Boy Meets Maria

Product Information

Taiga dreams of becoming an actor, so the first thing he does upon entering high school is join the drama club. There, he meets the beautiful, enigmatic Maria and immediately falls in love with her. Not long after, Taiga is told that she is actually a boy–but is that all there is to Maria’s story?

Don't read it if you merely suspect that you won't be able to bear it. It is awful and it's not worth it.

C'est un manga fort et émouvant qui aborde la dysphorie de genre d'un des personnages, l'amour d'un lycéen pour lui, leurs traumatismes respectifs, tout ça dans le cadre du club de théâtre. TLDR: A drama story that's too convenient, not that it is necessarily a problem, but it was to a point where I couldn't really take everything seriously. Otherwise great art, and even if I wasn't the biggest fan, the point came across, and that was enough for me to enjoy it (and should be for literally anyone who isn't cynical). Knowing this and enjoying seeing what he did is knowing that there will be no more works like this. A 10/10. Everything that unfolds through this way of seeing is constructed as a true story of heroes, saving someone else. Boy Meets Maria has a relatively simple plot, here we have a boy, named Taiga, who has just started his academic life at his new school, and soon falls in love with a person, a supposed actress, who soon realizes that this actress who he thought was a woman, is actually a man, and from there the story develops, showing the difficulties of both people in dealing with this situation. Overall, as I said, the plot is simple, but the main triumph of this manga is using its simple premise to develop its characters, to the point where the premise doesn't matter so much, this story is more about how the characters act on this premise, as well as building their personalities, and how this impacts how they view this situation, and this guides how they will deal with the difficulties in their lives.
