In the Clear Moonlit Dusk

A live-action film adaptation is set to premiere in October 2026.

Yoi Takiguchi is a first-year high school student with a tall stature, deep voice, and a masculine appearance that often gets her mistaken for a handsome boy. At school, she is referred to as "Prince," and unintentionally earns the affection of some female schoolmates. Yoi seems to give up on changing this aspect of her life, as there isn't much she can do about her own appearance and other people's perception of her. However, Yoi's daily life changes suddenly when she meets Kohaku Ichimura. Besides his own incredibly good looks, this boy is rumored to be very rich, and therefore is also called "Prince" by their schoolmates; likewise being on the receiving end of many female students' affections. Although he mistakes Yoi for a handsome boy just as many others have, he quickly develops a crush on her. Not only does Kohaku make an effort to get closer to Yoi, but he seems to notice a side of her that others don't. After a series of interactions between the two, Kohaku offers Yoi an opportunity to try dating him as a test. Initially, she rejects him, but eventually she caves in and agrees, and after this development, the story continues to follow these two "princes" as they slowly reveal more of their true selves to each other.
