hate to burst some of your bubbles (not really) but this manga is legit about a trans woman and her troubles with love - it's marketed by the magazine/publisher as such: https://twitter.com/sylph_amw/status/850305680573583360

「体は男。だけど、女として愛されたい――」。粉子すわる×森橋ビンゴが贈る、トランスジェンダーの苦悩と恋を描いた『この恋に未来はない』。

"[Her] body is a man's. But, [she] wants to love as a woman--". From KOKO Suwaru and MORIHASHI Bingo, a transgender tale of anguish and love, "This Love Has No Future."

    shit it should be "[she] wants to /be/ loved as a woman" not "[she] wants to love as a woman"

    ....I guess they mean the same thing....or at least there's not that much of a difference...

    Aah, I thought so! It really gave off that feeling as well

    Oooh that's cool.

    Then it would be inaccurate to label it as "shounen ai" then, wouldn't it?

    well, its probs both. like, she probably wants to love and b loved back by the person she loves. (at least i would imagine so)

    yes!!! this manga is serialized in a shoujo magazine and is about a trans woman's story, it's only got the label on sites like this bc the mc hasn't begun any sort of transition yet, which is honestly absolute bull given how it's very apparent she very much wants to...lmao ppl can be in denial all they want but facts are facts and it's a fact that she's trans

    i agree. tbh part of the reason they tagged it as such is probably bc suwaru koko-sensei is famous for their bl and yaoi. i hope their r no misunderstandings
