Synopsis

At Momoyama High School, an all-girls school, the blunt and outgoing Chitose Hayami meets the timid and cute Yae Sakura when she offers to help her separate trash that was put in the wrong bin. Admiring Yae's kind heart, Chitose nominates the two as class representatives against Yae's will.

Later that day, to Yae's surprise, Chitose confesses her feelings to the former, telling her that she resembles her first love. In return, Yae explains that she was rejected by her middle school crush, a girl, and therefore hates being a girl herself. Chitose replies that she loves Yae the way she is. Enraptured by the sentiment, Yae begins to spend more time with Chitose.

Centered around the relationship that blooms between the two girls, Hanjuku Joshi explores the depth of human sexuality and the way adolescents view themselves and each other.

Hanjuku Joshi just might be changing the face of what we think is perverted and what is actually a portrayal of physical expression of passion.

I've never read ecchi manga before, but after hearing good things about Hanjuku Joshi in yuri circles, I thought I would give it a go. What I was expecting was lame fanservice and ugly, unromantic sex scenes full of shallow girls just doing it for doing it's sake and to titillate the audience.

How wrong I was.

What Hanjuku Joshi paints is a lovely story about two girls who fall in love with one another, and explore both sex and sexual desire with ...

Yet again we have another Yuri, Romance set in an all-girls school and Hanjuku Joshi may seem like any typical sweet story; however there’s more to it than meets the eye and I’m not just talking about the mature, girl-on-girl action.

Yae is a girl who’s never felt comfortable about being such a girly girl, so she enrols into an all-girl’s school, in order to feel more at ease with herself. It’s there that she becomes close friends with Chitose, the tomboy of the school and it’s not long till Yae begins to develop feelings beyond that of ‘just friends’. Well so far there’s nothing out ...

Story-9: I have to admit, the concept for this story is pretty interesting, you almost never see girls who have feminine complexes in manga, and if you do, they always end up being colorful characters that you grow to love. And the side story with Mari and Ran was a little bonus that I enjoyed, teacher x student stories always end up being more perverted then they should be but this one was handled nicely with the student taking part as the seme in the relationship, which is another rarity, and as well as the student x teacher pairing being yuri, well that just makes ... the story all the more interesting and fun to read in my opinion!

Art-10: Okay, the artwork in this manga was just beautiful, all of the characters were adorable in their own ways and the author did a beautiful job with the landscapes and background as well as displaying emotions with the characters. I couldn't find a single error in the artwork and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Character-8: Okay, the characters are my favorite parts of this story. The first main character, Yae, is an adorable girl with a feminine complex and wishes that she could be a boy, she hates her short stature, her round face, and her large breasts (g cups...) Her lover, is her classmate, Chitose who is known around the school for being boy-like and is open about her attraction to girls and quickly took a liking to Yae. Seeing a relationship between those two is just adorable to me and I loved the way their relationship progressed in the two volumes. And the side story with Mari, a student who is known for being promiscuous and goes out with all sorts of different boys, and Ran, her teacher who holds unrequited feelings for her best friend that are soon switched to Mari. Now this relationship is very interesting since you hardly ever see a teacher x student story that is so sweet and loving and not overly-perverted like most stories with those kinds of pairings are. And the fact that these two are girls may just add to the sweetness of the story.

Enjoyment-9: I thoroughly enjoyed this story through and through. Each chapter was sweet and slightly short but the story was easy to pick up and enjoy with the casual pace and gentle aura that is portrayed through the story. I could not- for the life of me- stop reading this story until I was done with it because I enjoyed the story so much. The concept is original and the story is just wonderful!

Overall-10: I have to say, this is the best Yuri manga i have ever read. The story was sweet, the characters are loveable, the artwork is adorable, so this is highly recommended by me. If you can get past the little sex scenes and the nudity and the same-sex female relationships, you'll enjoy this manga! But if you're a close-minded person who doesn't like girl x girl sex scenes or don't like the idea of yuri, then I wouldn't recommend this series.
