What makes it different from other manga is its unusual and engaging plot. It's a slice-of-life comedy that follows the lives of two office workers. During work hours, both wear conventional, work-appropriate clothing. However, when they are outside the professional environment, the situation takes an unexpected turn: the man transforms into a charming gothic lolita , while the woman adopts an unrestrained punk with men's clothing.
The concept of crossdressing, the practice of dressing in clothing associated with the opposite sex, 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, whether as a hobby or as part of their gender identity, dress in clothing that is socially considered feminine.
A term often associated with crossdressing is “trapito”, a Castilianization 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 original English usage, its use in Latin America generally 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. But with a good narrative and intriguing characters, this manga managed to win over its audience, consolidating itself as an essential item on the shelves of fans of the genre.
However, with the overwhelming success it has achieved in such a short time, expectations for the future of “Kaisha to Shiseikatsu: On to Off” are high. Finally, fans can eagerly await new chapters to continue exploring the adventures of their protagonists.
