Love Me for Who I Am

The art in Love Me For Who I Am makes it appear to be a moe manga, but the manga actually delves into some serious subjects. Love Me For Who I Am begins with one of the main characters, Tetsu Iwaoka, inviting his loner classmate Mogumo to work at his family's maid cafe. The maid cafe caters to a specific demographic by hiring only "girly boys." Mogumo, on the other hand, tells Tetsu that he should not assume someone's gender based on their appearance. Mogumo is actually nonbinary, which causes the cast to reconsider their gender stereotypes.
