An important junior high level story on gender diversity and acceptance. Each part features a different member of the social group. We don’t get the main character’s perspective until the very end. A good illustration of how gender is socially constructed and social identity is fundamentally social. I felt it dragged at times and it could’ve gone deeper on other matters of diversity and bullying. In that sense it felt like it tried to capture too much and only really did well on the gender part. Still, I haven’t come across a book like this for this age group in Japan … it could open eyes before they’re closed.
