The art style was amazing. And at the beginning I really loved the main duos friendship blossom, their dynamic was honestly amazing. I also really enjoyed watching the pov shift and see an outsider of the two.
I wasn't completely interested in the story line but I loved how it brought together all these interesting characters and do want to see them succeed. 
Also it was so refreshing to see a trans character!

Thank you to NetGalley and publishers for this free eArc! This is my honest review.

I received an advance copy from Kodansha Comics via Netgalley for review purposes. This in no way influences my review; all words, thoughts, and opinions are my own.

This is my first manga by Keito Gaku, but it was so incredible, and I look forward to more from him! And I'm definitely looking forward to the continuation of this manga.

I was immediately intrigued because rarely can I find manga starring trans protagonists, and especially synopses that clearly state that the protagonist is trans. I really enjoyed Ryo's story and especially his developing friendship with Jin and Itsuka; Jin's acceptance of Ryo saying he's a boy and the way they work together to design and develop their brand is wonderful to see.

I also really like the art style. It's really beautiful and the faces are all distinguishable and I love how expressive the art is.

All around this was an excellent start to a story of a trans teen starting a fashion brand and developing new friendships around that brand. I really enjoyed this, and cannot wait for the next volume! I'm also especially excited to see more of Tsubasa, a genderqueer character who's introduced in the last pages!
