Wow, it's finally over!
The whole memory loss thing was a little corny but it was very sweet how it was resolved.
What a cute ending. :)

Aww, a cute ending although expected. Good to know the feelings are mutual I guess but this manga felt a bit dragged towards the end.

I think I'll rate this a 6/10...

Was kind of hoping his father would go back to being his father (I never got the feeling his father actually wanted to be a woman, he was a lot more like Asuka and just liked girly things). Anyways, the ending was with his memory being awoken by a kiss, corny as hell, ugh.

As far as this series goes, it wasn't great, it wasn't terrible, it was sort of just meh. It had its funny moments but the author was so focused on making Asuka be "girly" that it really never felt like a romance at all, just a tom boy and a girly girl. In fact Asuka in my opinion was a poorly done character, Ryo wasn't much better but the combination was just gimmicky and kind of disjointed. The plot was not really their either, and pretty much every male character aside from like 2 or 3 ended up being an otomen so it kind of just came across as horrendously repetitive. This might have made a better series if it was just 2-3 volumes but I really didn't like it a whole lot. 5/10 for me.

The memory loss thing WAS corny and made me keep my rating at 8/10. (I was considering on giving it 9/10, but then that happened. XD) I wish the series focused more on Asuka and Ryo.

the ending was a bit cliche, and the emphasis on asuka's girliness and ryo's manliness was so forced and strained that it quickly became repetitive.

the side characters weren't that interesting either. an entire cast of nearly all otomen is a bit much. i personally liked juta and that's about it.

overall, 5/10. would have been better if the series was a lot shorter instead of 18 volumes.

contrary to the many mid-ratings everyone's given, I actually really liked this a lot. Until the memory loss arc, though, as everyone already mentioned. It wasn't even necessary. And I don't quite like time skip endings either, I prefer the ambiguous ones.

Favourite character is Juta hands down. The manga subplot was always my favourite part of the manga and his character arc was pretty great too, though I wish it was expanded and more than just 74 chapters of 'i should tell him but i can't'. It somehow felt bittersweet when he said he stopped watching over them though :')
