X-Gender Vol. 1
Written and drawn by Asuka Miyazaki, the storyline of X-Gender volume 1 has a unique take as it discusses Asuka’s sexual awakening at the age of 33.
The summary of the manga reads, “Asuka is neither a woman nor a man—they’re X-gender (a non-binary identity)—and they’ve realized they like women! Okay, now what? Adult films are fun to watch, but real sex is less appealing. Would having a penis make that better or worse? Periods already suck, and sex means more fluids from more people! This autobiographical manga follows Asuka’s feelings about their body, their relationships, and the fun (and sometimes terrible) experience of having an awakening in their thirties.”
Release date: X-Gender volume 1 will be released on June 14th, 2022.
