Momoi Tomoki is a gloomy but hardworking teenage boy. When anyone sees him in his school uniform, they won't find a single fault with him. He's the perfect first year male student of B High. The customers he serves with a graceful smile without a complaint, have none to give. He's actually quite popular and easy to talk to. At home, he does the chores he's asked to do and seems like a son any mother would be proud of.

But that's not the truth. In reality, he's anxious, always trying to hide his true self. He knows he can't let anyone see who he truly is. He'd be a son, brother, student, friend and neighbour to be ashamed of.

Why? Because he's not like a boy should be. He likes pastels, his favourite animals are cute bunnies and fluffy doggies, his favourite TV shows are about magical girls, and his room is decorated as if he was a girl and not a boy.

In fact, he's not a boy! And that's the problem.

Tomoki is nonbinary, and he hates himself for it. He just wants to fit in and be like everybody else. Just how far does he need to go to be normal? When will the malicious words stop?

Or... is there a way for him to not suppress his true self?

Beyond the Horizon

Tomo was still in disbelief when he opened his mouth to bid his great-grandfather farewell. He needed to sort out his feelings about this and figure out if this was meant for him and if someone had betrayed his trust. 


he wanted to talk with Ken, since Ken might understand it better and figure out who said anything. 


But before he had time to speak, a voice came from outside the room. 


“Father, I would like to discuss something with you.” 


The gentle expression Shinnosuke had turned stern and cold. He looked toward the owner of the voice. 


“Kouki, I currently have a guest. Come back later.” 


“Of course. Take your time, it’s not urgent.” 


Shinnosuke glared. Even Tomo had heard the glee after hearing Shinnosuke had a guest. 


He waited for a long time until Shinnosuke’s expression relaxed.
