I Cross-Dressed for the Irl Meetup 3

＂Cocoa＂ has found belonging in an all-girl who meet up for sweets. There’s just one problem: Cocoa’s actually a cross-dressing guy! What begins as a tense manga about online life turns into a lighthearted comedy about love, friendship, gender nonconformity, and what it means to be your true self.

Contains Volume 5 of the Japanese edition!

Cross-dresser Satoshi Morinaga, using the online handle Cocoa, lives for his monthly IRL sweets meetup group, whose members have now become some of his closest friends. What started off as a way to meet fellow sweets enthusiasts, Satoshi now realizes he’s fallen hard for meetup member and fellow cross-dresser Opera, whose real name is Kosuke Chiyoda. After confronting his feelings head on, Satoshi finally admits to himself that he has feelings for Kosuke--not just when he’s cross-dressing as Opera, but also when he’s presenting as his usual self. But there’s no way Satoshi can tell Kosuke how he really feels...or can he? A poignant declaration of love before his very eyes convinces Satoshi that he too cannot hide his feelings forever. So when the summer festival comes along, he decides it’s the perfect opportunity to make his move--and cross-dressing as Cocoa is just what he needs to give himself that final boost of confidence! But will Cocoa actually be able to do it...?!
