Shûichi Nitori is a 5th grade student who likes to bake and has always been something of a feminine boy. When he transfers to a new school, Shûichi is mistaken for his 6th grade sister on his first day.

| An Artistic Triumph of Realism by Crenshinibon on June 26th, 2009, 1:51am |

Hourou Musuko is really quite interesting in a lot of ways, but rather than write a whole analysis here, I think I'll keep it short for once. What we have here is a work with realistic characters, reaistic pacing, and realistic outcomes. In fact, it almost feels as though these events may have occurred to the author or someone close to them at some point. The characters are developed with meticulous timing and accuracy, and hardly deviate from their acceptable courses of action based on this development. This, while quite amazing, will probably be lacking in terms of entertainment for many readers. This isn't an escapist work, and as a result, the audience it attracts will probably be smaller.

| At first I was attracted to the beautiful watercolor in the beginning and the realistic characters. The earlier chapters were sweet simple and intriguing. However, as the manga went on, more serious issues came into play; it became a lot more intense. I couldn't stop reading; I just loved it. |

| Plain by Aenonar on April 19th, 2009, 1:15pm |

It's a kinda plain slice of life like manga, with lots of cross dressing... It's nothing really special or edge of the seat or anything.. But it's alright..
It's a bit confusing here and there though.. Seems like it does some time skip thingy once in a while or something Oo Leaves me confused all the time since there's not really any warning or anything :s

| Poetic by Aristocrat on April 13th, 2009, 10:39am |

I really like this manga. It's very poetic in my opinion. The characters are likable and they have flaws that people can relate to (not being clumsy and endearing flaws). Sometimes the characters make me angry with the choices they make and sometimes they surprise me in a good way.
The emotions are very real even if it's a very unlikely setting. This manga is definitely worth a try. |

| Stick With It by roadblock4 on April 11th, 2009, 10:34pm |

This is a great series and to me, a unique one at that. It's a bit slow at the beginning, but once it gets going, it turns to be one of the most thoughtful mangas ever. The art isn't too bad either. Easy on the eyes but kinda easy on the backgrounds too.
Another thing that's great is that you can actually see the characters grow up and deal with the problems that come with it. Truly great and you feel for the characters too.
To whoever's scanlating these chapters, thank you!
And to those reading this review, start this series and stick with it, you won't regret it!

| Marvelous! Monotonous! by Fronzel on March 31st, 2009, 9:00pm |

Contains the most realistic simulation of life I’ve ever seen in manga, especially in its depiction of the fickleness of the human heart. Characters make rash judgments, suddenly change their minds, and are frequently unfair to others, just like real people. This is a real accomplishment.
It's also quite dull.
Real life isn't very interesting, and it's insistance on slow, slice-of-life pacing means the hook (gender issues) doesn't even get much focus. Eventually, I just couldn't be bothered.

| This is the best... :) by Tyranasaurus on March 27th, 2009, 9:11am |

This IS my favorite manga. I love the pace and how it's unlikely, but realistic. The characters are really interesting and you love and hate them at times (like Chiba). Not only that, but the art is cool, too. Overall, this is the best!!!

This manga is one of my favorites, I read it several times. I love everything about this manga. The pace is unique, sometimes its quick and sometimes it slows down a bit. Its got funny moments and somewhat serious dramatic moments.
The mangka does a great job of telling this kind of story. Nothing about it seems fake or unrealistic. The events that happen in the story feel like events that could happen to anyone.
whatever your personal beliefs are, if you decide not to read this because you think "transgenders are icky" then you're missing out. |
