| total suprise by IHemmy on December 29th, 2009, 9:37am |

I was totally surprised how much i ended up liking this manga! I was really hesitant to read this for so long because i was afraid it was going to be all about acting like Glass Mask. However it was a good combo of their ambition to be actors and love for one another. The pace was excellent with enough progression you did not get bored and more intimacy than a usual shojou manga shows. BUT the only thing i didn't get, is why so many ppl were obsessed with the ITO, the main heroine. Not only does her brothers have a sister complex, but she is always kidnapped by her persistent 3 stalkers...Also both main characters are tough martial artists, so why the hell did they never beat the living day lights out of the guy who keeps screwing with Mako?? Besides those two quirks, if you like sweet romance with actions and gender bender this is a must read

| One of the best by John21 on December 11th, 2009, 12:11am |

Honestly dis manga is one of a kind. Should be much more highly rated. I think some people are put off by the summary. The guy aktuli acts like a guy. Hez not a true trans or nything. The girl, damn shez one of my favourite heroines out. So strong, tough, determined, she was the one who made dis manga unique. She is one of the few heroines that doesnt freakn cry every chapter or so. When she does, u feel dat it is totally right for that circumstance. Yes she lacks femininity(if datz a word lol) but over the course of the manga she bekumz more feminine and her personailty more than makez up for it. Such great character development as well for most characters most importantly the girl Miura. even though its long, it neva dragged for me and i felt sad that it had ended. It also had such a great ending with mostly every character's destination being resolved. Most of the characters had depth to them. I can go on and on faa so good. Art is really good as well. Just read it!!

| it's a fun read but at times drags and becomes tirelessly boring, but still, the romance is top notch! if you can have enough patience to wait for the two of them to get affectionate then try this series |

| very sweet.. by mangafan321 on July 6th, 2009, 8:17am |

That Takayo girl is one of the most pathetic characters i have seen in such a long time, why doesnt she get the clue that Makoto has absolutely no interest in her. she is so annoyingly clingy and stupid, i cant stand her. and what is with her brother? sometimes i feel like he is in love with her, and i wish he'd just start dating her and leave makota alone. Also, doesnt japan have a Juvenile Detention center? He tried to hurt Makota early in the story they should have sent his psycho butt to a juvey center... Anyway, i love the main girl character, it is refreshing to see a girl that is strong and nice as the main character. she does cry but when she does its for a good reason, she is smart, but she is not very feminine or pretty, but that doesn't detract from her character at all, if anything it makes her more charming.
edit: anyone else annoyed how in volume 7 mako reveals his secret to help that annoying brat? i kinda wish iko had slapped her for acting like that for no good reason. i couldnt care less whetther this brat is a singer or not. just a wasted chapter...

| W Juliet is backwards from most manga like this. Its really interesting and funny with characters that you can relate to. I think that it is great that in this one the guy goes as a girl. I recommend this manga to everyone! |

| Not your usual gender bender... by bajuwa on November 18th, 2008, 6:53pm |
|
When i saw the genres as "gender bender + school life + shoujo" i automatically think "k girl shishes her boobs, goes to school as a guy, falls in love with room/classmate and theres your comedy"
But WOW didn't think i could be so close, yet so far o.o
Im rating it low to start out with as its ok at the moment, im finding it ackward because, even though i know their real genders, i can't tell sometimes.... which i don't know if its a good or a bad thing for the author o.0
so ya, i'll update this later once i read more of it but its definitely caught my interest
EDIT:
K so like i promised im updating my opinion
But theres not too much to change really, after a while it finally became more clear as to the fact that Mako is indeed a man, but i found it took too long to really clearly define that... i found it unrealistic that a guy could dress up as a girl so convincingly with no natural hitches (all the problems were made from people who already knew his secret)
But i have to admit, i keep the rating higher than i though because the love part is cute at times. I think its a good read and i'd recommend it to people who like this type of genre compilation... i guess you could call it that xP

| Amazing. by matt_is_the_best on September 30th, 2008, 9:22pm |

This manga series was simply amazing. I love it. The characters so easily seemed like real people. The more I read the more I felt I was there, especially because Ito and Mako remind me of two certain people I know in a couple of ways. It is a must read for all at some point in their life.... I think it has become one of my favourites if not my favourite manga ever. =)

Love it! This is how I fall in love with Emura sensei. The relationship between Mako and Ito is just simply adorable. Mako is so protective and I feel like that if he's a real person, he will be the perfect guy you want as a BF XD

| must read! by escape on March 20th, 2008, 6:32pm |

this is an AWESOME series! I was going to stop reading the first volume halfway through, but then I decided to finish it and complete the 2nd one also since I borrowed both. It go sooo much better after that and I got hooked! sometimes it's a bit draggy and off-topic here and there, but watching the characters slowly develop was real interesting. I love the main girl too! she's so likable and awesome unlike those annoying girly girls in other shoujo. overall it was a really good read and definitely deserves a 10
