One of the few manga I would give a 10/10. It's a beautiful story about identity, and even if you don't find identity struggles personally relatable it's still a great read. Aside from that (I would have left it short and sweet, but it's demanding I make my review longer) The characters are written masterfully, and while some may come off as unlikeable, they realize thier mistakes, and they grow. The art is also beautiful, and the black and white, with occasional spots, or at times splatters of blue make what would otherwise be a well drawn black, and white manga pop with color, and ... personality. The reserved use of color is gorgeous.

Good story backed up with amazing art

--Artstyle

The art style is just perfect. The first panel would be like "wow, he's handsome" and the next panel "sh** she's beautiful"

The strokes went from rough lines to smooth and curvy

Perfect for this kind of stuff

... --The story

For me, the story is more like psychological than drama or romance

Sure, it does have a lot of drama/romance in it, but when reading it,
it felt like a scene when the character must choose two life changing options, but made into a whole story


--overall
Good story backed up with amazing art, obviously recommended

It was a masterpiece

The only reason why I am not giving this a perfect score is because this story isn't yet complete. Once it ends I will give another full review.

See, perhaps I'm biased, but this story is a masterpiece thus far. If you're queer (especially trans), or know someone who is, just curious, you should read this. Hell, I think everyone should read this just to understand.

The plot is so simple, like a dystopian novel. Only one aspect is added, and suddenly everything changes. Something so simple makes you question so hard, "What exactly is gender? What exactly is love?".

Only twenty chapters so far, but truly worth ... it. As a non-binary person myself, this manga confirmed it for me.
