It covers her childhood, her transition, and her romance with a man who wants to marry her. This autobiographical manga follows the life of a woman who was assigned male at birth. Gee, I wonder what current political figures those characters are based on? The Bride Was a Boy by Chii

Brace yourselves for characters with names like Russian President Putinov and American President Billary Quintone. But rather than achieving world peace, all this does is cause world wars to be waged by martial arts melees instead. I hope you’re in the mood for a sci-fi political parody! In Golosseum, a mysterious substance renders people immune to all existing weapons.

So here are some upcoming manga releases to keep on your radar. And for me, nothing beats inhaling new manga while soaking up some rays. I don’t know about you, but I love reading in the sun. How Bina and Austin rise above their growing pains and reestablish their friendship and respect for their differences makes for a touching and funny coming-of-age story.Ĭan you believe it’s already May? We’re deep into spring, and it looks like winter has finally relinquished its chilly claws in the Northern hemisphere. But then Austin comes home from camp, and he’s acting even weirder than when he left. At first it’s a lot of guitar playing, boredom, and bad TV, but things look up when she finds an unlikely companion in Austin’s older sister, who enjoys music just as much as Bina. So it’s up to Bina to see how much fun she can have on her own.

She and her best friend, Austin, usually do everything together, but he’s off to soccer camp for a month, and he’s been acting kind of weird lately anyway. Thirteen-year-old Bina has a long summer ahead of her. Today’s Free Comic Book Day coverage is sponsored by All Summer Long by Hope Larson, published by First Second.
