a trans girl next door (manga)

静岡県沼津市に拠点を置く、書籍および視聴覚コンテンツの出版社です。「そこに、息吹が、あれば。」を合言葉に、きらりと光る本をつくっていきます。

I picked up a crowdfunding flyer for the movie at pride last weekend, so I had to check out the manga as well. It's four poignant short stories featuring trans girls at various stages of their transitions. The author is of course trans and the characters are spot on. The physical presentation of the book is very nice too, on thick paper with a pink, white and blue glitter on the cover.

Apparently the stories have been around on the net for a little while, so maybe there is an English translation out there somewhere?

Anyway, ¥1815 well spent. I recommend it if you read Japanese and can get hold of a copy.

I would love to find an English translation for this!
- Well the first three stories (in Japanese) are here:
  
  退廃的なとらんすちゃん
  
  弟はとらんすちゃん
  
  未来から来たとらんすちゃん
  
  I guess I can have a go at translating when I get a spare moment (assuming nobody else does).
  
  I found a translation of the third one: My Future Self Is Persuading Me To Become a Woman
  
  Thank you! I'll add it to Mihon right away :D
