Friendship, advocacy, and first love

In this second volume, Hime’s efforts to defend Akira collide with Akira’s wish to move through school without being singled out for her transition. Their disagreement gives the volume’s friendship story a specific tension: how to support someone without speaking over what they want. Akira’s role as soccer-team manager, prompted by a crush, adds another strain as Hime worries that their closeness is slipping. The manga brings together first love, changing friendships, and the difficult boundaries of allyship within a school setting.

Book overview


Being in love with your best friend is hard enough, but being a good friend is even harder. The second volume of the hit manga series about the complications of first love, friendship, and what it truly means to be an ally.


Hime thinks she's doing the right thing by sticking up for Akira, but from her friend's point of view, it's only making things worse. Akira doesn't want to stand out because of her transition. Her only wish is to enjoy school, to make memories like everyone else. But Hime's constant need to speak out on Akira's behalf is putting these two best friends at odds.

And when Akira becomes the manager for the soccer team because of a crush on a boy, Hime feels the rift with her friend growing wider. Although desperate to save her relationship with Akira, everything she tries only creates new problems. What if Akira decides she's done with Hime completely?
