Enter our heroes; Nitori-kun is forced to wear a boy&#8217;s uniform while Takatsuki-san has to wear a girl&#8217;s! Yet one girl \u2014 Sarashia Chizuru \u2014 draws stares, whispers, and pointed fingers, because this long-haired beauty is wearing a boy&#8217;s uniform. Both Nitori-kun and Takatsuki-san are awed by the girl&#8217;s courage, but Takatsuki-san is particularly vexed by their own faintheartedness. They envy more than a few other students who experience such liberty in wearing either uniform and ponder what it ultimately means about themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Envy and jealousy are prominent themes in Volume 5: Chiba-san is jealous of Takatsuki-san, for whom Nitori-kun still carries a torch. Maho envies Anna-chan&#8217;s professionalism as a model. And Chii-chan&#8217;s loyal sidekick, Shiri Momoko, is intensely jealous of anyone in whom Chii-chan shows the slightest interest. And so our protagonists set off on the journey to adolescence&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wandering Son (Hourou Musuko \/ \u653e\u6d6a\u606f\u5b50) Vol. 5 by Shimura Takako http:\/\/www.fantagraphics.com\/wanderingson5 228-p<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":226437,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[28020,52616,39448,152505,44287,58483,24718,13345,152507,44289,2588,152506,37075],"class_list":{"0":"post-226436","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-hourou-musuko","13":"tag-manga-literary-genre","14":"tag-preview","15":"tag-reading","16":"tag-shimura-takako","17":"tag-takako-shimura","18":"tag-trailer","19":"tag-wandering-son-comic-book-series","20":"tag-37075"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226436","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=226436"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226436\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/226437"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=226436"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=226436"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=226436"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
