I Want To Take Off My Uniform

Akira is one of the most popular students in his class, yet he feels deeply uncomfortable with his friends and their shallow conversations. Despite this inner dissatisfaction, he plays it safe by simply going with the flow. Exhausted by the monotony of his social life, he decides to skip school on the day of the culture festival to watch a movie alone. There, he unexpectedly runs into Eishi, a bespectacled classmate widely regarded as a social misfit. What begins as a chance encounter quickly blossoms into a fast friendship. As they spend more time together, Akira discovers hidden sides of Eishi that he usually conceals from others—endearing traits that are almost too cute for words. This heartwarming story explores a tender young romance between a gorgeous boy at the top of the social ladder and an overlooked outcast at the bottom. The collection also includes the additional stories "Seifuku Sutetai?" and "15 Bu Go no Hanashi."
