A charming collection of unique short stories. The real meat of the manga is with the first story, "To Strip the Flesh," which follows a transgender man who has to weigh his own happiness against meeting his father's expectations. It's a refreshing portrayal of the relationship between a transgender child and their parent, and how they feel the need to repress their own identity to make their otherwise supportive parent happy. It's a story about breaking away from your parents' expectations, and recognising that you deserve to take control of your life and be happy, even if you risk hurting them. It's also a storyabout a father coming to realise that he doesn't know what's best for his child, and having to come to terms with his child taking a path to happiness that he doesn't really understand and that makes him uncomfortable. This is easily the most engaging and emotionally complex story in the manga, and this one is definitely worth the read, especially if you feel that your resonate with it's themes. The art and dialogue is nothing really special, and the characters don't stand out too much, but it's a well written story overall.

The rest of the stories are much shorter but all are unique and bring an interesting concept to the table. There's always a little twist to each story that makes them an interesting read despite how short they are. May as well check this one out as it's a very short read and you're likely to find something you'll enjoy.
