Despite being at the top of his class and the idol of all the "good girls," Fujimoto Hiroya yearns to trade his studious lifestyle for one that's more outgoing and carefree like Masaki's. Masaki, on the other hand, is considered an "idiot" by Fujimoto's friends due to his love for soccer and general disregard for academics. He's popular among the "normal" kids, with flashy clothes and bleached hair, but carries a reputation just as bad as Fujimoto's is good. Determined to make friends with Masaki, Fujimoto resolves to change his image and his life with dyed hair, new clothes, and a piercing. However, can these physical alterations truly change his inner self? This classic BL is written by the "dream-team" of novelist Koh Akizuki and mangaka Meiko Koide, tackling heavy issues such as homophobia, gay bashing, coming out, HIV/AIDS, promiscuous sex, rape, and suicide.
