards he can't rationalize his behaviour with an "experienced adults telling clueless children how the real world works" framing anymore.

The author of Kakeochi Girl has started a new manga! My Sister's Friend. It is just as extremely lesbian as the last.

Considering how absolutely phenomenal Run Away With Me, Girl was, I am expecting a whole lot out of this. First chapter has a lot going on already. The last page hit me like a punch to the gut.

I think there are only 3 chapters of this, but reading the first chapter it looks really promising. I picked up the source. I adore Battan's work.

Latest Witch's Servant stirred up memories of not getting the presents I wanted when I was little because of gender.

I can't even express how much I love what Witch's Servant has become :3: It's not "just" a super queer fantasy slice-of-life anymore, it's now explicitly about overcoming oppressive societal structures by forming communities built around mutual acceptance and spaces by and for marginalized people. I mean, that's not even subtext by this point, the characters are just outright saying it.
And, to repeat myself, I will forever be amazed that this manga managed to turn King Bull into a compelling character while leaving his base personality intact. Though now I'm almost as amazed that it somehow used an out-of-nowhere allusion to Ireland's colonial past as a thematically important story beat.

:3: I'd say cute gay noises are the typical reaction to Witch's Servant.
Have you already read the prequel? It's a lot less overtly queer, but I think it's still a nice story with some very interesting worldbuilding and great comedic timing.

YT recs started getting good for once

After watching this for the 20th time I tracked down scans of the manga, there are some issues but for the early 80s its surprisingly solid so far. The most problematic elements aren't meanspirited they're played for comedy with the stuffy social conservative family members being the but of the jokes.

Think I recall watching a video essay on it and trans representation in manga awhile ago but don't recall much of what was said.
I guess it was this one since I liked it

so... guess that's it, huh? just... don't say i didn't warn you.
You know I thought it'd be bad but the fact that the only actual mention of her being trans is the line about others suspecting her of being transgender is, upsetting to say the least.

Final chapter of FukaBoku just dropped.

No sign of Kotone and Mei getting together and I am extremely disappointed. I demand a sequel.
