Then, and only then, the world melts away, and he can be his true self. One day, while out shopping, Ryo sees an unexpected sight: Jin. The kid who looked so tough in class is shopping for the same clothes that Ryo loves.

A transgender teen named Ryo finds an escape from the expectations and anxieties of his daily life in the world of street fashion.
