Attractive artwork and an intriguing plot are no compensation for a distasteful subtext that gay men are predatory and paedophilic.
Things went from angst to pure, unadulterated DRAMA! Yikes! The story fairly ooze drama!



There's one last volume and I don't see how they will all untangled this big old romantic/unhealthy relationships they all have.

But, that said, it is a great story.... if you like drama. I swear, it's only missing a twin brother long thought dead coming to be like a real soap opera! (Actually, it sort of "happened" but it was an "older brother")
This is SO funny! I just love all the characters, especially Hozumi... lol.

I love the premise of the story, all the comedic aspects of it, the SDs, the Papa appearing out of nowhere (still wondering how he knows what is happening), the constant picture takings from strangers whenever Jun and Mitsuru are together (bwuahahahah!) and all the trials Sumi goes through to try and not have her transformation into Jun be discovered. And now there's also Shizuka who has come into the whole mess. This show more predicts more hilarious situations inn the future volumes!

One thing that is interesting is that as Jun, Sumi is drawn like a Seme while Mitsuru is definitely Uke in appearance.... It would be very interesting to turn this into a Yaoi... Fufufufufu

This is quite a sweet story about two friends who come to love one another.

It's more in the Shounen-Ai genre than the Yaoi one since the emphasis is on the emotions and not the sexual part of the relationship.

The artwork is also very 'Shoujo' in style though that was then Mangaka's intent from the beginning.

all in all a nice, light, and delightful story.
