Unrelated to this story, but if you want a single love interest then I recommend "Ending Maker" and if you want a story where mc doesn't act indecisive around his harem like most Japanese light novels then I suggest "Tyranny of Steel" or "My three beautiful wives are vampires".
Very typical shoujo love story involving a boy and a girl, with the exception that the protagonist, Sara-chan, is trans. In my view, this doesn't elevate it much beyond mediocrity. However, as a transgender individual, I found myself enjoying the relatability of her everyday challenges.
The portrayal of the main character as a trans girl feels genuinely refreshing. There are those who dislike her, others who adore her, but most significantly, she takes pride in herself. She's an endearing character, and I appreciate how the story keeps her authentic to who she is. I'm thoroughly weary of the "trap" trope, so the fact that she isn't one is a major plus.
So if you yourself are trans, tired of "traps," or simply craving a light, charming shoujo, give it a try. It's extremely brief, which, while harming the pacing, ensures zero commitment. Nothing extraordinary overall, certainly not flawless, but its handling of trans representation makes it intriguing.
