Resumen
From an outsider's perspective, what they are seeing is a normal meetup between three girls. However, these "girls" are meeting for the first time because of one commonality: they were born as males, but crossdress for various reasons.
Ryousuke "Yui" Kijima pretends to be his deceased older sister to keep her memory alive, Osamu "Parou" Tamura dresses as a girl to attract his straight senior in school, and Yuuta "Marika" Aoki is a transgender female. Despite their similarities, Yui hates how the other two are satisfied with their habits, and leaves quickly. Then alone, Parou expresses his support for Marika, causing her to fall in love with him.
Though their meeting was cut short, the lives of these three people begin to cross. As they grapple with their genders and identities, romantic feelings begin to foster, sharpening the divide between them, yet bring them closer at the same time.

Bokura no Hentai review
(first i to excuse me about my english, my primary language is french)
I have never been that much emotionally involved in a manga. I think that the 3 main characters really bring simething to the table for the two main themes (wich ares crossdressing and relationships). I think that transidentity and gender dysphoria are protraided so much realistic and human way. As someone who is Transfeminine, i think Marika live trough realistic struggles and sufferance. Her relationship with Parou is one of the best representation of one sided love ive ever seen in any media. The ending for me was perfect for me, it brings some kind of moral lesson about love and personnal growth. |
Bokura no Hentai review
Story: 10
The story is complex with an impacting mixture of dark and light hearted topics and situations. It transitions smoothly between these topics which often strengthens it's individual parts. It often ventures into psychological episodes and these are done with a subtlety that allows them to be scary. The author appears to have done an extraordinary amount of research on the characters as this manga treats its transgender character honestly and accurately. Art: 8 Many of the scenes within the manga are exquisitely done. It shows an exceptional use of lights and darks with dramatic changes at the right times to instil emotion into its story. Its greatest flaw is its occasional dips in artistic form when depicting less important scenes. Characters: 10 The characters are dark and complex and depicted with a deep understanding of the real life situations and feelings which people in their situations go through. They are full of surprises and develop thoroughly thoughout the story. Enjoyment: 10 The manga is one that mixes beautifully the darkness of its characters with their lovely personalities. Leading to good and bad people in traumatic or life changing situations which affect them realistically. Happiness comes when things go well but it is quickly offset with fear and sadness. In combination this makes these situations emotionally powerful. Overall: 9 A powerful story about characters which do not typically get this much honesty. This story provides an honest look into gender issues without humiliating or glorifying them. Bokura no Hentai provides a beautiful story and a chance to look into and understanda difficult life others sometimes live. |
Bokura no Hentai review
First of all, this manga is definitively not for everyone. It handles some really dark subject matters and shows a lot of abuse and trauma. That said, I really love this manga and I know that it probably doesn't deserve a 10 if you're trying to be "objective" since it has quite a few flaws, but it's also absolutely amazing in other ways. Beware for anyone reading further, there will be some minor spoilers.
So first, the good stuff. What I love about this manga and why I rated it so highly, is how it portrays the internal struggles of our 3 protagonists. There's just something about the way she presents their internal struggles that really gets to me. From Marikas childlike obsession about being a princess and desire to be "pure" enough to deserve to be a "real" girl while dealing with her dysphoria and budding sexuality and male puberty, to the darkness you can feel dripping from every scene in and around Tamuras mind, as he struggles to come to term with the fact that he was raped as a child, and having to watch him continue the cycle of abuse, to the imaginary dialogues Ryuosuke has with his dead sister and all the creepy scenes with his mother. The manga does a really good job of getting you into the headspaces of these three, and for most of it it's not particularly pleasant. The story deals with some really heavy subjects like rape, molestation, transphobia and parental neglect. One scene in particular comes to mind, where one character molests another character. The scene is beautiful rendered and presented in an almost poetic way while also being absolutely horrifying, while simultaneously portraying the headspace of the person doing the molesting, showing just how broken they've been left by previous trauma. It's like watching a beautiful train crash in slow motion, super disturbing, you can see it coming and yet you can't look away. As I said, it's a very dark manga. I remember hearing someone describing reading it feeling "as a bad fever dream but I remember it had a happy ending" which pretty much sums it up. The three main characters start of in a very bad place and watching them grow and get out of with the help of each other and their friends is where most of the enjoyment comes from. You'll have to decide for yourself if that is something you're interested in. Now to the less good stuff. My biggest problem is probably that it felt to me like it lost some of it's steam somewhere after the halfway point. The first few chapters I would wholeheartedly score 10/10 but as the story goes on it starts to feel somewhat convoluted and confusing, especially after most of their troubles are over towards the ending. Don't get me wrong, there are some great scenes towards the ending but it started to feel a bit like the plot was just jumping around from scene to scene with no clear thread between them. It also did not help that the last chapter had a timeskip that was not clearly telegraphed which confused me a lot the first time I read it. It's not a super big problem, but it is something that makes me feel a bit bad about giving it a 10/10. While I loved Marika and thinks that overall she was handled really well(Seriously if you're a trans woman and wants to read a dark manga with a happy ending, drop everything and read this now), she does feel a bit like the stereotypical perfect trans girl, super feminine, known since a young age, everyone comments on how cute and feminine she is all the time etc etc. Once again, it's not a big problem but it does feel a bit out of place as a trans woman, because I'm pretty sure none of us are that "perfectly trans" and she would probably have felt a bit more realistic if she was a bit more "flawed" in that sense. There's also a really weird scene in chapter 40 that completely clashes with her character growth and basically puts her further back than she was in chapter 1. It felt like it was just put in as a joke and it's not that important so I just ignore it but it still felt weird and out of place. Some of her friends are also implied to have some gender stuff to deal with themselves, but it's just suddenly dropped and never mentioned again. Now having said that, that's about it for my problems with the series. I really enjoyed it, and it has stuck with me in a way no other manga has which is why I'm giving it 10/10 despite it's flaws. There's just something about how it puts you in the heads of these deeply broken characters and lets you see all their insecurities, doubts and pain and watching them grow and get out of it and get to a better place that really stuck with me. I know it's not for everyone, but if what I've described sounds interesting to you, then it's 100% worth the read. |
Bokura no Hentai review
I'm sorry but this review won't be very long. (It's my first so it will probably be shitty writing- sorry)
Well overall this manga is very good I think. Story: 8 The story is actually very complex when you delve deeper into it- throughout the manga you are shown the current story and backstory of the three main characters, and occasionally the side characters. The story has a perfect mix of sadness/psychological trauma and happiness- it is well paced, without rushing or taking agonizingly long. Characters: 8 The characters are all very likable and there are no annoying characters- and the 'villains' are suitably detestable. Each and every character has their own individual traits and the three mains are all very different but still interact well together. -Yuuta 'Marika' Marika is a trans girl who likes boys. She hasn't had surgery yet and still attends school as a boy. Marika is a very cute girl and extremely likable- but she still has her moments when she shows her more adult side which is always fun and refreshing. -Osamu 'Parou san' Parou san is a boy who started cross dressing because the guy he liked said he would only be in a relationship with him if he looked like a girl. It is unclear as to wether he is gay or just bi as he also shows an interest in Marika. Parou san however wins the most fucked up award. To avoid spoilers I won't tell you the main reason but it is shown in the first few chapters that his relationship with his lover is extremely messed up. Parou san, despite antisocial and messed up behaviour is also likeable in the sense that you feel sad for him- like really sad. -Ryousuke Ryousuke is a boy who cross dresses as his dead sister, because his mother won't accept her death and is mentally unstable as a result. To make his mother feel better, Ryousuke pretends for his mother to be his sister. Ryousuke likes girls and at first pretty much hates the other two becausehe is upset that no one else is like him. Ryousuke is extremely likeable and is very protective of Marika. Art: 7 Okay the art is good- it's really cute and well done. My only problem is they all look like middle schooler's when they are teenagers. So it's hard to tell the age, and rather weird when they act old- I still need to keep reminding myself how old they are. Overall extremely enjoyable- I like the psychological and romance factors and the fact that it deals with all the different types of cross dressers and gets them to interact. |
