As dusk shifts to twilight, tiny lights begin to flicker all over the tents as though the whole circus is covered in fireflies.  When the tents are aglow, sparkling against the night sky, the sign lights up: Le Cirque des Reves translates to The Circus of Dreams.  The gates shudder and unlock, seemingly by their own violation.   They swing outward, inviting the crowd inside. Now the circus is open, now you can enter. Discover this amazing fantasy with a different kind of magic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cArai\u2019s English-language debut at 30, I realised I had no gender isn\u2019t his first autobiographical manga, but it is something of a rarity in terms of what we tend to get in translation: it\u2019s about aging as a queer person and being comfortable with the changes that come along with it. At 30, I realised I had no gender is the open, frank, and honest discussion that sticks with you. If you\u2019re looking for a book that doesn\u2019t hold back and just speaks its mind about it\u2019s creator\u2019s experiences as a human being, definitely pick this up<\/em><\/strong>\u201d  \u2013 Rebecca Silverman, Anime News Network<\/p>\n\n\n\n
