I picked up a crowdfunding flyer for the movie at pride last weekend, so I had to check out the manga as well. It's four poignant short stories featuring trans girls at various stages of their transitions. The author is of course trans and the characters are spot on. The physical presentation of the book is very nice too, on thick paper with a pink, white and blue glitter on the cover.
Apparently the stories have been around on the net for a little while, so maybe there is an English translation out there somewhere?
Anyway, ยฅ1815 well spent. I recommend it if you read Japanese and can get hold of a copy.

Well the first three stories (in Japanese) are here:
I guess I can have a go at translating when I get a spare moment (assuming nobody else does).
