Sweet, simple trans pre op rep but too short

Life as a girl may come easy to some but definitely not all... This is a pretty simple story, Miki is a smart , funny, cool, at times bitchy, fairly ambitious girl who loves fashion and has a job doing what she loves... while trying to avoid being called a monster, used as a punchline, or as an exotic accessory she lets us in on her day to day life with friendship work and lots and lots of fashion She also shows us the huge difference between how she is forced to act in society and what actually goes on in her mind. Raw, real and relatable all at once.

Her friendship with her childhood friend/classmate is lovely as he may show ignorance at times but also shows how people can adapt and at least try to understand, if they just take the time to care. Their interactions are mostly friendship goels, fun bickering, honest and fluffy...

The work situation has ints ups and downs but the colleagues are lovely making this an over all fluffy drama, easy to watch, easy to fall in love with them all and foremost showing trans people as human beings with dreams, aspirations, a boring day to day life and also happen to have to meet one or two idiots ere and there. They also show some other issues with both a flirt with class, issues, power relations, they question the institution of marriage and even mention potential domestic violence , all in 4 short (waay to short ) episodes. Yep , there is plenty of everything but I am willing to say that the friendship tops it all and is the true essence of this drama that makes makes this worth a watch.

Also Shison Jun did a really good job as Micky , and Machida Keita was just as crushable as ever... I may have fallen for them both here.... His smiles, Her smirky remarks... are highly entertaining .

Bingabilaty: high
Fluff: high
Romance: low
Friendship: high.

Definitely a show I recommend
