This anime is amazing,
"I also have the same thing like Shuichi Nitori but i never thought of being a girl.
I didn't dress up as a girl nor act as a girl, but people make fun of me, laugh at me, though i haven't done anything wrong with them.
I heard some of them were saying i look like a girl, some mistakenly thought i was a girl.
But i don't see myself as a girl,
I am a boy, but different to those ordinary boys.
I'm not saying i'm special, just somehow..not like the typical ones.
I became conscious and nervous when going out.
Wish i was (read more)

Just finished this anime and it is really great. Different from other typical anime, this is thought-provoking and the story is really well plotted out. The way they depicted the characters and the animation style was really awesome aswell.
If you're looking for something meaningful and are open to thinking about the examination of gender and gender roles with a cute backstory, this is it~
I loved it :)

Wandering Son shows a young boy who learns about love, puberty, friendship and identity; it explores the concept of growing up, from a child to a young adult. It’s a definite watch for people who are into the genre Slice of Life. No fancy frilly magic or over used sex scenarios, so if you’re into those genres this isn't the anime for you.

The story development was played at a reasonable pace, it’s a story line the almost anyone could relate to since everyone has been through the experience of puberty, with maybe the expectation of gender (read more)

Hourou Musuko is a very deep and touching anime, and especialy relevent to anyone who like me has gender issues or has ever thought they were caged by being "male" or "female"

A very thought provoking anime and it will be interesting to see where it takes us with future episodes.

A must watch for open minded people.
