Okay, listen. Hibari-kun isn't going to be the #transRepresentation you desire. It certainly wasn't for me. It will not be that. But there's something indelible about who she, Hibari, is as a person. She's confidant about who she is at every turn. She's stylish. She can handle herself and all the wacky hijinks just fine. Rather charmingly, she has a very real, consistent infatuation with Kohasku. This is a wildly transphobic manga, but I kind of recommend it to my fellow trans folk? Hibari is, despite the intense nature of this gag comic, someone who anyone would want to be. We aspire to being the weird,messy, stylish gremlin that she is. The romantic tension between her and Kohsaku is the cherry on top of all this.

I gave this manga a 4 initially, but it's stuck in my brain in a way that other manga simply aren't. Though, while reading this, I recommend occasionally checking in with people who love you, because WOW! Some of the jokes are so so mean.

Also the art is fantastic. That is all.
