This story is refreshing and very good. I was looking for something different, since everything I've been reading lately seems generic and cliché. I actually like it, but I wanted something different and something that would add something to my life, I don't know. At first, I even thought it would be that cliché story of a guy who starts to like and have feelings for a masculine girl, a Mulan-type story, I don't know. But I was impressed by the author, who brought up gender issues we see in our daily lives and gave depth to the characters, making them more real and making us empathize with them. It's really cool to follow this phase of self-discovery that the characters go through over time, which is something I'm also going through right now. The author also shows how impactful their upbringing is, showing that Akira has this self-esteem, autonomy, and self-knowledge thanks to their upbringing. It also shows how difficult, but important, it is to break bad family cycles. I also like that the author didn't reveal Akira's gender and left it open.
