Ryō has to deal with the fallout of having a popular YouTuber out him as transgender. At first, many people at school are supportive, but that quickly diminishes as classmates start asking inappropriate questions about Ryō’s body and sexual attraction. Ryō skips school for a couple of days to do some soul searching while Jin and Itsuka plead with Tsubasa to take down the video. Ryō returns to school and announces to his whole class who he is and apologizes for his silence. No one is more hurt than Chika, Ryō’s crush, who admits she thought they were closer friends. Meanwhile, Tsubasa has an intimate night with a woman, and she posts a photo online that goes viral. This causes Tsubasa's fans to question Tsubasa and criticize them for potentially lying to garner views and profits. The "Boys" create a new shirt supporting Tsubasa and their right to some privacy.

Wow, I was really getting more into this series and this volume really blew me away. Way to really dive deeper into gender and public personas and expectations. How every reacts to Ryo is definitely telling and real to life. The brand is getting bigger and bolder, but on the team’s own terms. Here for it!

God, this series is perfect. I'm adoring every second of reading it. The way Wing learns to express themselves after their cousin stands up for them, the way the Boys Run the Riot trio encourages Tsubasa in their attempt to show that their gender is NONE OF ANYONE'S BUSINESS, and the ridiculously charming Jin who affirms his friends' desire to creates revolutionary, transcendent clothing with their cameras and designs was LIFE GIVING.
