From Fantagraphics:
Middle School. The threshold to puberty, and the beginning of the end of childhood innocence. Shuichi Nitori and his new friend Yoshino Takatsuki have happy homes, loving families, and are well-liked by their classmates. But they share a secret that further complicates a time of life that is awkward for anyone: Shuichi is a boy who wants to be a girl, and Yoshino is a girl who wants to be a boy. Written and drawn by one of today’s most critically acclaimed creators of manga, Shimura Takako (Even Though We’re Adults), Wandering Son portrays Shuishi and Yoshino’s journey with affection, sensitivity, and gentle humor as they figure out their respective genders and take tentative, age-appropriate steps toward transitioning.
