翻了幾頁發現到有點眼熟的角色
才知道這與我所知的那部作品視同個作者
能看到前作(成人向同人本)的角色在本作活躍挺開心的

啊……其實我沒有很熟那部作品
看到這部台版的作者介紹寫「新人。這是他第一部作品。」時,內心也沒有反駁

期待男主角在下定決心後,與女角爭奪主角的修羅場

I like the subject matter, art, and overall plot, but I don't think I'm a big fan of the pacing. It went straight into action, very little exposition, and the plot moves very quickly.

Tetsu invites his non-binary classmate to come work in his family's maid cafe, which bills itself as a cross-dressing experience with wait staff who are gay, trans, and straight wearing maid costumes. What seems like a perfect fit quickly becomes an internecine battle about gender identity as the maids clash over the inclusivity of the language in the script they use to introduce themselves to customers.

The concept and cast are intriguing but I never quite synched up with presentation. First, the ages of all the characters are ambiguous, with some being obviously adult while others are drawn as if they were elementary school students and definitely still in some level of secondary education. That ambiguity becomes unsettling when realizing that the cafe they work -- and really, the manga itself -- is obviously intended to serve as a venue for people who sexually objectify or fetishize what they perceive as guys dressed as girls. It's not a strip club or burlesque show, but it is basically an equivalent to Hooters.

There's a homophobic slur uttered by a main character and the pronouns are all over the board with misgendering that is hard to tell is coming from the characters or the writer. The original Japanese writer in an afterword states that they were unaware of the concept of non-binary people until partway through developing this series and plugged it in after some internet research to solve some plotting problems they were having with the original pitch. That feels like a math teacher working out how to do algebra the night before class. At least Seven Seas has hired a non-binary writer for the adaptation of the English version, but that leaves me wondering how much spackle had to be layered over the original work to fill holes and cover jagged ends.

I'm just going to set this series aside.
… (mer)

Its great to see a manga that features a non-binary character among a cast of trans, cross-dressing, and cis individuals and tackles some of the questions and challenges that arise both within and outside the LGBTQ community.
