Otonari Complex Vol. 01

Otonari Complex Vol. 01

An endearing manga about childhood best friends–a “girly” boy and a “boyish” girl–working through their feelings about identity and love.

Kuji Akira and Ninomiya Makoto are childhood friends and neighbors. Since Akira is “handsome” for a girl and Makoto is “pretty” for a boy, their gender presentation is often confused. As they try to untangle their complex feelings about themselves and each other, they find out their friends are crushing on them, too. It’s a complicated childhood friend love story!
