A W allyship sequence from <Boys run the riot> a fantastic manga with a trans man for a protagonist (not featured in the picture above). While primarily centered on issues of gender, the manga explores general themes of liberation from social oppression through the medium of fashion and art. It has standout art, themes, and character writing. It’s one of my favorite queer manga of all time. It really shows the value of queer characters beyond even the intrinsic value of representation. Specifically, it shows how queer characters can allow writers to tell new stories in new ways. There really isn’t a way you can tell this story without a trans protagonist, and it is absolutely a story worth telling.
