This is a touching and inspiring first vol. of a series about a trans boy learning to accept himself as he creates a clothing brand with the class "delinquent". The story had me laughing and tearing up in turn. It seems like a core theme in the story will be how people should accept their and others difference in order to be happy and fulfilled. The cast of characters are fun, each seeming to struggling with their own uniqueness. I'm excited for vol. 2 to see how the plot continues to evolve.

This is just a good ole silly romantic manga with a little magical twist. The mind reading has no real explanation, but with a plot like this you kind of have to suspend belief. Overall I enjoyed it.

This book completely sucked me in. I loved the use of language, and how well the author lays out the world. It felt a little fast passed at times but it was easy enough to follow. I especially loved Leonora and Inés’ relationship. I loved the side characters and can’t wait to see what comes next.
