Hime has had a secret crush on Akira for as long as she can remember. Childhood best friends, Hime was the first to know that Akira identified as a girl, and she's made it her mission to protect Akira from the world.
So, when Akira decides to begin secondary school as her true self, Hime is thrilled. But as Akira attracts all kinds of attention at school, Hime’s protective instincts go into overdrive. Not wanting Akira to be singled out, Hime decides that her only option is to put herself in Akira’s shoes and dress like a boy . . . too bad her plan backfires on them both
This manga adaptation of the hit Japanese webcomic series is a joyous celebration of acceptance – both by others and oneself. Tackling universal teen themes of identity, relationships and friendship in a gentle, clean story filled with thoughtful (though imperfect) characters, this series is brilliantly inclusive and has clear crossover appeal.
