This time they do a riff on Romeo and Juliet, with generous helpings of fantasy and mystery. Nitori-kun and Chiba-san write the script together, but Chiba-san has an agenda: She wants to play Romeo, with Nitori-kun in the role of Juliet. But Nitori-kun wants Takatsuki-san to play Romeo&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>With her usual prickliness, Chiba-san forces Nitori-kun to confront a question he&#8217;s been avoiding. Are his feelings for Takatsuki-san those of a boy for a girl, a girl for a girl, or a girl for a boy? But you know what they say of the best laid plans of mice and men: The cast is to be decided by fate, with names drawn randomly.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Maho plans a trip to the beach with her boyfriend, but her parents send Nitori-kun along as an unwilling chaperone. Faced with unwanted changes to their growing bodies, Takatsuki-san discovers the wonders of &#8220;breast binders,&#8221; and Nitori-kun explores the limits of his ability to &#8220;pass.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wandering Son (Hourou Musuko \/ \u653e\u6d6a\u606f\u5b50) Vol. 6 by Shimura Takako Wandering Son: Volume Six 220-page black &#038; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":145362,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[28020,52616,39448,152505,152508,44287,5183,24718,13345,152507,44289,2588,152506,37075],"class_list":{"0":"post-145361","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-japanese-anime","8":"tag-book","9":"tag-books","10":"tag-comics-literary-genre","11":"tag-fantagraphics","12":"tag-graphic-novel-literary-genre","13":"tag-hourou-musuko","14":"tag-manga","15":"tag-preview","16":"tag-reading","17":"tag-shimura-takako","18":"tag-takako-shimura","19":"tag-trailer","20":"tag-wandering-son-comic-book-series","21":"tag-37075"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145361","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=145361"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145361\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/145362"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=145361"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=145361"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=145361"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
