I've got my paws on "Stop! Hibari-kun!!" - a queer (or, rather, trans?) rom-com manga written for normies, back from 1981. The manga is really, truly problematic in many ways. But it also shows me that despite right-wing folks crying "oh no! but the pro-LGBT agenda!" for years, LGBT folks in 2026 are still facing generally the same class of problems are LGBT folks did in 1981.

Some things got a bit better, sure, but the stuff (violently) depicted in this comedy book still happens today even in the most progressive countries.

Somewhat off-topic: Hibari is very pretty, and has a good style. I should learn a few things from her.

Also: I should read more LGBTQ stuff. Ideally LGBTQ stuff made by LGBTQ creators.
