What They're Saying
Critics Review
“One of the top 10 manga of the year… This series from trans creator Gaku eschews the tropes and pitfalls of manga’s comedic takes on gender identity and instead presents a grounded, character-driven look at life as a trans guy in Japan. A standout title among a selection of recent manga addressing the reality of queer life, this is a must-have for teens.” –School Library Journal
“The English-language release of Boys Run the Riot is a true labor of love, from the gorgeous presentation of every volume to Kondansha US’ all-trans localization team… Keito Gaku is a powerful new voice in manga, and we can only hope that he will soon have more to say.” –SOLRAD
“If you give Boys Run The Riot to a trans person in high school, it will not insult their intelligence, and if you give the volume to a cis straight person in high school, they will find parallels in their own life. I closed volume one wanting to know what would happen to Ryo and Jin. I think you will too.” –Bleeding Cool
“This manga shows how exhausting it is to tuck yourself away every day. Ryo’s struggles are instantly relatable – even if you yourself aren’t trans.” –The Mary Sue
