From an award-winning author comes this collection of four emotionally gripping stories about high schoolers' acceptance of themselves...and each other.

High school student Ichika has a secret. She allows Riku, her childhood friend and crush, to explore his interest in cross-dressing by acting as his personal dress-up doll: a canvas upon which he can present his ideal of feminine beauty. One day, an unexpected kiss upends this arrangement, sending Ichika fleeing in a panic. What was she really hoping for in their private meetings--and what does Riku want, deep in his heart?

And they’re not the only students in their class who struggle with love and identity. In this collection of four coming-of-age tales, teenagers grapple with hidden fears and secret desires as they search for themselves in a complicated world.
