A moving collection of six short stories that explores what must be stripped away to find the truth and celebrates the beauty of embracing who you are.

Chiaki Ogawa has never doubted that he is a boy, although the rest of the world has not been as kind. Bound by his mother’s dying wish, Chiaki tries to be a good daughter to his ailing father.

When the burden becomes too great, Chiaki sets out to remake himself in his own image and discovers more than just personal freedom with his transition—he finds understanding from the people who matter most.

Review of 'To Strip the Flesh' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Defy the parents who love you wrongly. This story shattered me when I read it a year ago, and I’m so delighted that it has an official translation available. It makes my chest tighten just thinking about it, one of those works that sticks to your brain and shapes you.
