Episode 2: Dislike, Dislike, Hate ~Cry Baby Cry~

Shuichi and Yoshino are impressed with Chizuru's lively attitude, while Saori almost gets in a fight with Chizuru's friend, Momoko Shirai. Meanwhile, some second-year girls become agitated with Saori for not saying hello to them. Yoshino and Saori, who do not see eye to eye, join separate sports clubs, both of which are on the same court, which makes the situation awkward for their mutual friend, Kanako Sasa, who yells at both of them. Yoshino tries to patch things up for Sasa's sake, but Saori refuses to make up with her. Nine months previous, Saori, who liked Shuichi, got angry at Yoshino because he liked Yoshino, and Yoshino got angry at her for always making her out to be the bad guy. Shuichi and his friend Makoto Ariga convince Yoshino to make up with Saori and Sasa and they, along with Chizuru and Momoko, go together to get ice cream. Saori admits she was wrong for not greeting the second-year girls, which evokes laughter from Chizuru.

Wandering Son

TVFINISHED2011
Fifth grader Shuuichi Nitori is considered by most to be one of the prettiest girls in school, but much to her dismay, she is actually biologically male. Fortunately, Shuuichi has a childhood friend who shares similar feelings of gender dysphoria: the lanky tomboy Yoshino Takatsuki, who, though biologically female, does not identify as a girl. These two friends share a similar secret and find solace in one another; however, their lives become even more complicated when they must tread the unfamiliar waters of a new school, attempt to make new friends, and struggle to maintain old ones. Faced with nearly insurmountable odds, they must learn to deal with the harsh realities of growing up, gender identity, relationships, and acceptance.

Lauded as a decidedly serious take on gender identity and LGBT struggles, Takako Shimura's Hourou Musuko is about Shuuichi and Yoshino's journey to discover their true selves as they enter puberty, make friends, fall in love, and face real and difficult choices.

Note: The full version of Hourou Musuko was originally intended to be 12 episodes, but the programming block it aired on only had space for 11 episodes. Therefore, episodes 10 and 11 were edited together and aired on TV as episode 10. Episode 12 was aired on TV as episode 11. The full versions of episodes 10 and 11 were included on the BD & DVD releases and are included in the Hourou Musuko Specials entry.
