arwainian 's review for:

At 30, I Realized I Had No Gender: Life Lessons from a 50-Year-Old After Two Decades of Self-Discovery by Shou Arai

---

a really interesting glimpse into the life of a middle aged queer person in Japan, specifically an intersex nonbinary man living with a younger gay cis male partner. it was also a bit of a strange one to read, bc it seems like Arai has been doing auto-bio comics for ages as well as queer/trans-life-advice comics, and this collects a bunch from a certain time period without much of a narrative link between them. Maybe i'll check out Arai's other work, but yeah. while it's always cool to read slice of life trans auto-bio stuff, i did feel like every chapter was a "i guess we're doing this now" one after another after another
