Boku ni Natta Watashi is funny and well drawn but that's about as far as it goes. Momoke is naive and very stupid, to the point of being embarrassing. She has no backbone but is very stubborn and of course is too nice for her own good. Itou is the perfect man(that's right, not one single flaw), which of course makes him actually boring and gives you a tooth ache after a while.
The whole series makes you roll your eyes and shake your head. Nothing about this series is really possible and it's mostly just ridiculous. I'd never read this manga again

The story line is original, and well thought out. While there has been other story's about Girls trapped in an all boys boarding school, I do not believe the cause of that has ever been done before. To be honest the couple is just a little too perfect, and the author could have added a bit more conflict on Kunio's part. All the conflict in the story seems to be Solly focused around Momoko.
The characters have great depth to them. Momoko is your average girlie-girl, who loves shopping, hanging out with her friends, and talking about boys, but by the end of the Manga ...

Frankly, when I get to reading a shoujo manga I don't really expect depth of story and/or character, and those low expectations are rarely wrong. It's the same with this particular manga. The plot of a girl entering an all-boys school pretending to be a boy is nothing new. The fact that she is a rather complacent, passive character opposed to a strong, protective male lead is also nothing new. Basically, Boku ni Natta Watashi offers nothing new. There are hints of examining the established gender roles, but the mangaka does not go into it deeper - she keeps it superficial - as if all

I'm not probably the right person to write a review as I read only three chapters, but at the same time I do not intend to read any further. Why only three chapters? I almost stopped reading after the second chapter after a comment "can I be your sex slave" but my curiosity got the better of me and continued on reading.
I love benging genders, shojo, harem etc. and my inner fan girl squels in pleasure when I can find all these themes in the same story. But this one? Don't bother. Yes, the art is nice and I like everything else except the plot. ...

Saving your brother's acceptance into a prestigious all-boy's school by pretending to be a boy and binding your chest everyday is what Momoko Takanashi intended to do, or so what her mother forced her to... only to meet the handsome and elite Itou Kunio.
Boku ni Natta Watashi (I Became a Boy) is all about Momoko Takanashi's adventures inside the all-boy's school and dormitory as she struggles to live a life as a boy without getting caught and trying to find love in the form of her roommate, Itou Kunio. This happened all because Momoko's twin brother ran away to pursue his dream of becoming a ...

I would recommend this manga to anyone who enjoys the shoujo-romance category.
My review here is going to be extremely blunt, so let's cut right to the chase. I did NOT like the characters at all. Itou was a like a male Mary Sue to the point where it made me cringe. I would have liked to see some flaws in him as to some character development. On the other hand, we have an airheaded and stupid heroine who did not leave an impression for me, going by the name of Momoko. Momoko and Itou just happen to become roommates, and from that point on the ...

i loved this manga, the only thing is thats its a little bit short. Very funny and stupidly romantic! But there could have been more character development and a better storyline. I really liked the way Itou was portrayed, he was kinda like a badboy/overprotective/calm boyfriend. He always shows up when momoko is in a sticky situation and danger. May seem silly but i really enjoyed it (: I didnt like the end very much because i didnt get to see momoko and itou together as girl and boy haha. I also enjoyed the art of this manga! tho i think Momoko should have
