Synopsis
"Buddha, I beg you. Never let that terrible thing happen to me. I beg you. Let my body remain the same, never change. I beg you."
Shane

Shane is a 12-year-old Asian girl. But in her fantasy she becomes an adult man. She is often reproached for her boyish behaviour by her mother, who insists that Shane conforms to the gender role expected of her. She is torn between the two sides. As Shane reaches puberty, she has a hard time accepting her growing feminine body. She becomes depressed and resists going to school.
