LGBT Manga Character Of The Week: Private Tamama
Awww, ain't he adorable? Sorry, where was I? Right, this week's character comes to us straight from the pages of Sgt. Frog. Private Second Class Tamama is part of the Keroro Platoon, a bumbling group of aliens sent from the planet Keron to invade the Earth. When we first meet Tamama, he seems like a cute, easygoing little alien who loves candy, but he quickly reverts into a hateful little firecracker that destroys anything that pisses him off with his "Tamama Impact." He especially goes into a rage whenever someone else show's interest in Sgt. Keroro (the book's main character). One of the running gags of the series is Tamama plotting to take out Angol Moa, a human-looking bringer of Armageddon, who is always doting on the Sergeant. Tamama has not been outed as gay, but there has been one instance of some of the other platoon members joking about it with him, and you can clearly see he's trying to hide it. Hang in there Tamama, you'll win the Sergeant over one day! ....but probably not.
