Tbh I have no clue why this has such a low rating. I tend to rate things lower than average and I was surprised that a manga like this didn't even break 7.25! This isn't your typical shoujo; it deals with topics rarely seen in shoujo, such as identity, what it means to be happy, making it refreshing and worthwhile.

Unlike typical shoujos, the mc isn't some weak and helpless girl waiting for love to save her. Instead, she's a truly admirable character that you'll come to love for sure. The same can be said for other characters too.

The art is simple and fits the mood ...

This series was better than I thought it would be. It wasn't your typical shoujo manga where girl falls in love with boy and boy doesn't like her at first and then he does and then they get together and have trouble trying to stay together.

The manga shows them slowly getting out of their trauma and becoming the better person.

Another thing is that it doesn't only focus on romance, it also focuses on a group of young people who are struggling. It shows how even though Itaru is ...

This was a good read, basically this poor girl that is so bullied at her school she breaks in hives when people touch her comes across three rich boys, among which the richest is Itaru, a bratty heir that feels trapped due to their gender identity; they disappear, and the one closest to him, Ryou, contracts her to be a stand in until they find them for their coming-of-age ceremony, after this she truly needs to go through many tribulations: Ryou is aggressive and dismissive of her because of her status, she needs to change her physical appearance and personality so people don't suspect her, ...
