Synopsis
Transgender woman Maho and her neighbor Fujiko find companionship and acceptance in each other while navigating societal expectations and labels.
A slender waist, model-like height, and nice makeup make Maho Ryoutarou look amazing every day. Although Maho once lived as a boy, she now does not pay mind to different things people call her—transgender or even a drag queen—as long as she can be her true self outside of society's existing labels. More than anything, Maho wishes to escape the label of a "man." When Maho meets her new neighbor, Fujiko Kouzu, she gains a wonderful friend who effortlessly sees past the exterior and falls in love with Maho as a person. Fujiko has her own unsavory past and complicated family, always uncomfortable with the world's expectations of women. The two find the comfort and companionship in each other that they have longed for, all while trying to claim their spot in a world that lacks understanding.Included one-shot: Tinker Bell no Hanzai
