Pepperman (Artist) from Ghost Tower (@neeila)

Ghost theme is one of my favorite horror themes (after all, I grew up watching ghost cartoons), so I couldn't pass up the opportunity to add another ghost version of Pepperman to my sketchbook, but this time, I tried to draw him more ghostly (no pen line, just white and blue pencil). Was it difficult? Yeah :") And I'm afraid to touch this drawing because I'm afraid to smudge the pencil ;^;.About this Pepperman, the author has a backstory. He's a murdered soul who's afraid of any light source, and the reason for the murder was never solved and the case was closed after Vigilante's death. Since he doesn't remember his name (like the ghosts in Coraline don't remember their names), his name is simply Artist. Well, that's what the author said. Actually, the author told me more little things about this Pepperman, but... I don't want to spoiler it for you. So the author will tell you about him and the rest of the little things in this AU someday. I don't think it would be respectful to say anything without the author's permission😐. So with your permission, I'll stop here.

yuureitou is very interesting honestly

the major flaws in it are unavoidable; its definitely got problematic stuff in it, and a lot of heavy, triggering content. its not for the faint of heart

but it struck me how it had conflicting art/events and messages. like

the story as a whole is filled with gore, violence, threats of assault, and perversion. at the same time, the overall message calls for hope for a better future

the art definitely sexualizes all female appearing bodies. it leers a lot on tetsuo, the trans man character. thats obviously not Great, and id totally understand why thatd turn a lot of people away from it. at the same time, the writing itself handles tetsuo’s identity with a shocking amount of sincerity. no matter what anyone thinks throughout the story, even when tetsuo himself gives up, the narrative never wavers on the fact that he is a Man

when amano first learns of tetsuo being trans, hes very weird about it. he gets confused and has some kind of ignorant, transphobic ideas—but then he grows. the fact that amano changes over the course of the story and grows to hold that same, unwavering belief in tetsuo’s identity proves that the story has its heart in the right place, i think

it takes time to give tetsuo’s identity weight too. the story doesnt just focus on him struggling with transphobia and dysphoria, but it shows his first burst of euphoria from getting a haircut too. as someone whos transmasc myself, it reads very sincerely to me, despite the fetishistic art

the manga… Does have some transmisogyny in it as well with the main villain. im not going to pretend to be an expert on it, theres not much of an excuse for it—just as theres no excuse for the fetishization of tetsuo’s body

i found it interesting however, that even with that villain theres still some positive transfem rep with amano. im still using he/him bc its never Confirmed, and i personally think of him as some form of genderfluid or genderqueer.

either way, its clear he finds joy and euphoria in being a girl sometimes—it shows him feeling some longing to look like other girls as well. like tetsuo, it shows dysphoria and euphoria.

and the ending… is so queer! im not going to spoil it but its extremely wonderful.

i find this manga deeply interesting bc of this. it somehow embodies all these harmful stereotypes, and yet also shows a genuine desire for people to live freely. i wish more people would give it a chance

can u remind me what yuureitou is ABOUT again im sorting through the manga i wanna slot in next (dr stone is on the wait list cuz its longer then p much anything else i have so im going through small fry first but mark my word ill get to it)

😌 i would by no means call yuureitou "small fry" GDHDHDJ but ok its hard for me to remember the exact details of the Plot tm bc ive only read it once n its been a few months since then but basically its a horror/murder mystery where the main guy is tangled up in this treasure hunt by this other guy n its all somehow connected to this mysteryous tower where a woman was killed by her daughter 2 years ago etc etc its that kinda stuff, along w the horror stuff it heavly revolves around the themes of "deviants" aka lgbt people and what life was like for them back in that era, one of the main characters is a trans man n his gender identity is actually an integral part of the plot n its handled so well n its like one of the few times that i was reading a manga w a trans character n actually felt like the mangaka understood wtf he was talking about dhfjkda

a lot of people's biggest gripe with it is the fanservice n while i do agree that its pretty annoying to see in the chapter covers, in the actual content of the story i think the way they utilize ""fanservice"" is actually really interesting and another thing that contributes to the amazing ending of the story n i really want to write a long post on that subject but i wanna reread it first dhdjfjkf BASICALLY IT'S GOOD STUFF
