I truly love this manga, so forgive me for any bias. At its core Himegoto is a story about youth, and the methods in which characters aim to achieve and preserve what remains of it which in this story, primarily manifest in the form of their sexual expression and identities. It's extremely dramatic and it does involve a love triangle, though unlike many other stories, the circumstances and dynamic in it is extremely unique and interplays off each other wonderfully.

Every single of the main character's are amazing in their own way, and represent something different about sexual identity, with even one of the side characters being interesting in their own right and offering some entertaining perspective. My favorite part is simply the complexity of these emotions, rather then offering a surface-level analysis of oh I feel this way and hence want to act like this, it instead delves into the psyche and circumstances behind the way they are.

If you like psychological stories that explore sexual identity and just complicated feelings in general, then I think you'll like this. Then again, despite the fact that I dislike matters of sex in general, I still found a lot of enjoyment from this manga, so I would still highly suggest it.
