#デート相手がイケメン♀だった件

[hotwaterandmilk]

I recently read Mutsumi Natsuo's My Date is a Total Ike woman in English and it was such a great little short, highly recommended! You can purchase a copy here and support the artist.

Asahi is a lesbian sentai fan and Ushio is a pansexual enby who loves cute things. The pair match on a dating app and head to an amusement park for their first date where each learns to be both vulnerable and dashing in their own ways.

The English translation is very dynamic and feels quite fandom-informed, so it reads just as well as the Japanese version imho. The original appearance of Asahi and Ushio was via Twitter, but this collected edition includes some additional shorts and a bonus interview with the mangaka which really made me feel like I got bang for my buck.

If you're after a short story that turns the spotlight on cute butches for a change, then you'll definitely want to pick this one up. If you're not automatically sold on "this has cute butches" then I still encourage you to give this short a try for a fun little otaku love story at a decent price.
