Blog Post - Wandering Son ᯓᡣ𐭩‧₊˚ ⊹

See, now this is proper LGBTQ+ representation compared to what was shown in Genshiken and Shin Sekai Yori (you wouldn't have even known Shin Sekai Yori discussed that topic without looking into its other episodes, but it wasn't that much better lol). Wandering Son follows Shuichi Nitori and Yoshino Takatsuki as their journies overlap while trying to figure out their dysphoria and gender identities. Shuichi yearns to be a girl and inspired by Shuchi's courage, Yoshino desires to be a boy. Simultaneously, the pair has to balance the shenanigans of middle school and their fear of social isolation due to their new identities. As Yoshino puts it, "It's just the difference between wanting to wear boy's clothes and wanting to wear girls' clothes. Even so, it's harder than you'd think." Although Shuichi and Yoshino are not specifically said to be transgender in the anime, they are either heavily implied to be or enjoy partaking in cross-dressing. And for whatever interpretation the viewer has, Wandering Son is a well-handled representation of transgender, gender-fluid, and non-binary communities. Especially in a Japanese school setting, which is somewhat unheard of in real life.

Another thing I wanted to discuss was the author of Wandering Son, Takako Shimura. Although there is no record of anything she identifies by (and it's also not any of my business) she is one of many great female mangaka who can create good LGBTQ+ media without going down a fetish-y, fujoshi route like seen in Genshiken. Not all (assumably) heterosexual cis-women are completely incapable of writing great stories with great representation, and I believe those authors, along with LGBTQ+ authors, are the ones who should be put into the limelight instead of the questionable BL content. Simple, down-to-earth stories like Wandering Son could truly be just what someone needs to begin their journey of self-discovery, and I think that's very special.

Wandering Son by Shimura Takako

goodreads

The fifth grade. The threshold to puberty, and the beginning of the end of childhood innocence. Shuichi Nitori and his new friend Yoshino Takatsuki have happy homes, loving families, and are well-liked by their classmates. But they share a secret that further complicates a time of life that is awkward for anyone: Shuichi is a boy who wants to be a girl, and Yoshino is a girl who wants to be a boy. Written and drawn by one of today's most critically acclaimed creators of manga, Shimura portrays Shuishi and Yoshino's very private journey with affection, sensitivity, gentle humor, and unmistakable flair and grace. Book One introduces our two protagonists and the friends and family whose lives intersect with their own. Yoshino is rudely reminded of her sex by immature boys whose budding interest in girls takes clumsily cruel forms. Shuichi's secret is discovered by Saori, a perceptive and eccentric classmate. And it is Saori who suggests that the fifth graders put on a production of The Rose of Versailles for the farewell ceremony for the sixth graders, with boys playing the roles of women, and girls playing the roles of men.

Mod opinion: I haven't read this manga yet, but it sounds interesting and I'm hoping to get around to it at some point.

Wandering Son - 2002

Where do i start?

Takako Shimura’s 'Wandering Son' is beautiful manga that tackles growing up as a trans kid. The story follows Shuichi Nitori as he goes through life and experiences various feeling of gender dysphoria. As someone who is somewhat transgender, this manga hit incredibly close to home, and if you are trans yourself i cannot recommend this manga more. I'll nudge you to check the manga out before reading this review, as it will have some spoilers. You can read it free on mangadex.

Now, without further adieu, let’s get into what makes this manga so good.

First, I want to compliment Takako Shimura’s artstyle. Scenes often have no background, and if they do, it’s very simplistic. This places more focus on the characters, which of course are the main driving force of manga such as this. I also love the watercolor covers for each volume; their design expands on the cozy vibe of the manga.

Speaking of the vibe, 'Wandering Son' beautifully depicts how it feels to be a young trans person. Although it may be a bit rose-tinted, it’s still outstanding for being written by a cis woman. Shuichi is often depicted pondering his gender identity at night and we see him become slowly more dysphoric as he matures.

Of course Shuichi is not the only lead. Yoshino Takatsuki takes the role of a deuteragonist early on, and is unfortunately slightly phased out of the spotlight later on. She is the transmasc to Shuichi’s transfem, but unlike Shuichi, she doesn't remain trans for the entire story. This kind of feels like a copout, because she outwardly presents masculine for years and even wishes she had a penis at one point, but I'm not going to pretend like that never happens to people. Gender identity can shift over time and it’s important to have a depction of that.

Now, despite the praise I've given this manga, it definitely has flaws.

In chapter 12, Takatsuki gets sexually assaulted by an adult, which is very out of place and sudden in a manga like this. This never gets adressed again and the character who assaulted her never has any consequences.

Shuichi’s partner, Anna, ends up very underutilized in the grand scheme of things, which is sad, as i think her character is one of the most interesting ones in the manga. Despite that, her indifference to Shuichi’s transness is what leads to one of the most impactful panels (at least to me) in the last chapter.

This panel hits you like a brick by the end. The last chapter focuses on Shuichi detailing his experience throughout the manga through his eyes. We are shown the good and bad, everything that has happened to him so far. And right at the end, we see him finally come out as transgender to Anna. Her reaction is of pure acceptance, all she asks him is “Does that mean I'll be a lesbian?” showing that no matter what, she still loves him.

'Wandering Son' has become one of my all-time favourite manga since i’ve read it and it’s a huge shame that Takako Shimura’s work is severely underrated. Regardless of it’s flaws, i think it’s one of the best manga depictions of transgender themes i’ve read. If you still haven’t read it (despite my suggestion in the opening) i genuinely think you should at least give it a try.

And with that, my first review comes to a close. Hope you liked reading it! The next one will be up at some point, i’m planning on doing one of evangelion but if you have suggestions, submit them! I'll at least try to look over any suggestions.

Wandering Son, An Image of Struggling Gender Expression

Wandering Son dove quite deep into the complexities and nuances of gender identity with particular regard to transgender individuals. I found this watch quite enriching and allowed me to truly peer into the lives and internal struggles that these characters, and by extension, similar individuals, feel among a binary society. Episode 1 introduces us to two middle schoolers who struggle with their gender identities, Shuichi Nitori and Yoshino Takstsuki. Shuichi identifies as female, and Yoshino identifies as male, each assigned their respective opposite sexes at birth.

In Episode 1, we are introduced to the quiet and lonely tribulations that Shuichi faces, which do a great job at portraying the pressures faced by transgender individuals. In a Japan-wide context, this episode portrays the silent judgement from the self as well as external society. The scene where she tries her sister’s dress on and examines herself in the mirror was particularly impactful in this regard, and introduces the humanity behind the traditionally unacceptable choices they make.

One among other personal obstacles and tribulations that are explored in Shuchi’s life occurs when her body reaches puberty, and her voice and body begin to change, essentially in an act of defiance by her body. In Episodes 7 and 9 we begin to see the intertwining of puberty and society manifesting through bullying and ostracization at school. Bullying is something that is not unique to any particular society, though we see a unique manifestation in Japanese and American culture due to its taboo nature. We see Shuchi and Yoshino experience mirrored manifestations of societal outcasting as they struggle through their iterations of puberty and young adulthood. 

While my story was quite different from that of a gender struggle, I found a large portion Wandering Son to call back to my youth, and my struggles to fit within society in a judgemental and condemning peer group, being torn apart for things about myself that I could not change. All in all, I found Wandering Son to be an interesting story that allows us to relate more closely with the struggles of those who are impacted by gender expectations on a gender they do not identify with.

Wondering Son and Transgenderism

Hello all! I finished yet another anime series that I was assigned. This anime, Wandering Son, was a very heartfelt series that nearly made me cry due to how the themes of the show reflect that of real-world issues people have to endure. Here is my analysis of the anime:

 Wandering Son (Hourou Musuko) is an anime that explores the complexities of gender identity and adolescence. Following the lives of Shuichi Nitori and Yoshino Takatsuki, two middle school students grappling with their gender identities, the series delicately addresses issues that are both specific to Japan and universally relevant.

In Japan, where societal norms are often rigid, Wandering Son provides a rare and sensitive portrayal of transgender experiences. The characters must go through the challenges of expressing their true selves in an environment that can be unaccepting and harsh. This depiction reflects the broader societal issues of acceptance and understanding of gender diversity, which are still evolving globally. The struggles of Shuichi and Yoshino resonate with anyone who has ever felt out of place or misunderstood due to their gender identity.

Globally, Wandering Son's themes of self-discovery, acceptance, and the courage to be oneself are universally relevant. The show challenges viewers to reflect on their perceptions of gender and encourages empathy towards those who are different. By focusing on the internal experiences of its characters, the series highlights the emotional depth and humanity of transgender individuals, fostering a deeper understanding and acceptance.

In connection to assigned readings and viewings, Wandering Son aligns with themes of identity and societal norms explored in works like "Psycho-Pass." Both series challenge rigid societal structures and emphasize the importance of understanding and accepting one's true self. The portrayal of the characters' journeys in Wandering Son offers a nuanced perspective on the complexities of gender identity, much like the broader questions of identity and conformity in "Psycho-Pass."

In conclusion, Wandering Son is a very well crafted series that offers a tender and insightful look into the lives of transgender youth. Its exploration of gender identity, self-acceptance, and societal norms provides a meaningful and relatable narrative that resonates with viewers worldwide.

Wandering Son

This anime depicts a male child named Shuichi Nitori who wants to be a girl, and Shuichi's friend Yoshino Takatsuki, a female child who wants to be a boy. The anime follows these two characters as they enter their first year of junior high school while dealing with their internal struggles with their gender identity.

I want to talk about opening up about their gender identity crisis. Shuichi and Yoshino tell their family about how they feel about their gender. Yoshino deals with her own set of family expectations, while Shuichi struggles with his family over his wish to dress and act like a girl. Their difficulties serve as a reminder of the difficulties in gaining family acceptance and the influence of cultural standards on personal identity. In Japan, where social status and family reputation are highly valued, the difficulties portrayed in "Wandering Son" are representative of broader cultural views on gender nonconformity. Globally, this situation resonates with anyone who has experienced familial or societal pressure to conform to traditional roles.

I can relate to the feeling of pressure to fit your family's expectations of you. Ever since I was a young, I was restricted from doing certain things because "it was for boys". I've seen this same scenario flipped when my little cousins were growing up. I had to play with dolls, and do girly things in order to match my family's expectations. As I got older, I started getting talks about how I should adapt to traditional feminine roles (housewife things). I didn't listen to them because I wanted to make something of myself. I don't want to rely on a man to support myself. I have many aspirations in life, one being a doctor, so adopting those traditional roles wouldn't fit in with my dreams.

I don't know if it's just me, but I kept getting confused on who is who (during the first two episodes). When Shuichi and Yoshino would be in their original form and then swap genders I would get confused. After getting to know their homes and the people they hang out with, I began to distinguish between the two. This show is very interesting, even though I was a little lost at first. I'm sure things would've made more sense if there wasn't a gap in the episodes. I've never seen an anime that touched on this kind of topic, so it's very refreshing.
