Sweet, low stress romance
This show is quite simple and lacking in drama despite the premise: Haruka is a tall, awkward tomboy who has a crush on her coworker and begs Hikaru, a cross dressing makeup artist who looks fierce and fabulous, for advice on how to make herself more feminine and appealing. They become friends and Hikaru develops a crush on Haruka but struggles to reveal his feelings because he doesn't think she'll see him as a man and romantic partner.
The show treats the cross dressing premise very gently and there isn't a lot of hate or drama aimed at Hikaru. Most people are surprised when they find out he's not a woman and then shrug and move on. There's one person who reacts badly but it's resolved quickly in the story. The show focuses more on the self esteem of both leads as they think others won't accept them for who they are. The side characters are nice, especially the man who is interested in Hikaru and the girlfriend of Haruka's crush.
I really enjoyed the story but couldn't rate it higher than 7.5 because there really isn't much of a plot, just some sweet interactions and misunderstandings between the leads that resolve fairly quickly.
