After Becoming a Boy

[A coming-of-age story about a shy, sensitive girl who becomes a boy.]

[No anxiety or drama, just a slow-paced slice of life that’s easy and relaxing to read.]

Shirai Mio was only helping the science club move a few boxes.

She never expected that

When she woke up the next morning, her voice was lower, her shoulders broader, and her legs longer…

But inside, she was still the same girl as last night, afraid of the dark and bugs, and easily embarrassed.

What pushed her over the edge was this:

Her whole body had changed on the outside, but the most important part had not changed at all. Not one bit.

A gentle-looking, handsome boy stood in the mirror, eyes wide with panic

And that boy was her.

“I was only trying to help! I didn’t want to turn into this!!!”

As she clutched her short hair, on the verge of tears, her phone lit up.

A message from the science club’s genius girl:

[Please stay calm and attend school as a boy as usual.]

Mio: “How am I supposed to stay calm?!?!”

The rest of her life would be a hundred times more chaotic than that message.
