A breathtakingly imaginative fantasy series starring Max—a high schooler chosen to become the next "Magical Girl." There's just one catch . . . he's a trans boy! Although he was assigned female at birth, Max is your average trans man trying to get through high school as himself. But on top of classes, crushes, and coming out, Max's life is turned upside down when his mom reveals an eons old family secret: he's descended from a long line of Magical Girls tasked with defending humanity from a dark, ancient evil! For decades, Devoid and his minions have been sealed away, with each generation's magical girl protecting the seal and our world. But as the millennia have passed, more and more cracks have appeared in the weakening seal. Now, the seal is open, evil is pouring into our world, and only Max can defeat it. A hilarious and heartfelt riff on the magical girl genre made popular by teen manga series, Magical Boy is a one-of-a-kind fantasy series that comic readers of all ages will love.

Great example of positive and realistic trans rep

I was reading this comic series as it was coming out on tapas, it was highly entertaining and mirrored my transmasculine experience very accurately especially with the nuanced take on the separation between gender identity and sexuality. It encompasses more than just a queer experience, though; it covers the experience of being forced into playing your role in a way that doesn't fit with who you are. It's really nice to watch as Max and his mother both come to terms with and learn more about each other. I would recommend this book highly to anyone who hasn't read it.
