I also enjoyed the addition of the original one shot for boys run the riot. It was quite brutal, but it did well, delivering it’s message: Staying true to yourself, even in the face of adversity.
The content warnings are for the oneshot, at the very end of the volume.

Ahh, I’m very sad to see this series come to an end. What a privilege it was to see Ryo come into his own, and his friends do the same. I’m so incredibly proud of him. Stories centering trans experiences are important. Read them.
My only complaint for this volume is, well, that it’s finished. While the ending wrapped up in a way that was sweet and genuine, it doesn’t quite feel complete, because the end of this series is technically the beginning of their journey, if that makes sense. But for what we got, I still think it was lovely. I understand that this was meant to be a glimpse, and while a bummer, everything about this series was absolutely worth the read and I’m happy to own all the volumes.
What a delight, honestly.
Also, the short story at the end was brutal and stunning. I enjoyed it but watch out.
