It was mostly inspired by Des. And the reflection that with that expert guidance on board, he ought to be really good at it!

(Crossdressing a a trope predates manga by a few centuries, or possibly millenia.)

I got into manga via anime, which I first encountered at SF cons back in the 80s. Explored more when a few cassettes filtered into video rental stores in the 90s, then came Netflix discs by mail and access suddenly bloomed. I began tracking manga when anime series were truncated, to see how the stories came out.

Jason Howell asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

Hello Lois... I'm asking this question of several writers (some friends, some strangers).... Does small-talk come easily for you? If so, do you think the ability to fill silence in conversation informs your writing at all? If not, do you think being averse to small-talk has anything to do with your taking to the page?

I had read one American article. Author writes what Mark Twain – writer little known in USA. It is truth, or it was written by fool???

CY asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

One thing I value very much in books is if they make me laugh or smile, but I'm very rarely amused by the overtly comic. Perhaps one of the reasons I love your books so much is that they can be deeply insightful to comic. So ... I am in need of something to cheer me up. Can you recommend anything? Books by preference, but movies okay too. Thanks!
