I want to start off this review commenting on the title on MAL since i heard complaints about it. "Genderless" is misunderstood by people going into this expecting a genderless character. The official English title is, "My Androgynous Boyfriend", which is more accurate for him personally. BUT to clear the misunderstanding, it was likely titled this due to a Japanese sub culture called "genderless fashion". Self explanatorily, its fashion with no gender and as he is androgynous appearing, and tends to gravitate towards stereotypically feminine clothing, this title makes sense.
SO if you're going into this manga expecting it to be about a non binary

“Genderless” refers to a Japanese street fashion style where men dress cute and in ways that could be defined as feminine. This manga isn’t here to make a statement about gender identity. The main character very much identifies as the gender he was assigned with at birth.
Now that’s out of the way, this is a cute slice of life story about Meguru, a man interested in fashion, and Wako, his girlfriend who works in publishing and who is his biggest fan and supports her boyfriend in every way. They have a lovely relationship where Meguru acts as a househusband and is extremely loyal and caring ... Dec 1, 2019
The title hereof is confusing many with the "genderless man"; it seems to be interpreted by many as "a man sans a gender identity" which is a contradictio in terminis. It should be noted that the /Japanese/ term "zyendāresu" is a /fashion/ term; it's a contemporary style of androgynous fashion in Japan.
That out of the way, many expected a series with a title like this to be about gender identities; it is absolutely not and never really mentioned; it's simply about a fashion model and his domestic partner and what their live is about.

TLDR; a really light-hearted well written and easy to read manga. There is nothing stressful or challenging about it. The conflicts are minor at best and are resolved with ease that contributes to the stop bond the two main characters share, whilst also inducing a slight sense of drama.
The story, characters and events are all representative and reflected in the art style incredibly well. It's solid, well drawn and really nice to flick through, one can enjoy the artwork casually by quickly flicking through each page or can derive pleasure by examining the panels further. It is the style that makes it so ... |
