Welcome Back, Alice · review
If you think this story is transphobic or BAD because it offends your sensibilities then you're ignorant. The characters and themes are all obviously aspects and ideas surrounding the author's own complicated relationship with gender, masculinity, femininity, love, and lust. It's painfully obvious...and also beautiful and eye-opening. Each of the 3 main characters represents a part of the author, or at least ideas the author feels represent aspects of society's understanding of gender and attraction. I can't stand identity-based cultural commentary, I feel that today it takes up too much space when there are more important things that need attention, this made me think that maybeit's got some stuff worth exploring.
Androgeny, traps, young love, and confusion. With a sorta Junji Ito Esque haunting art style that really extenuates what the authors attempting to convey.
Read it because it's trying to say something, or because you're horny and this sorta stuff works for you, either way, it's very good.
