The world of manga in Japan was turned upside down by the phenomenon called “ Kaisha to Shiseikatsu: On to Off ( Company and Private Life: On and Off )”. With only a single compiled volume on the market, this manga managed to surpass the mark of 100,000 copies in circulation .
What sets it apart 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're away from work, things take an unexpected turn: the man transforms into a charming gothic lolita rampant punk style in 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 socially considered feminine.
A term often associated with crossdressing is "trapito," a Spanish translation of the English word "trap." This term is used to refer to men who dress as women. While some consider the term to have negative connotations, especially in its original English usage, its use in Latin America generally lacks pejorative intent.
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 strong narrative and intriguing characters, this manga has managed to win over its audience, solidifying itself as a must-have 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 its protagonists.
