Wandering Son

Shuuichi Nitori is a boy who wants to be a girl and Yoshino Takatsuki is a girl who wants to be a boy. They meet in grammar school and learn one another's secrets. They become able to confide in each other as they grow up.

Yoshino and Saori have started their new lives in middle school. Things continue to be awkward as they go through their day to day. They join the various teams at the start of the semester; Yoshino to basketball and Saori to volleyball.

Yoshino is shocked when she is told to start wearing a bra. Per Saori's suggestion, the class decides to do a gender bender play, in which boys play as girls and vice versa, for the upcoming cultural festival, with Yoshino suggesting that Shuichi write the scenario. The next day, Shuichi stays up late thinking up ideas for the play and ends up in the nurse's office along with Yoshino, whose distaste for wearing a bra helps Shuichi come up with the idea for his script. Later, as Shuichi and Makoto become concerned about when their voices might change due to puberty, they decide to do recordings of them as girls, which annoys Maho, who has a cold, and puts her in an awkward situation when her boyfriend, Riku Seya, drops by for a visit. Meanwhile, the class teacher decides to combine Shuichi's original story with Saori's idea for a modern Romeo and Juliet, so Saori invites Shuichi over to her house to work on the combined script. The next day, Shuichi notices Yoshino wearing a bra.

Shuichi starts to grow concerned about Yoshino, who has been spacing out recently. While writing his screenplay, Maho's colleague, Anna Suehiro, teases him to the point of making him cry. Meanwhile, Yoshino meets up with her transsexual adult friend Yuki. While at Shuichi's house, Saori comments to him about how his screenplay represents him wanting to be a girl loving a male Yoshino. The next day, Yoshino and Shuichi go out shopping for clothes, where he asks her to play Romeo in the play so she can see him as a girl. She accepts the role, but did not interpret it as Shuichi conveying his feelings for her. Meanwhile, Anna decides to buy Shuichi a phone strap, although he is not sure what she means by it. The next day at school, the teacher suggests that volunteers help Shuichi and Saori with their script, which aggravates Saori. When Saori invites Shuichi over afterwards, he states that despite being turned down by Yoshino, he still wants to become a girl for his own sake. Saori, who still has feelings for Shuichi, asks that he does not mention Yoshino in front of her again.

As the gang come over to Saori's house to work on the script, Saori reveals to Makoto that she intends to enter the running for the role of Romeo. Saori's friend from church, Fumiya Ninomiya, arrives and inadvertently reveals Shuichi's affinity for cross-dressing to the others, which annoys Yoshino. Shuichi accepts that Yoshino acts angry in his place. They eventually finish the script and celebrate with fireworks. Upon returning to school, the roles for the play are decided by a random draw, with Saori drawing Romeo and Makoto drawing Juliet. Annoyed with the outcome, Saori wants to make edits to the script so everyone gets killed off, though is eventually convinced otherwise. While delivering tickets to Yuki and Shiina, Shuichi and Yoshino run into Anna, who has the same phone strap she bought Shuichi. Meanwhile, Saori decides to do her best in her role as Romeo, encouraging Makoto to carry out his role as Juliet.

The cultural festival is underway, with some commotion caused when Anna brings popular model Maico, who Maho works with, to the event. Shuichi, Makoto and the others have fun in the haunted house before running into Maico, who Chizuru is a fan of. Yuki and Shiina pay Shuichi and Yoshino a visit while running through their lines. As the play starts, Makoto gets stage fright, but Saori and the others manage to give him encouragement and the play manages to become a success. After the play, Saori decides to give the flowers she got from Fumiya to Makoto, acknowledging that he made a good Juliet.
