A boy named Kousaku Sakamoto, tired as he was of the recent days. Felt asleep on the train that would take him to tokyo to stay with a stranger.

Yet when the train finally reached Kanto station, the body of Kousaka Sakamoto woke up. Although it was no longer the the same boy that was oh so tired.

A self-insert of a very old comedy manga.

    • What is this yee old manga you ask?

    Stop!! Hibari-kun was a slice of life comedy manga written by Hisashi Eguchi back in the 1980s and published by shonen jump. It follows the titular Hibari as she and the rest of the cast get out to some day to day hijinks.

    What really made this story standout back then was that Hibari was a transgirl (not that they used the term back then). Why that specifically stood out was that lgbt characters that were written back then were mostly unflattering stereotypes while Hibari was written...not as a normal person but with more respect then her contemporaries at the time.

    Also I read somewhere that the manga was the first to kickstart shonen manga's practice of having the chapter cover pages to feature the main characters in stylish outfits thought that might need additional fact checking.

    The manga had an ok run, but only stop at only 50-ish chapters without any sort of real ending, there was an anime that adapted the first half of the series then did weird and sorta overthetop filler episodes for the rest.

    Never the less, it was quite interesting and some in the blue-pink-white communities (not that i'm apart of them, i just lurk in their writing server) like it for it's progressive portrayal of trans ideas at the time.
