Toxic gendering of kids hurts me too see, I’m just glad my parents did the “pirate princess” type of gendering, which I can explain as me and my sibling climbing trees in pretty dresses, and getting our cute pink identical dresses all muddy from swimming in a flooded playground.
Despite years of meeting her parents' expectations by doing well at school and being a "good daughter," Aiko finds herself home alone most nights. After yet another birthday without her dad, she discovers that he had actually wanted a son, not a daughter. So she decides to become the son her father always wanted in hopes that they'll finally spend quality time together. Will her plot be enough to convince her dad that she's just as good as a boy or will others just ostracize her and leave her more alone than before?
