This is I
Overview
Inspired by the real-life experiences of Haruna Ai, the story follows a Japanese entertainer whose confident public image conceals a long and painful struggle with gender identity. From early feelings of dysphoria and social alienation to the weight of family expectations and public scrutiny, it traces the emotional cost of living a divided life. As isolation deepens, an empathetic doctor becomes an essential ally, offering both medical guidance and human understanding on the path toward gender-affirming surgery. Through moments of vulnerability, resistance, and quiet strength, the narrative presents identity as an ongoing process rather than a single transformation, emphasizing the courage required to live authentically in a society slow to accept difference.
