No, this does not have explicit scenes. Yes, this is exactly what it shows: boys who like frilly dresses. And it's a weird story that proves that nobody should judge a book by its cover. It's basically about a coming-of-age story of finding friendship and a found family. I'm not really sure if Ichirou's leaving is foreshadowed enough, but still. It's the English title's problem (Thigh High: Reiwa Hanamaru Academy) because the Japanese title is Reiwa Hanamaru Gakuen, which means Reiwa Hanamaru Academy. The story is robust, but the English localization is trash. By adding 'Thigh High' to the title, the publisher ruined the social utilityof the book, making it impossible to recommend to a normal person without a 5-minute explanation.
