This month we'll be looking at some the ways that manga plays with flipping sexes and genders. Since March is also the time for the start of the new school year in Japan, this series seems doubly suitable to kick things off.
THIGH HIGH: REIWA HANAMARU ACADEMY (Reiwa Hanamaru Gakuen), by Kotobuki. First published in 2019 and first published in North America in 2021.
PLOT:
Hanamaru High School is a place where handsome young men can enjoy their free and youthful days. Alas, this is not the case for the uptight, prudish, and socially awkward class representative Kiritani. Thankfully his friend Harumi is there to help him get over his hang-ups and maybe even help out some of the other lovely boys with their own problems.
