Series Synopsis
The transition from child to adulthood can be scary. Our bodies begin to change in drastic ways. It is a natural process we all go through. Except natural doesn’t mean easy. Now imagine going through this period in a body that doesn’t feel right.
Shuichi Nitori (voiced by Kousuke Hatakeyama) was registered as a male at birth. But Shuichi has never been able to identify as such, wishing instead to be a girl. To assume the female gender, Shuichi has taken an interest in cross-dressing. Though this is more comfortable, Shuichi knows there are people who won’t understand.
Yoshino Takatsuki (voiced by Asami Seto) was registered as a female at birth but wishes to be a boy. Yoshino avoids wearing feminine clothes and has a more masculine personality. Yoshino's biggest hope is to stop being seen as a girl.
Shuichi and Yoshino have formed a close relationship with each other. In elementary school, they felt freer to express themselves. Upon entering middle school and the onset of puberty, this no longer feels possible.
