Description
Nonomiya Yuuta, a ski Jumper aiming for Olympic gold, bursts onto the stage with his exceptional skills. However, his biggest problem is that he is not really a "HE"... The person claiming to be Nonomiya Yuuta is actually his twin sister, Nonomiya Nono... And with women's ski Jumping not being an official Olympic category, hiding her true identity is the only way for her to achieve the dreams of her father and brother and win Olympic gold.

 Overdramatic

Usually I'm pretty good at suspending disbelief, but this manga went to such extremes to produce drama that I couldn't keep up with it. But the biggest fault was that the manga-ka was obviously forced to bring it to an end much sooner than he/she intended, and so there were so many loose ends left untied that the plot tripped all over itself at the end (see what I did there? wink ). However, I can't deny that I enjoyed this manga up until the final tournament started, after that it was a mess.

 So cute and so dramatic

To be honest, I am not completely sure. Did I just fall for the "soap opera syndrome", which sticked me to following every of Nonomiya's footsteps because she's so likeable and human, or is it because the manga is actually so good?

First of all, a great approach on the sports side. I guess that many readers will agree when I say that ski jumping isn't what we're reading this manga for, but still Okamoto staged it in a great way. I was very sceptical in the beginning... "Sports in a manga? And then, of all things, ski jumping?"
However, he perfectly introduced me as a total ski jumping ignorant into this highly developed sports and perfectly embedded all necessary explanations into the story. And, exceeding that, captured the speed, heigths and thrill of ski jumping much better than any TV broadcast ever could! If he shows an overview over the ramp from the jumper's starting gate, I almost get the same vertigo I would have when actually sitting in such a place...

Still, as mentioned, ski jumping just remained the minor part of the manga to me. Nonomiya is such a likeable protagonist with such a great story that it totally caught me right away. Starting already with the optical designs - despite all doubts about the sports, I was certain to start reading the manga when I only saw the cover of Nonomiya and her skis in front of the jumping hill.
The story absolutely thrilled me, and injected great moments of fun and akwardness at certain points to losen it up, rarely a manga made me laughing as much as this one. And yet containing so much elements...

The latest chapters really turned the story almost upside down to an unpredicted dark side. Though I agree that it is good to include such for a time, I'm not so sure about the staging. Perhaps Okamoto left the previous paths a little too much and dropped a little on the usually so good staging.

 Best Gender Bender written   
Rating: N/A
by LazyGamer

Virtually all the Gender Bender mangas I've read so far have had the following plotlines:
guy/girl is changed to girl/guy
guy/girl crossdresses due to overbearing parent/guardians
guy/girl crossdresses to get closer to someone
guy/girl gets transported to the past and is viewed as the opposite gender
guy/girl has an identity crisis

Nononono, on the other hand, breaks the mold and has a realistic reason to which you can relate to:
girl pretends to be guy in order to fulfill her olympic dream which only men can participate in

Now, before all the naysayers point out that men are physically superior to women, the limits of some women do sometimes come quite close to the limits of men. Additionally, the olympic event she is aiming for is a team event, meaning achieving her dream is a real possibility, assuming she has the potential and skill (which she does).

However, the reason for crossdressing isn't everything to how good a manga is and thankfully, Nononono delivers on this point. The plot is furthered at an ideal pace - neither too slow, nor too fast, and while some of the character's personalities are a bit unrealistic, it does not detract from the manga at all, instead meshing with its somewhat dark plot and making it all the more better.

All in all, this is one manga I definitely recommend. Forget any bad experiences you may have had with the Gender Bender genre because this is one of the very few shining examples of it done well.

The whole ski jumping part of the manga is really good, but gets unrealistic as the series goes on. And I find all the side stories, her getting found out in the various ways she does, the violence gets abit out of hand and ruins the actual sporting part of the manga.

It's really really really really really really really good.

I've spent much of my time to read manga and this will really be in my top list!!

Edit:
Spoiler (highlight to view)
I realize I've only read till chpt 87. And it is doing good. Seeing it has 4 volume left, I am kind of worried it will have not really good ending. -__- But I hope it's wrong. :)

The author wrote Elfen Lied, and so the trademark psychotic atmosphere is still there. Excessive violence, people verging on insanity, male characters being dangerously true to their base desires, female characters wailing like their family just got killed every chapter...

Spoiler (highlight to view)
Also, if that is the body of a 15-year-old, I wager she'd be better off as a porn star when she grows up. That is if she survives being attacked by psychotic males in this psychotic universe.


It's a good sports manga, just that people are a bit more psychotic, the plot is darker and edgier... And somehow the main character is set up as a tragic heroine so perfectly (if we ignore the fact that it's mainly because some other characters acted a bit idiotically) that I just had to begin cheering for her and wish her luck. And of course, NSFW.

 the best

this, and the manga one outs is the best sport manga i had ever read. the best point about this manga is the unhinged characters. from nono and her emotionally disturbed family, ultra violent senpai and rapist teacher, cheating school, secret sacrifice sect, etc. really, the characters are so entertaining with their random violent outburst. i especially love the way the artist draw their emotions, so twisted and grotesque.

i am also in love with the way the sport is shown. i got dizzy sometimes seeing the hill from the top. its breathtaking the way they slide down the ramp and just fly. i will never be tempted to try this, its too scary, but it is certainly beautiful to look at. the artist is highly skilled in capturing the immense grandeur of the sport.

i like that there is no 'training' for the main character. she is perfect, and that's it. i don't need to see super quick stupid training montage that can beat better and highly trained people 'just because'. she is highly gifted, always have and always be, so it is not weird for her to win.

really, try this.

...the ending wasn't rushed! *may contain some spoilers* I love most aspects of this story otherwise, including but not limited to, gender bending, unrequited love, prodigy-like skills, ryoma echizen-like cockiness at times, false shoujo-ai and tragic past. This made up for the bad points; in my case, like the attempted rape, the long period it took for the main character to start winning again, and inconclusive ending. Other wise, it was one of my favorite gender benders/sport mangas! I'd like everyone to remember, though, that the situations she ends up in are mostly because of her determination to get into the Olympics. Like the attempted rape...it really shows how bad she wanted to go enough to let him (almost) do that to her. So don't say it was pointless, because I'm pretty sure it was used to show how much she was determined to go to the Olympics.

As a sports manga, Nononono (even with the strange name) delivers, but otherwise... it's really just kinda creepy. What was with all those random rape/molestation/etc scenes? They felt really jarring to the flow of the story, which was shaping up to be a pretty good one, and I can't quite get over how Nono just kind of shrugs it off. And if you add that to her past, all the crap she's been put through should have been unbearably traumatic, but fortunately the manga does do a better job of dealing with the past issue. Still, I'm not sure how she's even continuing on at the moment.
