The nail that sticks out gets hammered down. That is a proverb that points out an important aspect of the society in Japan. Standing out means becoming an easy target. Envy, lust, fear, prejudice, hate, and any other pent-up emotion is directed at these scapegoats. This short manga is entirely built on this viewpoint. You have two teenagers who stand out for very different reasons and who suffer for that. The spirited Mizuno and the quiet Chayama find salvation in each other and develop an intense relationship. Interesting that the two girls are not targeted by their classmates and society because of their sexuality. Theirconnection is somewhat of a treasure they wish to keep undercover. Imagine how much more the two of them would stand out if others knew. I really like how both Mizuno and Chiyama are very well fleshed out and have actual personalities of teenagers trying to figure out who they are and the world of adulthood around them. Great artstyle. Compact and elegant storytelling.
