PUBERTY can be a tough time as one develops into a young woman, especially when that someone happens to be a boy.

Wandering Son is a manga by Shimura Takako that examines the lives of kids on the cusp of adolescence who face issues with their gender identity. Nitori Shuichi is a delicate, girlish-looking young boy who likes wearing dresses, while Takatsuki Yoshino is a handsome, boyish-looking girl who enjoys travelling to neighbouring towns disguised as a man.

Both attend the same fifth grade class and, over the course of the first volume, discover each other's secret yearning to be a member of the opposite sex.
