To Strip the Flesh - Chapter 1

To Strip the Flesh - Chapter 1 : Chiaki Ogawa has never doubted who he is, although the rest of the world hasn’t been as kind. Bound by his mother’s dying wish, Chiaki tries to be a good daughter to his ailing father. But when the burden becomes too great, Chiaki sets out to remake himself in his own image and discovers more than just personal freedom in his transition—he finds understanding from the people who matter most.

The manga is called “to strip the flesh” and I think it’s good trans man rep. The first two chapters are about the trans man, the rest are unrelated short stories.

It’s rare to find rep (let alone good rep) about trans men that actually captures a lot of the experience that we go through. Thought y’all would like to read it.

About the link: I encourage you to buy from the author but if you are broke like I am this is a good alternative. I recommend the use of adblock before opening it.

    Nice req, I’ll check it out!

    I’ve also read and enjoyed Boys Run the Riot Although, I found it too short, sadly. The mangaka is a transman, as well.

    Edit: just now noticed how old your post is, sorry!

        Yeah, the arc was good in yours, but I kind of want more. For sure, I was super excited when I found BRtR in my library, I think it’s the first time I’ve seen a trans man in any manga.

        Haha, alright, I’ll keep that in mind! Just not used to the slower places yet.
