| it's not great by Romashk on January 18th, 2010, 2:33pm |
|
Innocent perverted girl enrolled in an all girl nonreligious catholic school, to find her true gay love... And it would be a harem paradise if it wasn't for the pure hearted, cute and evil cross-dresser roommate and his loyal foulmouthed maid.
Well this manga is an "alright" comedy, And I did hate the first chapter. But this manga does point out a few cliches in the genre that are used so much it's becoming really irritating.

| If you hate lesbians you'll love this series by Jazer on January 18th, 2010, 2:13am |
|
This is the perfect series for all those guys who think that lesbians must be "cured" by a man. The fact that the lesbian main girl is always bullied and considered a sicko and a "villain", while the crossdressing guy who treats her like sh*t and threatens to rape her is considered the "hero" is just perfect for your homophobia.

| Series has too many negative reviews by artdjmaster on October 31st, 2009, 11:56am |
|
| I found the interesting-looking volume 1 on bookshelves, but most of the reviews I read about it point to it being frustrating to read because of how the lead characters are treated and the use of the word "lesbian" as an insult. The disheartening review on Okazu especially makes me want to avoid this series with a ten-foot pole. Next series, please. |

| maliciously abusive with occasional delight by NotarySojac on September 12th, 2009, 3:42am |
|
I just picked up issue one on the strength of the pretty-girl artwork.
I now sincerely hope the cross-dressing lead is going to eventually be put through a wood chipper while still conscious. He is the stock "my family is immensely wealthy so I can treat everyone else like absolute crap" antagonist without a trace of charm or humor - just despicable, skin-crawling evil. The male-phobic female lead Kanako is a passive girl-oggling dolt who appears to be putting up with his abuse solely because he is cute in drag. By the end of the first issue there is no hint of anyone learning anything from their situations. I will look at the next chapters online in the vain hope that Mariya's maid Matsurika will snap and take his manhood off with a chainsaw.
Still, much like Kanako, I will probably put up with this excruciating abuse for the occasional page of beautiful cute-girl art and yuri-light situations. |

I read up to ch 11 - I think I want to try the anime now.
As someone said, the art is decent (actually it's more than just decent)... but the main character is indecent ;D I like it. It is very funny and actually the 2nd shoujo-ai I come across.
I don't know what it will turn into, but don't expect much romance. A nosebleed is all you get to see from Kanako. Also don't expect much development. What you can expect is hilarious and wacky comedy, some moe characters and a light story.
Most entertaining for me are the slight pervert dialogs, the SD art and the interactions of the comic trio Mariya, Kanako and Matsurika.
Want an example?
Mariya: "You're a lesbian, aren't you?"
Kanako: "Nooooo! Don't call me that! At least say "Yuri", it's more elegant"
Matsurika: "Crossdressing is enough, but couple that with an interest for cosplay? This seems like a case of gender identity disorder!"
@Artimidorus
You complain about ppl giving a 10 as in 'completely perfect' but yourself give it a 1 as in 'everything is worst' when you even said it has good art - wtf oO? Look who's talking.
See it as an entertainment rating and not something as complicated as perfectness.

| Horrible by Artimidorus on April 6th, 2009, 5:11pm |

Wow... so many people giving this series 10, saying that it is COMPLETELY perfect and cannot be improved at all... my head hurts from considering what this means for the future of man kind.
I also see that it appears most are giving it a 10 based on the first episode of the anime... which is just very wrong.
The art is decent, but the main female is a horrible pervert, and the main guy is just.... beyond a screwed up jerk. The pretense of why there is a guy there is just absurd, and his servant is just useless. Their interaction is almost painful to read. So while the art isn't bad at all, the story and the character interaction removes almost all value from this manga. Whether the anime is better or not has NOTHING what so ever to do with these reviews, and the people reviewing saying "The anime was great... and I think I heard of the manga... 10!!" need to be removed. They should post those reviews on anime sites, not on the manga site. This manga does not deserve a 10 in any way, shape, or form.
To: Lillian - Yes, I gave it a one, because almost all the 10s are from people saying how great the anime is.. and oh yeah, there is a manga.. it must be good. Average: 8.4 / 10.0 (123 votes) right now, because so many people aren't grading the manga, which is stupid. As I said in the PM, I am sick of seeing awesome ratings for a series, and finding out that people aren't basing it on the manga, but the anime. So yes, I gave it a one, because there needs to be some sembalance of reality in these scores.

| Very Unique and Hilarious by Renzonokuken on January 22nd, 2009, 10:21am |
|
Really touching and hilarious ! This series is a must-read also see the Anime. Frankly, I never see this kind of epic story yet. And it must anger some of the anti-thesis one.
Hope they will improve it !, the story telling is quite unique too
I give : 10 !

| Somewhat original by Makoto11 on December 28th, 2008, 10:14pm |

Watched the anime's first episode and I'd say the storyline is pretty unique,though not the best but if we're talking about within its own genre,it certainly is very good though not the best I'll admit.It takes a liberal person to accept the concept and premises this manga touches on,if you're not one to be able to laugh off things like shoujo ai then I don't recommend it for you.

| this is the worst by Tsuyo_Puyo on December 21st, 2008, 3:32pm |
|
this is the worst series ive ever read. that crossdressing guy is the biggest asshole ive ever seen, and it looks like the author is going to pair up the innocent girl protagonist whos attracted to other girls, with that sadistic jerk-off. it really just pisses me off, he has no charisma at all, he's just the epitome of twisted.
