18. Himegoto: Juukyuusai no Seifuku

This is a story of a group of college-age people who struggle with gender and sexual identity.

Yuki (nicknamed Yoshiki) is a girl, but she is terrible at 'being feminine.' She mostly dresses like a boy and is often mistaken as one. However, she has to wear a skirt and imagine being dominated by a guy in order to masturbate.

Nagao Mikako seems young and innocent, and she uses that apparent innocence to sell her body as a fake 15-year-old. She knows her youthfulness can't last forever, but she enjoys tricking the men. Her friends have no idea of her sexual habits and believe her to be sweet and sheltered.

Aiba Kaito is a pretty good-looking guy, but he wants to be Nagao Mikako. He often dresses as a girl, picking out clothes that mimic Mikako's style. Though he's into cross-dressing, he is still attracted to women.

Will these young adults and their friends be able to handle their 'guilty secrets' and muddle their way through this confusing period of their lives?

But serving the said individual was not easy… “Get out! I said get out! I’ve had enough of this!!! …Wait. What are you doing on your knees right now?” “Young master, if you’re going to throw it away, please throw it in my mouth.” I told him in a panic while pulling his arm back to stop him from throwing the vial. “I don’t care if you spray it on my face…” For a moment, his pupils dilated wildly. *** I’m a do-if-you-must kind of girl. While I was at it, I took good care of my master, who was my lifesaver. As well as serving him, I hugged him, carried him, and became his legs.

Now, I have recovered and repaid my gratitude. It was time to figure out my escape plan… But something was off about the young master. “You said you liked me so much, so where are you trying to run off to?” “…” “You said you’d die without me.” Gradually, he began to have the look of a hungry predator.
