Nozomu Nozomi is a primarily genderbender manga that stands out from it's peers for several reasons: it's fairly short and to the point, has full colour art throughout and treats it's sexual content in a interesting way.
Story 6/10:
Apart from what can be gleaned from the synopsis the story of NN is very much affected by the length of the series. With only two volumes to work with there isn't much time to go off sidetracks or moments that doesn't move the story forward and NN manages to avoid this to a satisfying degree. My main complaint here is that the ending, like many other

A fairly interesting approach to the gender bender genre. It explores both the anxiety, angst and changes in mind and body of the character at all steps of the transformation ( except for the sudden gender bending ).

What a shame - that the artwork was so good, but it was wasted on such a sleazy plot.
Really, the idea of gender bender comes with so much potential to explore open waters of psychology, gender norms, and so on - and this basically becomes a shell story about the mangaka fantasizing about the topic of youth sex culture, 'barely' touching on gender norms much less.

This sounded interesting but was just weird. Normally i like gender bender genre just because it tends to be funny and interesting. But this just annoys me more i guess. Now credit where credit is due. The Art and character designs are nice and we do get fully colored chapters. The first couple chapters are alright too i guess. I also very much like the sister in this. I kind of wished she got more screen time. I kind of wished this focused on her and not the MC. I also very much like the character design of her. I would have loved if when ... |
