Wandering Son

Very cute. At times I had to roll my eyes at the little stories he made up or the love triangle-y stuff, but then I stopped myself and reflected back onto my time in elementary school...similar things happened. I very much look forward to the next volume, and hopefully the return of Yuki-san :)

The art is simple. We'll see how the story is handled. Essentially, it's about a male-bodied fifth grader who is realizing they want to be a girl, and they're friend, a female-bodied child who wants to be a boy. The latter child takes their brother junior high uniform and travels to another area to see how they feel about being a boy. The story has potential, but it flows badly. If one isn't familiar with the manga format, it might be difficult to follow.

So sad! Everyone's fighting and no one wants to make up! Shu & Yoshi are trying to be what they think they're supposed to be and neither of them are happy. Gah!
