In a literaly panorama increasingly open to raising awareness on modern issues, we find Boy skirt from Torino Shino. I read this in one go thinking I was looking at a story of gender research but I was wrong. I read it all in one go as it was a single volume An interesting story that doesn't deal with issues related to his sexuality, but focuses more on the freedom to express himself. Momota is not looking for his gender identity or has a sexuality other than heterosexual as other stories of this genre tell. The reasons behind his decision is just because when he was child,he liked to see his uncle wear the skirt. Momota thus destroys an old social construct linked to the fact that only males and females can wear certain clothes How will the boy's family react? and his classmates? Teacher? And the girls? Is it really very uncomfortable to see a guy wearing a skirt? He can go over the people judgements? The characters in the story are not complex, this makes the reading perfectly attributable to the slice of life style. A short and light tale that doesn't have many pretensions, except to tell about an unusual choice of clothing by a young high school student and the simple reasons that link it.
