Based on what I've read so far I absolutely love this manga. Not only because of the importance of stories like this but also because of how well it's written. The art style is good, not outstanding by any means but it does not need to be. Characters and story are what makes it stand out. I love our main duo and their relationship with each other. The respect that Jin has for Ryo's gender identity is great to see. His reaction to Ryo's coming out as trans is perfectly written. In addition, we also get a really amazing teacher who helps Ryo figure out certain things. I really enjoyed their interaction and I hope she will stay as some kind of mentor or at least someone our main character can talk to.
I think one of the main reasons I like it so much is the pacing. If there is some kind of conflict, characters try to resolve it as soon as possible. Miscommunication happens and gets resolved through communication. So far there wasn't any prolonged drama that lasted several chapters (I only read 8 so far so who knows) but I think the author wants to portray this story as realistically as he can.
I cannot wait to see what will happen next and I am glad that this series will be published in English next August!
SPOILERS FOR CHAPTERS 5-8 (available in Japanese on comic-days.com)
I love the new character who got added to their group, Itsuka (逸香) a photographer for their brand. He adds just enough rationality to their craziness. I also enjoyed his little backstory and the addition of his father's failure to become a professional photographer just makes it more believable why he wants to become one. Also, hurray for supportive parents!
