To Strip the Flesh | Oto Toda

2 posts | 2 read | 2 to read

Chiaki Ogawa has never doubted who he is, although the rest of the world hasn’t been as kind. Bound by his mother’s dying wish, Chiaki tries to be a good daughter to his ailing father. But when the burden becomes too great, Chiaki sets out to remake himself in his own image and discovers more than just personal freedom in his transition—he finds understanding from the people who matter most. -- VIZ Media

To Strip the Flesh | Oto Toda

so-so

This is hard to review. I was drawn to this for the title story, which deals with the MC, Chiaki, and his gender dysphoria and eventual transition as a trans man. The depiction of hunting/butchering and the metaphor of removing flesh was a bit intense (I was glad it was drawn in black and white). However, I can understand that some readers might relate to this aspect and connect with it more. ā¬‡ļø¸

psalva The relationship Chiaki has with his father was also handled in an interesting but also maybe problematic way. There‘s a certain ā€idealā€¯ of manliness hinted at here which I just couldn‘t relate to. As for the other stories, they were not very interesting to me. 2y

3 āThis is about a character who has known their entire life they are a boy. Mother has died, and their father cannot see the truth about his son. The story ties itself to hunting and how to strip the flesh off the hunted animals. It also relates to stripping the body of unwanted/necessary body parts. Overall, I liked what I‘ve read of this story, but there seems to be giant gaps and add-ons that don't match the story.
