Sinossi
Claudine De Montesse, rampolla di una ricca famiglia nella Francia dei primi del '900, è una persona bella e affascinante, ammirata e forse perfino invidiata dagli altri. Solo, sebbene sia riconosciuta da tutti come una donna, si sente nel petto il cuore di un uomo. Uno scollamento inaccettabile in una società incapace di comprenderlo, e le cui conseguenze renderanno sempre più amaro il viaggio di Claude verso le uniche mete che desidera davvero: sentirsi se stesso e trovare il vero amore. Un racconto struggente e attualissimo dal talento assoluto di Riyoko Ikeda (Le rose di Versailles).

Ooo this one is tough. There are a lot of content warnings for this including: dead naming, misgendering, affairs, suicide. The most important thing to take into consideration when reading this is the original publication date which was in the 1970s. Although there are many parts of this that wouldn’ Leggi tutto
As someone who has grown up worshipping Riyoko Ikeda's work for The Rose of Versailles finally being able to read her Claudine has been an enormous joy. Despite the issues of misgendering and a generalised old sensitivity to questions of gender, the story is beautiful and heartbreaking and confir
This 2018 English translation of Riyoko Ikeda's 1978 shōjo manga about the brief life and tragic loves of the eponymous protagonist is being hailed, to quote Wikipedia , as "one of the earliest manga to feature a transgender protagonist." While I'm sure this is literally true, it might be a bit misle Leggi tutto
A fantastic read, maybe some of it doesn't hold up to how we discuss sexuality today, but for a manga about a trans-man written in the 70's it is light years ahead of it's time. It is also VERY of it's time, everything is laid out, there's hardly any subtext, and the "shojo flowers"... boy howdy are Leggi tutto
Beautiful art in Ikeda’s signature style, with a bit of a twist as the gilt of Versailles falls away in favor of something more intimate and provincial. Unfortunately, as with most manga, the pacing is breakneck and undermines the weight of Claudine’s life. We are thrown so quickly from one affair t Leggi tutto
3.5 when I picked this up I was worried about potential lesbophobia as well as a poorly-handled trans MC, both of which were (mostly) unfounded fears. this manga, originally written in the 1970s, follows the story of Claudine, a "man cursed with a woman's body". it's an epistolary work, written by Cl Leggi tutto
CW: Transphobia, Deadnaming, Misgendering, Suicide, Murder, Death of a Parent, Incest This story was a lot. We follow a trans man who people call by his deadname (or what would be his deadname) "Claudine", as he navigates his identity and the women that he falls in love with. I know this is a product Leggi tutto
