Synopsis

From an outsider's perspective, what they are seeing is a normal meetup between three girls. However, these "girls" are meeting for the first time because of one commonality: they were born as males, but crossdress for various reasons.

Ryousuke "Yui" Kijima pretends to be his deceased older sister to keep her memory alive, Osamu "Parou" Tamura dresses as a girl to attract his straight senior in school, and Yuuta "Marika" Aoki is a transgender female. Despite their similarities, Yui hates how the other two are satisfied with their habits, and leaves quickly. Then alone, Parou expresses his support for Marika, causing her to fall in love with him.

Though their meeting was cut short, the lives of these three people begin to cross. As they grapple with their genders and identities, romantic feelings begin to foster, sharpening the divide between them, yet bring them closer at the same time.

Bokura no Hentai is perhaps one of the best trans-related works of fiction I've consumed. Stories about trans characters and crossdressers often feel rife with stereotype and one-dimensionality, but Bokura no Hentai has every character grippling with the trauma that led them to the places they are, with characters both giving into and moving on from their scars as the manga continues. There is no doubt that the manga is dark and not for everyone - but there is a comfort in being heard by the stories of the manga, and the arc of the trans woman character, Marika, provides a beacon of light in ...

It somewhat pains me to begin a review with this sentence, but as a transgender person, this manga reached out to me and touched my heart in a way I never could have expected.

This story could have easily fallen into the same trap (hehe) of just being another crossdressing fluff story, mere genre-candy without real substance, but instead we were presented with a deep dive into the lives and psyches of three vividly realistic characters, each full of flaws, desires, trauma, yearnings, contradictions of heart... This trio of acquaintances reminds me so much of all the people and stories of other people like me ... on I've met my own journey. All while still managing to serve up enough cute outfits and tender moments to make your heart flutter~

This has the potential to be a very emotional read; I cried, I yearned, I gave a thought to all the battered souls I've crossed paths with whom these three vividly brought back to mind, I laid in bed devouring chapters into the early hours, staring off into the night reflecting on my own journey of expression, wondering if I'd found the happy ending I so wished these characters to find...

If you're up to facing the sadness and shadows hanging over these characters' lives, and you're okay with discussions of abuse and sexual trauma, I absolutely recommend this. It's a story that'll stick with me for years to come, and I'd love for you to make friends with these three weirdos also.

All that said, you may be wondering if this is "for you", if you'll get anything out of it, maybe even if it's even alright for you to engage with. It's very important to note that this is NOT explicitly a transgender story, although it does closely follow a central character's desire to transition, alongside the other of the main trio's journeys. This is more accurately a story for anyone with a complex relationship to gender expression, whether you feel at home as you are, or you yearn for more. If you've ever spent time in crossdressing communities as I have, you'll especially recognize much of the attitudes and "types" here; you'll possibly even see yourself reflected back. If you've never engaged in any of that—maybe you're here to simply enjoy girly boys, nothing more—there's still plenty to enjoy here if a lil despair in your fantasies doesn't turn you away, and hey, maybe you'll learn something about yourself, or about others in your life.

At the bottom of it, this manga makes no statement as to whether it's "for" a certain person, nor pushes any judgment calls on who or what you are, what's okay for you to do or enjoy, nor does it even conclusively define its own characters much of the time; in fact, it takes a rather laissez-faire approach to gender that honestly feels refreshing, coming from a world with so much pressure to nail oneself down, to hurry up and decide if you're one thing or another... Albeit a nod to nonbinary identities would have been nice, more than anything this manga says it's okay to just go with your own flow, the specifics of what or why never really matter so long as you're true to yourself.

I will mention however, be aware that this story is very focused on amab experiences with femininity; there are a few afab side characters that are hinted as being on the cusp of discovering their masculinity, but those aspects of their stories tend to be left as food for thought and not much more, and aren't further explored past a point. This was probably done as a way to give a nod towards those readers coming to this story from the other direction while not distracting from the main thread too much, but I can imagine it'd be disappointing if one were hoping for more representation.

One final point, as to the rating... If I like this so much, why only an eight? Well, there *are* certain flaws here, and unfortunately they directly impact readability. The thread of what's happening can be very hard to follow sometimes; not that the plot is unduly complex, but rather it's written in such a way that I often had no idea who was saying what far too often, and too much time was spent fruitlessly rereading pages several times over and flipping back to the start of chapters to check if I'd even understood it right... While I fully admit some of these issues may have been due to the translation I read, there were enough issues and confusion caused by the dialogue layout and formatting itself that I can't solely lay blame there.

On top of that, the artstyle, which can be VERY kawaii at its best, can also be somewhat... vague? at its worst? There are just, too many side characters who don't stand apart from each other significantly enough to always be easily told apart from other characters, and while I've found that's not exactly an uncommon complaint when it comes to manga in general, I spent too much time awkwardly following along while unsure who certain characters were, or confusing them with others, especially given the story's tendency to "disappear" side characters only to suddenly bring them back after many chapters or even timeskips without properly reintroducing them... It just gets messy to follow, ahah.

But while that keeps me from rating it higher, it only mildy takes away from the experience, so if this sounds like your bag, don't let that scare you off :3

WARNING: English is not my primary language.

Less is more.

This is advice the author obviously did not follow.

This manga is a convolution of characters with a sad background. Even minor characters who have no impact on the story get an episode that reveals their entire backstory (which isn't much since they're not important). And that leads us to think: Well, obviously this should be useful later on, right? NO! It's completely useless to the story, it's just an attempt to draw tears.

But it does not matter. What matters is: does the author know how to develop these characters? NO! All character exploration is done through expository ... flashbacks or a monologue that manages to be even more expository than the flashback itself. But over time, these monologues are not only expository, but also redundant, condescending and unnecessarily complex. It may seem counterintuitive to be condescending one moment and unnecessarily complex the next, but trust me, the author has pulled it off.

Just when I think I understand the character's psyche, the monologue comes along and destroys my whole understanding of the character, but not in a good way, like you're subverting expectations, but confusing. They are confusing and pretensous. And it gets to a point where these monologues become melodramatic, which is quite an achievement considering one of the characters was raped. I found it easier to understand the characters by analyzing their actions than through these monologues.

And as if the characters weren't complex enough, there is a love conflict between 6 people(If you don't like the love triangle, you'll hate this one). In the end, one of these 6 gives an opportunity to another of the 6 after realizing that she will never be with the one she likes(one od the 6). and you might wonder: but does she like him? like friend? yes, but lover? very debatable. It's more like a consolation prize, which is pretty rotten and not in line with how the character was developed. And there is not a very strong reason for her to choose him, because if the reason is that he already likes her, there is this 4 character(one of the 6) who also likes her. It's really stupid, Jesus.

The romance at the beginning is interesting, but it never goes anywhere, even at the end of the work we don't know the conclusion of some relationships or if there is a chance of them happening.

And another frustrating thing is how the plot goes in a circle several times in the work. There are too many false conflicts and resolutions for my taste. One moment they make up and the next there's a time jump and it's all bad again. The author just didn't want to progress with the story, but just mumble the character mental state.

The art isn't good, most of the time it's just bland, but there are those rare moments when you can't tell which is which.

There are even more problems, like pacing and characters, but I find it difficult to talk about them without giving spoilers, but believe me, it's not that good.
