"Maybe I could have chosen something different..."
Keito is a late-20s company employee who's planning to get married as a "woman," despite not feeling cemented into a specific gender or sexuality.Meanwhile, Aya is a married woman in her 50s who continues playing out the role of "wife" despite being in a marriage that's long since gone cold.
They both struggle with a gender that was decided upon birth and the "wife" role that became nothing more than a pantomime at some point.
This is a story of two queer people who harbor doubts about how they've been treated and shoved into a "normalized" box, and try to take back their true selves.
Minami Q-ta is a non-binary manga artist based in Japan, with over two decades of experience crafting powerful character-driven stories that have been serialized in numerous josei and seinen manga magazines. Some of their notable works include Ball & Chain, Not All Girls Are Stupid, and Pop Life.
