A rag manga is triumphing in Japan

The world of manga in Japan is being shaken by the publishing phenomenon that represents “ Kaisha to Shiseikatsu: On to Off ( Company and Private Life: On and Off )”. With only one compiled volume on the market, this manga has managed to exceed 100,000 copies in circulation , marking an impressive milestone in terms of sales.

What makes this manga stand out from the crowd is its unusual and engaging plot. It is a slice-of-life comedy that follows the lives of two office workers. During work hours, both dress in conventional, work-appropriate attire. However, when they meet outside the workplace, the situation takes an unexpected turn: the man transforms into a charming gothic lolita, while the woman adopts an unbridled punk style with masculine clothes.

The concept of crossdressing, the practice of dressing in clothing associated with the opposite gender, is at the heart of this story. This theme has gained popularity in contemporary culture, especially with the proliferation of femboys on the Internet. These are individuals who, either as a hobby or as part of their gender identity, dress in clothing considered socially feminine.

A term that is often associated with crossdressing is “trapito”, a Spanishization of the English word “trap”. This term is used to refer to men who dress like women. Although some consider that the term may have negative connotations, especially in its English origin, its use in Latin America usually lacks pejorative intentions.

The success of “Kaisha to Shiseikatsu: On to Off” lies not only in its unique plot, but also in its ability to capture readers' attention. With a fresh narrative and intriguing characters, this manga has managed to captivate a wide spectrum of audiences, establishing itself as a must-have on the shelves of fans of the genre.

With the overwhelming success it has experienced in such a short time, expectations for the future of “Kaisha to Shiseikatsu: On to Off” are high. Fans look forward to new installments that continue to explore the fun and sometimes surprising adventures of their protagonists.
