"The Bride Was a Boy," by Chii

Pros:

• The art is cute and expressive
• The work provides insight into the lives of LGBT people (and one transgender woman in particular) in other countries, and particularly, in Japan. I was especially interested to learn about laws relating to gender and sexual orientation there. 
• The comic comes with a "works cited," page.  Neat.

Cons:

• I was a bit leery about some of the language the author used and the way the author couched her current identity in her sex assigned at birth ("...was a boy").  Though I very much doubt it was the author's intention, lines of thinking like this are sometimes used to de-legitimize transgender people and identities (e.g. "you're really a boy," or, "you're just a man in a dress").  Beyond that, the author conflates of sex assigned at birth and gender identity, which, "muddies the water," with regards to terminology in my opinion.  Other than that, nothing jumped out at me as being especially problematic. 
• It was a minor annoyance half of every page in chapter 3 is used for a repeated "title card," while each of the previous chapters had full pages of illustrations. 

Conclusion:

It was a fun, easy read.  Though I might use different terms / terminology in spots, 1) I understand that the choices made reflect the author and her experience, and 2) I would rather someone learning about transgender people have this work as a baseline than a lot of other portrayals in mass media / on the internet.  If the title grabbed your attention, or if you'd like to learn about the LGBTQ community via a manga, this book is definitely worth checking out.

Final Score:
8/10
