It starts off with our main protagonist Mayu Minakuchi, a cute and shy girl. getting molested by an old Guy on the train. Coming to her rescue is Yuki , a also cute looking, girlish boy. For a matter of fact , Mayu mistakes him for a boy at first ,since he also wears typical girl clothes. So in case you didn't know yet ,yes this is a manga about cross-dressing, but it is foremost a story about romance.
The cross-dressing aspect is handled very maturely though and is a staple of our times being more progressive then the past by showing how it is just another part of the person and not an all defining characteristic. The author also knows when to play it for laughs ,like with one of our supporting cast ,Kei.
Kei gets dragged into the cross-dressing world trough Yuki ,and is initially acting as our springboard to recognising the lightheartedness of it and that some people do it for money (as in a job) or a hobby (fun/fulfillment). He is paired up with Asuka ,Mayu's best friend, who is a bit of a genki girl (meaning she has energy to spare and is mostly straight forward). I enjoyed their dynamic as well that they enriched the plot by a lot, daring our main couple to move things along.
Jumping forward in time by a lot so you may enjoy this Manga for yourself ;)
I enjoyed the ending ,a lot of people seemed to want more ,but i felt the author told us probably everything they wanted too with this story and it ended on a high note for me. Showcasing that it is better to end it while still at your best.
I would have given this a 7,5 if not for the kinda unconnected story threads. This seems to be the case ,because of the format of it's release. It was my first manga where they would release a single page everyday instead of a chapter for the week/month and i think it hurt the story a bit as a whole.
It wasn't to bad, but recognizable.
Story: 5. Nothing special (except for the obvious) but sufficient since other area's shine.
Art: 5. It looks fine ,nothing extraordinarily though.
Characters: 7. This is the pushing grace of it all. They are all very lovable and just put a smile on your face.
Enjoyment: 6. I read most of it while at work so it enriched my day their by quite a lot :P
Overall: 6. A fine read worth recommending to anyone who enjoys laid back atmosphere in their media ,at least every so often. A must read for people who don't see the normality of guy's wanting to dress like girl's yet or are on the fence about it =) it'll give you some insight.
