I really enjoyed how this volume went into depth on what being a brand is all about. This volume had a lot of thought provoking moments. I felt very inspired, reading them.
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.

With things cooled down, the boys can finally focus on their brand once again. I loved the mentor relationship they form with Joe, especially after getting rejected by the shop owner once again. That whole storyline was inspiring, and gives Ryo the courage to live completely out and proud. A great overall ending to the series!

“Mom, Dad…I’m sorry. I’ve been thinking and worrying a lot about how to be “me“, and how to relate to others. I still do. I’ve done a lot of different things and met a lot of people, taking it one step at a time. So please…just watch over me. I hope you’ll try to live together…with the boy I am now.”

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.
