| The cover for the 1st chapter of the manga 'Seiri Danshi Anthology' |
Ok, so I just went through my Facebook feed a couple of minutes ago, y'know, just to catch up to the latest Japanese stuff (SGCafe, Tokyo Otaku Mode, GoBoiano... go check them out!) when I found a shared article from GoBoiano. I don't know if you guys have heard it before, but it's about Seiri Danshi Anthology or to be frankly English, Period Boy.
Seriously, Japan? =-= (roll credits :D! #cinemasinsreference) To sum this manga up, it's about a 17-year-old kid who menstruates.
I know. Not my cup of tea. =-=
It's kind of expected for Japan to do really weird stuff like Boku no Pico or KissxSis (yes, I'm creeped out by both of them >.<||||), but Seiri Danshi is in a different category altogether. I've seen the first few pages of the manga (scarring, but I made it through ALIVE!!) and here's a little sum-up.
Our male protagonist Chihiro, who was fine the day before, wakes up and finds himself in his own words, "a sea of blood spreading out before me". He's thinking of other logical things that might've caused it, like hemorrhoids or blood mixing in with his urine, but before he could finish thinking it through, his mother comes in and asks for his sheets and pajamas to be washed.
Well, I'm thinking you can guess the rest.ヾ(_ _*)
On the first read, I found rather more shocking than gross, but after going through the pages, it kinda made me laugh. Watching him react to that kind of situation reminds me a lot of the many menstruation problems girls usually relate to on Tumblr (seriously tho, Tumblr's FULL of them =-=). I myself tried to look for a logical explanation to it, like 'maybe he's both genders' or 'diseases', but then again... The title of the manga is as clear as my nose. And I have a big nose =-=.
Being completely honest, I actually wanna go where this is going. Out of mere curiosity :/. Well, aren't you? And I feel really bad for dear Chihiro here. Now he has to suffer the pains of being a girl and has to keep it a secret too. He must have another outlook for girls after he's gone through this... Seriously though, don't you feel sorry for him too? Look at him! (´；д；`) (I'm such a sucker for Japanese 2D boys.. huh!)
And that's another thing: the first thing that I said when I saw the few pages of the manga was, "He's too hot to go through something like that!" People know how I can barely get over how cute a male anime character is, and Chihiro's face actually made my heart flutter.
When I first saw the chapter cover (the one I posted up there, titled 'My Period Starts Today'), the first thing I thought was (he's so HOT (●´□`)♡ seriously tho, it's true) maybe he just got punched in the stomach, and he's the sissy type so he can't handle the pain like a man. Then I caught sight of the box of pills and thought maybe he was sick or something. The title really sank in later on, coz I couldn't accept the fact that a hot guy like him is going through such a situation. Where would he be bleeding from, anyway? ╰▐ ◑ ‸ ◑ ▐╯
... Exactly. I don't know either. For the sake of mentally scarring you forever, here's another picture of him. (BUT HE'S SO ADORABLY CUTE!!!!!)

A major April Fools' joke, but with drawing skills like that, this guy should be doing manga. Just... not so weird ones this time.
Expect more updates from me soon!
