Cinderella Boy is a fantasy comedy Boys' Love webcomic by Punko who also did Stagtown.
Chase Hollows, a fame-obsessed boy, finds a key that allows him to travel to any storybook and take the place of the heroine. Meanwhile, other forces are searching for his key, especially his rival, a handsome but malicious young man in possession of another key, who is determined to kick Chase out of the storybook forever.
