While Mido already realizes how cute Hiura is, Hiura is only now realizing his feelings for Mido and is hiding them.

This series is keeping its cute tone and teasing us with Mido and Hiura getting together; which this is clearly heading towards. I’m enjoying a lot of this but watching Hiura just be happy exploring how he wants to express himself is the best part. Real life sucks so, I like this world where everyone is accepting so Hiura has this chance to enjoy his euphoria. Fingers crossed the real world can be this way, too. 4 out of 5.

*This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review.

Kenshirou and Hiura join the photo club so Kenshirou can try out new looks on Hiura and give Hiura a chance to make more friends. Now, Kenshirou has to come to terms with Hiura getting so much more attention, especially from other boys.

This manga is very sweet and I like watching the leads come together. I do have to make a sincere wish for real life to be as seamless, accepting, and supportive as it is in this manga but at least we have this positive message and see kindness; especially these days. And I really appreciate the colored pages to see the makeup and outfits pop. 4 out of 5.

Midou is one of the most popular boys in his school and his close childhood friend Hiura is considered quiet and glum in comparison. Hiura is also the only one who knows Midou’s secret passion for makeup and allows Midou to practice his skills on him. Midou completely changes Hiura from a plain quiet boy into a beautiful young girl. So beautiful in fact, Midou’s feelings towards Hiura change when Hiura feels more comfortable in the female clothing.

This is absolutely adorable. I like how progressive and understanding everyone is around Midou and Hiura. Not very realistic but in this case, it gives space in the story for the main two to workout their relationship and figure things out.

Since this is about make up mostly (and a bit of fashion) I wish more of this was in color so we get the full effect as readers. But I understand that’s expensive to print and a lot of work. I’ll take the color pages we get. 4 out of 5.
