Diary Comic X: Takarazuka

Another of my diary comics, which I will eventually collect in a book as I make more. A few that I decide to share, I will post online. Others, like comics number V, VI, and IX will be book exclusive.

This comic is about Takarazuka Kagekidan and being queer . In the English fan spaces, I’ve noticed one tends to hear about how Takarazuka helped some people to realize they were girls who liked other girls. My queerazuka experience was…a tad different.

These comics will be based on experiences and thoughts I’ve had regarding life, and its many struggles, including those of gender, sex, mental illness, and everything in between. I am hard on myself both as a protective measure (life can’t hurt you if you beat it to the punch) and as a result of my mental issues. As a result, the language is and often will be blunt, aggressive, shocking, and sometimes painful; similarly, my humor is often dry, self-deprecating, and dark. I write the way I speak and definitely the way I speak to myself which is not often nice.

While some things may be embellished, simplified, or exaggerated for the comic medium, there is always a truth to them for that snapshot of time.
