I am again urging people, especially since it's Pride month, to check out the manga or anime, Stop! Hibari-kun! to experience the trans anime queen of the 80s.
Parts have aged poorly but Hibari-kun is still an amazing character.

The dichotomy of Hibari as both a progressive trans narrative and an ignorant product of its time showcases Japan's complicated relationship with trans women and other marginalized groups.
