While doing so, Ryo bumps into a fan named Joe, who has been running his own fashion brand for 20 years. Under his tutelage, Boys Run the Riot gets put to the test to think up their brand message, motif, and concept…in order to prepare for their brand’s debut at Joe’s exhibition! Meanwhile, Ryo and Jin must decide whether to hide from their families, or invite them along to the exhibition and reveal their true selves… The boys who once dreamed of changing the world with their clothes are now ready to take the stage, and they’re not exiting without causing a riot!

Praise for Boys Run the Riot 4

"Fashion can be a signifier of 'seeming feminine' or 'seeming masculine'. In that way, it has a certain metaphorical resonance with gender. Becoming trapped by that 'seeming' is painful, but, at the same time, you can change what you seem like. I liked that. ...

"Of course, 'transgender' is one label, but everyone's circumstances and experiences, as well as their emotional reactions, are different and can't be lumped together. This work draws on my own feelings, and I think the truths will pile up as I draw the story of Ryo's growth." -Keito Gaku, author
