Boy Meets Maria

Product Information

En este caso, la dualidad de género del protagonista está marcada por dos acontecimientos traumáticos y entiendo los comentarios de personas trans sobre que siempre se intenta justificar lo que no se comprende con algún "trauma del pasado". A mi modo de ver, este es el único punto "débil" de esta obra. A parte de eso, creo que refleja bien el proceso de aceptación de uno mismo del protagonista y sobre todo, cómo la gente que le rodea ve esta dualidad de género.

Boy Meets Maria’sextra chapter at the end also gives readers a look into Taiga and Arima’s first date and how the two are trying to do the most to be enough for each other before realizing they just need to be themselves. With this warmth, the manga ends with the promise of a lovely future for the teens and wraps up the story beautifully. For the purposes of review, I will be using he/him pronouns when discussing Arima because, at the novel’s end, he defines himself as Taiga’s boyfriend and is trying to understand and embrace his masculinity. I’m unsure if the choice of pronouns used in the manga was made by PEYO in the original Japanese or by the manga’s translator. That said, the bulk of Boy Meets Mariais focused on Arima trying to understand his gender identity, whether he is really the girl he’s always felt like or if he leaned on femininity because of his past trauma. Thankfully, PEYO clarifies—both through Taiga’s words to other students and the internal monologues that the two have—that gender isn’t as important as the person you feel for. You’re connected to who they are, not the gender they perform. Realmente hubiera deseado que esto hubiera seguido el hilo de los primeros capítulos. Siento que de haber sido una novela romántica sin todas las situaciones horribles que tuvo que pasar Arima, hubiese sido una historia maravillosa y PEYO hubiera podido expresar mejor lo que sea que haya querido decir respecto a los problemas de identidad de género. Claro, sin la horrible razón de que su madre lo obligara, que simplemente le guste la ropa de chica y ya. Porque tal cual lo puso parecía que solo era método de defensa contra los traumas de su niñez que solo le generaba más traumas e inquietud por su identidad.Al principio el protagonista me desesperaba, pero después con su desarrollo y trasfondo, todo fue para mejor. Arima, por otra parte, es fascinante, alguien a quien solo quería abrazar y consolar :') (suerte que eso lo hizo Taiga) . WARNING THERE IS AN ATTEMPT SEXUAL ASSAULT INVOLVING A CHILD IN THIS SO PLEASE READ AT YOUR OWN RISK**

Another thing I really liked is the conversation about Hirasawa's sexuality. He likes who he likes, and he doesn't feel the need to put a label on it. I think this is great for people still figuring out their sexuality. Just like who you like, and there is no pressure to put a label on it! The art isn't particularly phenomenal, but it is good enough to have lasting pleasant memories of, which is honestly something I didn't expect this manga would have. It's just… really clean and stylish enough to have its own personal identity attached to it. Nothing more, nothing less. I suppose on every odd occasion, the powerful scene has its artistic works elevated slightly, but that's usually just to bring out the most of what is currently visible. All in all, it's pretty good.Kosei Eguchi ( Japanese: 恵口 公生, Hepburn: Eguchi Kōsei, July, 29 1997 – August 19, 2020), also known as Peyo, was a Japanese manga artist. [1] He is best known for creating Boy meets Maria. Read this all in one sitting (it’s definitely not 1:30AM right now…) because it was simply too good to stop. The message is so touching; Arima’s story made my heart break, then melt by the end. I will say that I think not everything really felt resolved. Maybe that's because I didn't want it to end, but I think if it had a longer duration or another volume, it would really give more time to flesh out the character's development further and give a rather satisfying conclusion that didn't just leave abruptly. Though I suppose with Arima's character, it made sense that by the end we didn't really know their identity, but still I don't know. Bị ám ảnh tuổi nhỏ cấu xé, cùng định kiến giới tính quấn thân, Arima cứ lẩn quẩn tìm kiếm con người thật của mình. Chông chênh cô độc trên con đường mịt mùng đó, Arima chỉ còn biết mượn những buổi tập kịch một mình để mạnh mẽ. Es simplemente una maravilla. Esperaba una historia cuqui, pero he encontrado mucho más. La verdad, es que después de leerlo me he quedado algo tocada.
