A single tube of stolen lipstick unlocks an unforgettable summer
Suffocated by his rural hometown and the ruthless homophobic bullying he endures at school, Futoshi Mishima has only one escape: late at night, he swipes his mother’s lipstick and delights in quietly dolling himself up. So when that liberating lipstick slips out of his pocket one day, Mishima is at a total loss—until he finds his worst tormenter trying it on for himself. The two stumble into a summer of unprecedented freedom…but as they soon discover, freedom doesn’t come without a cost, and they may not be the only ones in town with something to hide.
