AstroNerdBoy Spotted Flower Chapter 20.5 #2 (Manga)
Spotted Flower manga chapter 20.5 #2 review
SPOILER Summary/Synopsis:
NOTE: For the purposes of this and future reviews, until the characters are given names, since these characters are obviously from Genshiken (or Genshiken Nidaime), I will call the “not-Saki” character !Saki, the “not Madarame” character !Madarame, and so forth for all other unnamed Genshiken characters.
!Yajima gets !Hato to consider the all ages manga. She suggests a normal BL life without the hentai. !Hato figures doing that along with a H-doujinshi might be fine. !Hato worries about not being able to go all ages due to a lack of widespread appeal, unlike Senpai (!Ogiue). !Yajima disagrees, citing where !Hato gets placed at Comifes. !Yajima suggests seeing Senpai for advice.
In the bath, !Hato has no ideas, but figures that !Sue would be at the next Comifes.
Thoughts/Review:
Spotted Flower chapter 20.5 #2 is more like the regular “.5” chapters in that it was only 2 pages. The 1st part was four pages. I know there are 16 total pages for all of 20.5, which pretty much makes full sized weekly chapter.
!Hato’s Dilema
As before, we are told about !Hato’s problem doing anything that isn’t hentai BL. It is something !Hato has to overcome since getting offered a manga spot in a normal manga magazine is a big deal. I can understand !Hato feeling inadequate for the task. An artist is usually the harshest critic of their own works.
Still, I like the notion of !Hato and !Yajima talking to !Ogiue (I presume it is !Ogiue as the person is only referenced as “Senpai”) at the next Comifes about it and getting her advice. After all, she went mainstream despite her hentai beginnings.
Final Thoughts and Conclusion
One last item of note – when !Hato considers !Sue being at the next Comifes, is it because !Hato sees it as a problem or no?
In the end, Spotted Flower chapter 20.5 #2Β gives us another super short look at the adult !Hato and !Yajima as they are apparently looking to move mainstream. Should be fun seeing what happens next.

Of course normal males at this point in history cannot give
birth. Not even transsexual post-Operative women can give
birth *at this point in history*.
However a popular genre of manga and regular fiction
is Science Fiction i.e. *not at this point in history*. In SF
male pregnancy is not totally unheard of as are complete
true sex changes on little more than a whim. See the
works of Samuel Delany.
So if you want to to a male pregnancy story in
a science fiction mode it is not impossible in that
tentative future xxx years from this point in history.
Of course it may never happen but manga and even
regular science fiction are full of suppositions
and wish-fulfillment fantasy.
!Hato could write that story in a mainstream
manga magazine.
bliss – who started reading Science Fiction when
manga in its present form had not been invented.
I think we’ll be growing humans in “bags” (referencing an old Max Headroom episode) before males begin giving birth to anything.
