i was looking so hard for this manga and i finally found it, so when i started
reading it i was so hooked that i finished it in one day, i think that the reason
why i liked a lot this manga is because it's not too dramatic, the main character is also simple mind,funny and makes you like her because she's not annoying it's not one of that shoujo mangas where the main female it's stupid and foolish and have the dream of being at the top of the world,the main male it's full of pride but at the same time he is kind and caring. ... the story it's simple, it's not too troublesome and it's easy to understand the situation, it's funny and the supporting characters are also simple and cool. other thing that i liked about it, it's that the story have as topic the bullying and im not saying that it's a very original topic because there are a lot of mangas that also use this topic but i think it was good because they werent too dramatic,plus is a real situation how far can a person go just for jealousy.
but the main point it's that you enjoy reading it, because it doesn't gets boring and each chapter it's different.


so if you have time you really should read this manga, you won't regret it.

Story: 8

The story ha snothing special about it. A typical manga about a student's life mixed up with attention from the media, jealous female students with raging hormones, a cousin who wants to be seen as an adult, and a guy who saves the day.Its another shoujo manga. But somehow, when i finished this manga, I wasn't really satisfied because, I wanted the story to continue, I fell in love with the overused plot and I just couldn't put the book down. Throughout the manga, the author has side notes,talking about her current addictions. Though there isn't any 'breaking the third wall' among the characters ... which is a method I really enjoy, she still manages to connect with the reader, and she's very humble. The story layout is very simple and should I say carefree. Its a really easy read without much intensity within it. A rather relaxing piece of work.

Art: 9
I'm not too particular about most art in mangas. In fact, my main concern is how the mangaka differentiates one character from another which she has done very well especially on Izumi's features. There are clearly times when Hikaru is drawn as the male component while Izumi as the female component which kinda destroy most shoujo manga cliches

Character: 10
The characters are so lovable. It really makes you wanna root for their love. Kudos to the mangaka for creating a lead female who is strong and isn't a retarded, dependent, annoying, air-headed girl which is found in many shoujo mangas.I honestly appreciate her silence. You can actually say, that the roles of the characters are switched because both characters portray personalities of the opposite gender. Izumi is seen as a more feminine while Hikaru is a strong opinionated male. However, both character's feminine and masculine sides are very well balanced.

Enjoyment: 10
I absolutely love gender benders not because of the comedy, but because of the vulnerability of the characters and when it is threatened, the characters take the most extreme measures to cover it up. ( I think it only happened twice)
Another reason is because we, the reader aren't left in the dark and seeing their genders being kept a secret really is out main interest.(that's why I dropped Girl meets Girl) And being caught up in the whole mess just makes you want more.

Overall: 8
This manga loses on its originality but then, when it comes to gender bender, I honestly just wanna see them make out, (I'm a little biased cause I didn't get to see more than a kiss) hide their secrets and fool everyone (suckers). And this manga has a more valid reason for a person to switch genders than most mangas which might make sense, might. I liked how the author ended it but I give it an '8' because I want MORE of it. I want to see everyone's reaction but that would just ruin the sweetness of it. I guess its up to my imagination to satisfy my lust.

"The cashier is over there ~> "
lol I love this phrase

This is a cute gender-bending manga set in the idol/entertainment world. Both of the main characters are very likable and supporting characters are abundant but easy to follow and keep track of.

I found that each volume moved well but always concluded on a good note so that you're not left with too much of a suspenseful cliff-hanger. The overall story follows Hikaru and Izumi's relationship as antagonists. They do eventually tolerate each other as well as become friends and ultimately realize their love for each other.

Izumi's boy/girl looks were very distinguishable. Reminded me of Yellow Belmont in Genesis Mospeada. Very convincing and very well ... illustrated. I enjoyed him the most from the series.

I highly recommend this title to those who are interested in gender bender titles like W-Juliet or Never Give Up.

Love, Love, Love!

This was an awesome manga to read! I honestly read it when I had time in a few days.

A romantic love triangle between a male teacher, a female student, and a female idol, who is actually a guy.

There are some interesting plot twists that I honestly didn't expect. (With the teacher and student.)

I don't reallly wanna reveal all even though I want to, so your mission is to go on ahead and start reading this manga right now. You'll be hook since chapter one, I promise you won't regret it!!!!

I just finished reading so I am still geeked about this one. Here goes!
This is now my new favorite manga. I read the first chapter online and was so hooked that i bought the rest of the volumes.
This story is a really sweet romance, thats not described in kiddy terms (i.e. i like you, do you like me?). The author allows the love between the two main characters to grow, develop, become jealous, and flicker throughout the series. I loved how thoughful the author was to not make the romance of high school kids too adult. Each volume leads to the next so ... you just keep reading and reading, so additctive. The story line is similar make up to w-juliet and never give up. It gives a lot of situations within entertainment but its not based on that (like in w-juliet). The story is about the development and love life of a girl who has no self worth, and how the boy she loves allows her to stand on her own proudly. There isnt much humor so if you are looking for comedy this one isnt for you; a wonderful romance read not too heavy on the drama, light but no fluff with some occasional pg -13 moments. I loved it.

Let me start off by saying that this is a very light hearted manga! I enjoyed it because it was a very chill read. This would be good to read after reading some intense manga for recuperation haha.

The plot overall is a typical shojo plot. Theres a girl and she falls in love etc etc but it doesn't drag like a regular shojo manga normally does, which was extremely refreshing; hence why I said it's a very chill read. The story line progresses pretty smoothly and it was cute overall. The manga doesn't really have a lot of depth and therefore goes by quickly. ... There is a plot that is kinda serious but they don't really integrate it into the story too much. That can be seen as either a good or bad thing but I was looking for something simple so it satisfied me. That's probably why I wouldn't give this a 10/10 though. The plot honestly lacked depth and sometimes the way the characters reacted to situations was kinda unnatural. But I wasn't expecting much from the beginning so yeah I was okay with it.

Ultimately I would recommend this only if you're not looking for something with depth and just want a light hearted read.
