Thigh High: Reiwa Hanamaru Academy Vol. 1

Product Information

I just had to read the book when I saw that cover. I was in the mood for something silly, something weird, something hilarious and this seemed to fit the bill. Well, after reading it… I can confirm this is perfect if you need something silly. Thigh High is a manga built around an aesthetic concept, but it really isn't central to its plot. The series would work with or without its all-male students wearing skirts – it's simply there for oggles. The primary focus of the series is the hijinks and misunderstandings that Reiwa High's earnest yet stiff class president gets himself into. Kiritani (oft referred to as Kiretani as a reference to his habit of 'snapping') wants his fellow classmates to rely on him and dreams of a fun, social school life. Except he's very straight-edged and a loner, with the exception of his friend (and crush) Harumi.

Not unlike his best friend, Harumi, who is short, peppy and adorable. Kiritani is constantly teased by his classmates for always snapping at them to keep their uniforms clean and tend to their studies. But in a delightful little twist, the other characters don't berate him for it. Instead, they give him inclusive advice (e.g., wear a cute bra) and lend a helping hand.

If the boys are wearing skirts and going to an all-girls school… (and the butler of one of the guys wears a maid outfit) I wonder what the girls are doing? Haha, I am kind of hoping that we get to see them and see the boys fawn over them in the way girls do. Schoolgirl Series: Parodied; the manga takes place in a school and follows many typical tropes of the genre, but the catch is that the "schoolgirls" are actually crossdressing men. loving cute things to admiring the way each other dress. Of course irl guys can also do the same, but this manga goes further with the gag of how female characters are portrayed in manga and anime. I loved that there were many tropes that female characters experience that are shown in anime and manga portrayed onto the boys. Some of the tropes that were made in this story I liked were skirts being blown in the wind and the boys being worried about it, some of the boys being jealous about each other's chest size, or of course the well known tripping onto another person and accidentally touching their chest. There's a couple more, but everyone should certainly read the manga to see what other tropes were shown. Part of the issue here is that it doesn't feel particularly funny or subversive to have boys wearing girls' uniforms or worrying about their appearances. It's clearly meant to be both based on the loving images of muscular thighs peeking out from under skirts and scenes of boys worrying about their skin and having to wear bras when it's hot out. (Not to mention the whole swimsuit chapter.) It's also kind of weird that we don't see any women in the story at all, including teachers, which makes things feel underdeveloped, although that really could just be me overthinking. Mostly this just feels like dated humor, especially because its only real gag is the cross-dressing.You see, whether it be an alternate universe where boys (and men, the teachers are not exempt) dress as women, or an all boys high school with a very specific dress code, the young blossoms in the proverbial garden of Reiwa Hanamaru Academy wear skirts and blouses.

Thigh High: Reiwa Hanamaru Academy, (令和はなまる学園, "Reiwa Hanamura Gakuen") is a gag comedy manga with story and art by Kotobuki.Fanservice: If you're into men crossdressing, especially masculine men, this is the manga that will scratch that itch. This is especially true for things like Hot Springs Episode and Beach Episode in which the whole thing is played as straight as it would be in a manga about girls, but with guys dressed as girls. In this book we follow Kiritani, who is the class president of the class. He is your standard class president. For real. Strict, trying to do all the things, tries to get involved. No one listens to him though (or well, most of the time). But he tries to make friends and I liked that he kept going (despite it not always going well). I also liked that as the story continued he got closer to people/talked to more people. He is quite a fun guy and I laughed at how he reacted to things, his reactions are just so pure and innocent, haha. The cast is one of the best parts of the manga. Each character is unique, memorable, and brings something different to the story. They’re designed in a way that makes them feel distinct and interesting, with varied body types, facial features, and hairstyles. The characters are all very loveable and the dynamics between them are well-defined and consistent.
