[Manga] All Because of You
-
Alt titles: Zenbu Kimi no Sei, ぜんぶきみの性
Author: Asazuki Norito
Publisher: Kadokawa (Dengeki Comics NEXT)
Volumes: 7 (completed?)Synopsis: Ryou Saginomiya is an ordinary high school boy… up until one day, when he wakes up in a woman’s body. Ryou is one of the few people in Japan with Trans-Sexual Syndrome aka TSS, which causes his body to change sex whenever his heart throbs.
While walking home from school, Ryou discovers that his crush, Nagisa Mizukami, is working at a cosplay cafe called Mon Ange. Like Ryou, Nagisa has TSS too - as they had it from birth, they change gender more frequently than Ryou. As their lives start to grow closer, and after Ryou starts working at Mon Age, he finds even more facets about Nagisa…
Comments: Yeah, it’s another gender bending series. But bear with me here.
What makes this one different is that many gender bending stories use it as a metaphor for LGBT things, Zenbu explicitly puts it in the front lines. Nagisa is explicitly gender-fluid, so they feel they can’t get into relationships with others who expect only one cis person. Ryou has attraction for both sides of Nagisa, regardless of his current sex, and this ties into the time they spend together. Half of the folks to work at Mon Age are LGBT.
I dunno if more manga-original series are a priority, but given how Seven Seas has made bank catering to the LGBT community, why not see if JNC can get a slice of that pie too?
