Once again I really enjoyed this instalment in the series, it’s my least favourite but still a solid 4 stars. After the cliffhanger of the previous volume, this follows straight on and how the revelation impacts Ryo (the mc who has a clothing brand with friends Jin and Itsuka). Another prominent storyline is that if Tsubasa (the YouTuber Wing who made a video with the boys) and their own identity crisis and past which was interesting to follow. Their cousin/assistant Yutaka was such a great character and I absolutely loved him. I liked how the feelings of ‘otherness’ were explored in this volume together with the power that cloths can provide and was great to see Ryo really accepting himself proudly. The best message was that of following our own path despite it possibly (likely) being a harder one and the courage that it takes to do so.

This one I feel like it was a great dissection of who has the right to info. Getting out sucks massive amounts of ass, and I wouldn’t know what to do if I was Ryo getting outted on the scale he did. It took guts facing it all. But I also appreciate the nuance of gender and sexuality and coming out.
