Crossplay Love: Otaku x Punk Vol. 1: Otaku X Punk 1

Product Information

The story follows Yuuma Hanae and Shuumei Satogiri, two young men who fall in love with each other while cross-dressing, both believing the other to be a woman. Following this, both try to keep the other from learning the truth. The series was well received by readers and critics for its comedic and suspenseful writing, and was nominated for the 2019 Next Manga Award and the 2020 Denshi Comic Awards [ ja].

This is definitely much lighter fare, and pretty focused on the comedic aspect of this dynamic, but (so far) in a sweet and playful way. a b "女装してめんどくさい事になってるネクラとヤンキーの両片想い". MAGXIV (in Japanese).

Anziehend anders ist leichte Kost und kommt gerade Recht, wenn man einfach nur etwas entspanntes lesen möchte. The side characters are surprisingly strong, it’s an all male main cast, but everybody is full of secrets or a little more layered than you’d expect. Except that one guy they introduce at the end, who I didn’t especially like, but on the balance this is a good group. Media Arts Database (in Japanese). Agency for Cultural Affairs.

Right now, it's really enjoyable. There's no real explanation (yet?) of why Hanae chose to take a job crossdressing in a cafe, or if any of his coworkers know. His boss is a man, and the rest of his coworkers seem to be cis girls, so it's not a themed cafe in that way. Since he doesn't change at work, it seems like he might be keeping it a secret from everyone - but I'd think his boss would have to know his birth name etc for employment purposes. (This came up in Boys Run the Riot, Vol. 1, where the main character was trans and had struggled to find a workplace that'd accept him as a guy.)Mateo, Alex (2023-08-01).

Sort of. The strange and peculiar lives of this manga's characters converge in such a funny little way that what might otherwise be fertile ground for fetishistic humor instead gives way to deliberately awkward wholesomeness. A mild-mannered girl falls for a rough-around-the-edges girl? Maybe. Except the mild-mannered girl is a reclusive (male) otaku, and the rough-edges girl is (male) delinquent with a soft side. CROSSPLAY LOVE: OTAKU x PUNK v1 is a simple meet-cute via crossdressing. The convenience of its narrative artifice notwithstanding, the story might be cleverer than readers are readily aware.

[3] Production and release [ edit ] You can generally expect each situation for one character to have a parallel shortly afterwards, so both girls admit that they absolutely hate the type of person who their crush appears to be in the real world in separate chapters. One meets the other while the other isn’t in crossplay, that sort of thing.
