Welcome Back, Alice, Vol. 1
by Shuzo Oshimi
3.5 stars
CW: Sexuality between high school students, Masterbation, Mis-gendering, Bullying
Okay, I am so torn with my review for this one. Oshimi is a manga-ka I really love, and I appreciate that they write such honest and dark topics. This one follows three students who were friends in middle school, and split up when they go to high school. Then, one of them comes back named Kei. And Kei has changed their appearance and says that they no longer are a boy.
I can't speak on the representation in this one, but it doesn't use a lot of the language that is typically in these kinds of stories. So, be aware of that. I feel like I need to read a couple more volumes before I can really give an honest opinion of the series, so I will continue it.
The mangaka also has an afterward where they discuss their own identity, so I'm curious to see where this one goes.
