A girl who's a girl and a boy who's a girl both fall for the same guy, and the show treats all three like actual people instead of a setup for jokes. The love triangle stops being a love triangle the moment you realize what it's really about: two people figuring out who they are, and one person learning to love them anyway. By the end, you're not rooting for anyone to "win", you're just hoping they all survive knowing themselves.

Makoto Hanaoka is a senior at school whose beauty draws admiring looks from students like first-year Saki Aoi. When Saki works up the nerve to confess, Makoto reveals his secret: he is a boy who dresses as a girl. He expects her to be put off, but she does not mind at all. He turns her down, saying he has never been in love, and Saki vows to become his first love anyway. She goes to Ryuuji Taiga, Makoto's childhood friend, for advice, only for Ryuuji to realize he may have feelings for Makoto too. Makoto, unsure whether he can love someone before he learns to love himself, ends up at the center of a love triangle in a romantic comedy with dramatic moments, based on a manga by Pom.
