Teen Masking

By Gloria Dura-Vila

Ayame, Hamako, and Tadashi are all starting a new school, but while everyone else seems to know how to fit in, they're each hiding parts of themselves.

Ayame, who prefers her loyal cat Chuu to people, changes everything about herself to fit in with the 'popular' girls.

Hamako, who is obsessed with marine biology, struggles to sit still and hide how they're feeling.

Tadashi, who loves computers and history's civil rights advocates, abandons his morals to fit in with his softball team.

Through engaging manga-style storytelling, follow their journeys as they navigate relationships, identity, burnout, and belonging. Alongside their stories, discover what masking is, why neurodivergent people do it, how it negatively affects your wellbeing, and how you can unmask, find your own identity and advocate for yourself.
