Summary
Karamatsu learned how to put on a mask. A mask that was at first heavy to wear, but eventually became a part of him. And with every passing moment this mask would become more illustrious and realistic that even he himself was fooled by the act. But what no one could see was how fragile this mask was, and how behind its perfect, happy features was more pain and lacking self-confidence than anyone could imagine.
One day the act became too real, and Karamatsu’s flawless mask slowly began to crumble. And behind that mask was a girl who’d never seen the light of day.A story focusing on Karamatsu's transition to Karako, and the struggles she faces in becoming herself.

Fully contained narrative up to chapter 20
okay wow... felt so many things, really genuine look at transness and transitioning. The final five chapters set up a really good thread re:difference in sexuality versus gender and where they intersect. Really wish it was a completed work, reads like a lot of heart went into this story. Would've enjoyed watching her go from baby trans trying to fit in with conventional womanhood into the bold babe girlymatsu we know and love
One of those you could divorce from the source material completely and read straight (with a little bit of filing)
Def worth a reread in the future (despite reading it twice already lmao)
ALSO I LOVE KARAKO SO MUUUUUUCCCHHHHH oh my god my sweet sweet scared little girl I just want to scoop her up and take her shopping and to a proper therapist (love ichiko but karako needs someone she's not friends with to dump on)
transgirl Karamatsu is so canon in my heart of hearts -
