   ~NOTABLE READ OF 2022~
(Note: rating reflects only this volume overall series improves and is closer to 4 stars) 
 

Last Gender by Taki Rei is a mature Japanese comic series set around a club catering to gender and sexual minorities that ran in Kodansha’s Evening magazine. Coming in at three volumes the first was collected in Japan in 2021. Announced earlier in 2022 for English from Kodansha USA this title was one of my most anticipated of the year.
