First off I want to say, this was my first time reading a manga like this that focuses on cross-dressing. I always envied people who knew what they were and what they want to present themselves as wheter presenting as either masculine or feminine with the way they dress and their attitude. I shut myself from the people around me like Hiura. Because I lack the confidence now to face my old friends.
So when I continued to read this off of a funny premise of "Omg my guy best friend looks so cute when he dresses up like a girl"!! The more I read it the slowly I realized. "Why is Hiura relatable" and wait there not doing the "well technically he dresses up as a girl, so its not gay". The fact that this manga always emphasizes the fact that Hiura is a guy, but he likes wearing dresses and puts on make up. And Midou and Hiura are in fact boyfriends, that are both supportive of each other.
I suddenly realized that, I can be like Hiura. Well not getting the boyfriend part but more like. Explore what do I want to present myself as. Sure I can be confused whether or not I want to change my gender or not. But I want to work on how I would present myself to the world. This manga may be cliché or are upset at the fact that Hirua is still a guy and not really a girl. But it made me reflect on a topic that was always haunting me for a while since my puberty started.
