Manga Review: Mayonaka no Waltz

The Basics Title: Mayonaka no Waltz / Midnight Waltz / まよなかのワルツ Format: One Shot Release: 2017 Genres: Romance, Supernatural, Vampire, Dance, Josei Status: Finished Synopsis: A girl makes the acquaintance of a monstrous creature who believes himself to be quite human. Source: Anilist.co My Review This is a oneshot comic that is part of a collection of manga by Nagabe that features anthromorphic animals. I have to admit, this theme is not something I am used to reading, but it was suggested to me by my friend Nana (with a content warning), so I was intrigued. This was a short read, but it made me contemplate a lot on the idea of identity... as a human being who is uncomfortable in the skin they were born in, as someone who struggles with impostor syndrome, as someone who always feels out of place etc. I appreciate manga (or anything really) that hands me questions to reflect on and/or leads me to feel stuff, and this does both.  I wonder if I'll ever find answers to all the question
