I was looking for cute queer slice of life show and someone suggested Onimai. I don't know if there are actually any LGBTQ characters but as a trans woman who didn't come out until her 30s, the idea of getting to start my life over as a woman is the ultimate dream. Plus, what I've seen of the animation looks gorgeous and super adorable. So I was disappointed to learn that she show has a reputation for being really creepy and has tons of fan service. I tend to feel any fan service is a lot of fan service so I was hoping to find out if anyone had seen it and if so, how bad and prevalent is the fan service, and is the show actually creepy?

yes.

>is the show actually creepy?

This one is entirely in the eye of the beholder, I think.

There are plenty of people who think that the show is a spiritually beautiful, uplifting celebration of life and a powerful message to male Otaku about how the female life experience is both different yet not so different from the male one, and about developing empathy for that experience.

There are plenty of people who think it's borderline pedophilic pornography (although these people haven't watched that much of the whole series).

>how bad and prevalent is the fan service

Mostly just big, bouncing boobs sort of stuff but in a very soft and gentle palette and moe artstyle that causes it to raise flags for some people.

There are a few scenes relating to peeing and wetting oneself, but at least two of these are critically integrated into the plot and the themes. To expand on that, many ecchi anime/manga often use female incontinence as pseudo-sexual sort of thing, and the act of wetting often connected to being an orgasmic sort of thing. OniMai sets up this situation and then baits-and-switches, cutting from actual act of self-wetting to turn it into a moment of supportive bonding.

>as a trans woman who didn't come out until her 30s, the idea of getting to start my life over as a woman is the ultimate dream

In many ways, the OniMai anime is about gender fluidity, which means it may not mesh very well with your own experiences. It's not about Mahiro developing an identity as a girl, but instead he is fairly explicit about maintain his identity as a boy (in a girl's body), it's just he increasingly enjoys many aspects of what being a girl entails, as well as discovering some of the biological experiences.

That might well be quite unrelatable in some ways, although it obviously very much depends on your own personal experience of those issues.

That said, it is very much a celebration of those things, and all about rediscovering joy that's been lost and repressed and it may be immensely relatable and emotionally moving if that's what you connect with.

@TranstoyerCarbine as someone who has read the manga, is this true?

Its not a show that represents transgender experience. Its an indulgent fantasy that happens to use a gender switch.

Only days after writing a blog post on the matter and subsequently wiping her social media history in a seeming breakdown, Sexy Tanaka-san mangaka Hinako Ashihara was found dead by suspected suicide at the Nikko Kawaji Dam in Tochigi Prefecture. She was 50.

According to police sources, she was filed as ‘Missing' on January 28th, with her body being found today on the 29th, with what is suspected to be a suicide note also found. Police are still investigating the case.

Ashihara suffered a great deal during the production of the live-action drama series adaptation of her hit manga Sexy Tanaka-san, trying to wrest back her plot and characters from the massively altered version produced by the production committee at Nippon TV. Despite adaptation faithfulness being one of her conditions for giving the green light, she relayed to the scriptwriter via the producers (her only point of contact) the changes she wanted to be made to the adaptation, only to find them rebuffed and unchanged.

Ashihara was then hit by complaints about the shoddy adaptation, not helped by the series scriptwriter Tomoko Aizawa, who pointed out that Ashihara wrote the script for the final two episodes. After detailing everything in her blog post as an explanation, social media users used it as fuel to add to the fire and attack other members of the production, seemingly leading Ashihara to wipe her Twitter and blog, with her now-final Tweet posted on the 28th saying: “I didn't mean it as an attack. I'm sorry.”

Nippon TV commented on the mangaka's death via their online news outlet, saying:

We would like to express our deep sadness and regret at receiving the news of Hinako Ashihara's passing. The adaptation of the October 2023 Sunday drama ‘Sexy Tanaka-san' was proposed by Nippon TV, and through Shogakukan management we discussed and took Ashihara-san's opinions on the scriptwriting into account, leading to the approval and green light for the script and the broadcast. We thank Ashihara-san for giving her best in the production of the show.

As expected, the topic of the mangaka's death and Nippon TV's response immediately caught fire and continues to burn others in its heat, with Aizawa privating her Instagram account. Other mangaka have spoken out about her death, with Nodame Cantabile mangaka Tomoko Ninomiya saying, “This hurts… This hurts too much.”, while mangaka-turned-politician Ken Akamatsu said, “This is something that should never have happened”, though he warned not to let this matter turn into a hate train aimed towards Aizawa.

Apart from Sexy Tanaka-san, Ashihara was known for Sand Chronicles, which also received a successful live-action adaptation by TBS.

2nd ranked show is p-do anime

!anime discuss

The manga started in 1989 and was inspired the Iron Male feminist Tyson who in 1987 won world championship and became gen x fav boxer. So the main protagonist was a micro jap Tyson who like try Japanese man is a cuck I mean shy. The manga was supposed also progressing real time and showing boxers life. So in 1995 irl the in the manga it was 1990 because it was progressing very slowly and now in the mange it's 1995 but for some reason they have double camera phones that were introduced in 2017 irl. The author started the manga when he was 24 and he is now 59 and apparently it's halfway it's legit so brutal that many manga artist are so lazy that they don't want to progress their story that now many mangas end up without conclusive like last 10 volumes were about useless sparing that bring 0 value to the story. Then they call manga art
