When the former transfers schools he soon finds himself drawn towards the latter as they strike up something of a friendship, at a time when both individuals begin to question their place in the grand scheme of things and, more importantly, the separation of the genders and roles assigned to them and those which they feel more comfortable with. Yet here we are, with a copy of Fantagraphic's rather delicious looking hard cover first volume in our hands - enough in itself to iron some of the furrows from my tired brow.Īt its core, Wandering Son is the tale of two youngsters - the rather feminine Shuichi Nitori, and tomboyish Yoshino Takatsuki. Perhaps one of our prime candidates for this in recent times would have been Wandering Son - despite its anime adaptation streaming via Crunchyroll, its original manga didn't particularly seem like a prime candidate for an English language release. In our fog of world-weary cynicism, we often view certain manga and anime series with a shrug and a sighed exclamation of "we'll never see that series released officially in the west".
