You are not gay but want to read lesbian shit without getting any weird sensation? here's the manga for you guys!

It is basically a guy who wants to date a girl, but turns out she's manphobic (fear of men). The story is decent to me but the art and characters are really high classes. Btw, this story is not suitable for you who don't like a cross-dressing dude since this thing is a huge plot machine in the story.

Since the story is already finished, imma make a review on this underdog manga.

Story (7): I think it is quite decent, there are not ... many sub-plot in the story. It is basically a straight to the point manga. Of course there's a love triangle inside the plot, but to be honest, it's not that annoying and the girls are really likable for me.

Art (8): Oh boy, the art is really cute. the characters design is making you melt into lava. You can get a powerful waifu material, guaranteed by me. Of course it is good in moe genre, not in general art design. For general, I would say (7).

Character (9): Like I said, the characters are likable, even side characters are really interesting to be relief characters. All MCs are high classes. They are all smart with powerful development in each chapter.

Enjoyment (9): It's a fun ride for me.

Overall (8): I want to give it (9), but I re-consider it since not all characters are explored by the author. This manga has crazy potential in the future if the author wants to make a sequel to it, but it is also fine if he finished it the way now.

Ookami Shounen wa Kyou mo Uso wo Kasaneru or, for short, Ookami Shounen is a harmless romantic drama. It almost feels refreshing with the lack of harem shenanigans and. especially, ecchi elements that pervade the romance manga landscape today. Unfortunately, it does nothing special outside of its unique synopsis. Keitarou's gender bending possess no significance except as facilitator for drama. Remove that unique plot point and it turns into your vanilla romance drama. But Ookami Shounen is an entertaining read nonetheless, it has cute moments and flashes of rapport between characters.

The highest praise I could give to this manga is that treats its characters ... as real human beings and give them agency that adds complexity. It enables great interactions between Keitarou, Botan, and Aoi. Unfortunately, its drama is hackneyed and superficial. It does everything competently but nothing great, making it perhaps the poster child of the inoffensive romantic drama (which I feel like is a genre that is almost non-existent). Ookami Shounen is short and it does not drag for long, making it a worthy read for any savvy romance manga fan.

This manga is utter garbage. I cannot for the life of me understand what the other reviews are talking about. It feels like alot came in with low expectations in the first place and were satisfied with this utter garbage of a love triangle story.

Slight spoilers ahead*

Keitarou is a shit protagonist, for a while at the end I thought he finally had potential but NOPE. He's generic as can get, other than the cross dressing gimmick he has nothing worth talking about,

Aoi started off boring and later on remained as such, I warmed up to her but still find her to be heavily one note ... and not that enjoyable to follow without someone carrying her through the chapter. (character wise.) And due to my dislike of Keitarou I found myself not enjoying her or their interactions with eachother,

Botan, jesus fucking christ, Botan. She is so stupid, so overly cutesy that it's annoying, so one note that I wanted to reach into the screen and dump her into trash where she belongs.

"Oh it's so cute" "Oh it's so harmless." "It's not groundbreaking but soooo cute"

When you have nothing genuinely good to say other than the art style being good, it usually means everything else either sucks or had nothing interesting about it in the slightest. Which, yeah, pretty much.

The characters, suck.
The story, sucks.
The romantic development, kind of neat but ultimately not redeeming enough.

Everything about this story is beyond dissapointing, especially since I like the art style too.

Maybe, MAYBE, m a y b e, I would be just as forgiving as the others and leave this story with 5 where it not for the utter horseshit that was the ending.

Do I reccomend it? Well, if you have any standards beyond just "I wanna read something cute and short" no, absolutely not.
