Otaku Crossdressers Get Magazine

Crossdressing is booming in Japan, and to support (or exploit) that phenomenom a new magazine, “Otoko no Ko no Club”, now caters specifically to the demographic.
Originally the magazine was planned to cater for both male and female crossdressers, but this was soon changed due to the noticeable rise of male crossdressers in Japan in the last few years.
The magazine’s title, オトコノコ / Otoko no Ko, is the now common usage of “boy” written with a non-standard reading of the character for “girl”, and then rendered into katakana.
The editor of the magazine is quoted as saying that the rise is tied to male otaku that start to crossdress as their favourite character (reminiscent of a certain crossdressing kickboxing champion). These cosplayers are said to be interested chiefly in sexual gratification.
These “casual” crossdressers are then joined by the old “hardcore” okama, males that either want to become woman or want to at least take on the trappings of their gender.
The magazine is selling quite well and has reached the rank of #219 on Amazon Japan recently; Japan has a particularly long history of crossdressing, so it will be interesting to see if this boom persists…

traps, reverse traps, i'd hit them all. HARD.
I would subscribe to a reverse trap magazine.
"Otako no ko"?? - Typo spotted, first paragraph.
Yeah, just a little typo by linkinstreet, since the tag is correct.
I see they're taking tips from Thailand now.
MUST GET NO MATTER WHAT. KYAAAA THERE IS FIALLY ONE. NOW WHERE CAN I BUY IT.
I have nothing against cross-cosplaying; as long as they at least have a half way decent body and put in a effort to look as famine a possiable.
haha wow i didnt think it was a guy at first o.O
At least you have got to admit it take more chutzpah that Trekkie cosplay.
scans where?
i am a female bisexual, so of course I have no problem with such a concept as a magazine for cross dressing men. I bet some of those in that magazine are really hot hehe ;)
His balls are sticking out on the front cover.....................................
A Trap Magazine -- sounds interesting =3
Hello!
Akiko from Tokyo in Japan
http://akikos-planet.cocolog-nifty.com/blog/
I need to subscribe to this!
Still looks like a man.
I have any interest to men so do no want.
First thing I thought when I saw this, before reading even the title, was "damn she ugly, she a man or something?"
I hope that the boys in this magazine don't all look like the one on the cover then, because he does not pass at all.
Fap now ask questions later?
ARGH! MY EYES!! NOT GONNA BUY!!!
Amazon.jp still delivers out of country, right?
Don't forget http://www.jppp.biz/ , they buy and deliver everything to you from japan for a little fee of 35$ (increases with each new item and store).
crossdress 3D = fap FAIL
How many times must this be repeated? It is delicious trap you must eat it.
*Pukes*
DO NO WANT.

The model on the cover fails. Trap is not a trap without the bulge on the panties..
Not that i'm into RL traps, except for Hizaki.
Ugh, this is some nasty shit...-_-;
DO WANT!
SAME HERE comrade
..........
So if Tissue Hime is featured here, that means it's confirmed to be a guy?
Hime was confirmed to be a guy ages ago...
It's written in the faq section of his website:

OHSHI-- yaoi-obsessed textemoticon-spammer weeaboos are invading Sankaku.

Actually, NO.
You can CLEARLY see that it's a guy.
errr, a whole magazine dedicated for crossdesser? nice
make it simple bitch! it's a Fucking GAY magazine, strongly Do NOT want!! Eww~!!!
Open your mind to the reality that the world is not black-and-white, it is in color.
Not just salt-vs-pepper, but Baskin & Robbins 33+ flavors.
Some cross-dressers are gay.
Some cross-dressers are not gay.
I have no interest in cross-dressers or gay people, but that's their thing to do if they want.
Peace-n-Love.
No one is forcing it upon you and your strong distaste only makes your sexuality more suspicious.
Oh, so it's a gay magazine now is it?
I don't have a problem here.
I might want one if the crossdressers look hot xD
Hiding your tiny weiner now?
Trust me, the gays don't want you as much as you think :\
oh, no is it not loli, or lezzy enough 4 u?
hmmm i wonder how cute u r?
as cute as the 1st pic above?
doubt it!
"oh no, i guy cuter, hawtr, way more sex appeal than me? I hav 2 hate on dat!"
@King of Hentai Gods
Crossdressing does not equal gay!
Try to study more.
No homo.
Self-denying faggot.
There are King for Gods? Are there also Gods for Gods?
gods for gods?
sure, mom and dad, owners of the basement.
Zeus?
Oh You Forget About The Grand Parents living in the basement...
Grand Parents in the basement? You mean the Titans.
So... do you want?
yes
The magazine or the boys?
I want both. :D
Mr. Randomuser here.
Not by you.
As for Trap Monthly, do want if they have high quality traps.
Those pictures however are not of a high quality face.
I did not ask you, Mr. Randomuser, did I?
I always report the bugs I find on the page with Opera, which Artefact says that he is thankful for. So my question were simply, intended to Artefact, if the same would be appreciated for interesting news.
And I always pay attention, but I do not use and do not plan to use the forum in any close future.
You should really check the forums, Mr. Autosexual, since Artefact said not more than 2 days ago there that he wants people to email him good news. Don't spam Artefact with your crappy crap though, especially if you don't even know if it's been brought up in the forums.
Please do email anything you think worthy and I will take a look, though equally don't be disheartened if it doesn't run as not everything can. Plenty of people have emailed me tips, and the quality so far has been quite good...
^ Dito
I saw this yesterday, actually thought of e-mailing it as a tip for a post since it fits very well in here. But I didn't know if tip-offs for articles is wanted at Sankaku. I sometimes read things that would fit really well for this site, but isn't posted.
So, are e-mail tip-offs appreciated?
Probably not by you.
If you haven't been paying attention, numerous articles thus far have come from the forum, including the immensely popular Handley vs Iowa article.
FAP TIME......................... lol

Damn... There are more than enough traps out there, try to imagine how will it become now they have motivational texts...
I can't believe it!!! A magazine full of traps!!
The world is coming to an END!!!!
dammit DO NOT WANT! the only okama that are acceptable are the funny ones like the one piece okamas or hard gay.
I'm all for crossdressers, but this one ain't that pretty.
Is this the beginning of a new breed of humans?
NEWTYPE?!
No, Japan has a long history of traps and loving traps. It all started when they kicked women out of kabuki in the 1600s and made it an all-male thing. Beautiful men playing female roles (onnagata) were and still are highly desirable to both men and women.
It's the same reason Japanese rock stars and boy bands could pass as women.
No way. Im loving crossdressing even more.
I hope so. This is highly relevant to my interests.
You know, I just thought of a reason why such a thing existed....XD
Feminists now are on the rage of oppressing the interests of men everywhere. Its now up to them to sooth the anger of said group, if not to piss them off by ruining the image of their latest fashion trends to their would-be male onlookers/stalkers.
Otherwise, they're just trying to side with the winning team at the moment.
IT'S A TRAP!
