Wew, yet another great series from Hojo sensei (i dunno but his name keep reminding me of a bird pokemon, hoho or something, lol).
I started this series up after picking up 2 other marvelous works City Hunter and Angel Heart of Hojo sensei. To my surprise, this series was entirely different to the others, But it still got me hooked, and now i'm really in thirst for new chapters. \
Arr how come his series are all "uncompletedly" scanslated? *sob*

I caught myself rofling many times while reading the scanlated chapters !! It is quite enjoyable!

As far as the mangaka's "fashion sense" is concerned, well if you took your time to check the publication date, you'd see it's the late 90's.. For those who remember, that's how they were dressing themselves that time around..

I'm crying inside everytime I see any clothing. If only Hojo-sensei pays more attention to the fashion aspect and can he please not have girls wear heeled sandals that make them look like grannies all the time?

What makes a person a man? a woman?
What creates and sustains a family?
Not that this manga answers these questions but makes you think about what answers there possibly are.
Humor is good too.

This series just adds things on instead of ending it. It feels unnatural, but is a great joy since it continues the characters story.

I dont care so much about the case of his uncle/aunt. it's their prob and nothing to do begin with .i dont really hate something like transgender ( it's their nature ).. But i really hate the fact , the protagonist was sometimes dressed like a girl ( it showed that his will was so weak ) . It's disgusting to me ! i keep reading it because the art is so good and a bit curious about the mysterious girl.

Many months ago, I read this manga, grew disgusted with it and thus, dismissed it as "trash" and gave it a low rating. But I decided to try reading it again with an open mind. It seems there's more depth to this title than it appears. And the protagonist was really childish in the beginning, though he's developed over time.

Despite some of its' misconceptions and stereotypes about gay people and transgenders this story is worth reading. Though, some might point out that those misconceptions were presented from the various characters' perspectives since this story concerns Japanese society in the early 90s and just because, well, one grew up with transvestites, doesn't mean the person isn't free from prejudism against GLBTs or against themselves.

A nice surprise overall. Plenty of comedy with solid dramatic backdrop. Although the theme of this manga is rather... controversial. Expect a love-or-hate relationship with this title.

Well I kanda liked chapters I read so far(1-42). There are alike families out there in real life. Ofcourse, sometimes, I get anoyed be some characters, But mainly this manga is good.

There aren't enough manga series out there that deal with transgenderism in a way that isn't mocking or isn't just a ploy to help along a standard romantic plot. At first (well, the first few chapters) it looks like this is going to be just another kinky gag-centric story, but as the series progresses, it becomes more complex and thought-provoking. The humor that starts off as apparently crass eventually becomes layered and subtle. It's almost like watching a diamond getting cleaned, and achieving its purity over time. Trust me when I say that the seemingly childish beginning turns out to have hidden depths -- the childishness isn't actually the story's (or the mangaka's), but instead the protagonist's. As the main character of the manga matures, so does the manga's outlook.

Hojo Tsukasa gives real depth to his characters, and he treats them with gentleness and dignity. Everyone from the ambiguously gay mafia don to Masahiko's aunt and uncle, and the uncle's prejudiced father -- everyone is given space to develop and grow in the manga. Masahiko himself matures and becomes one of my favorite characters ever. (Of course, Masahiko's uncle remains my favorite. Guh, SO HAWT! Although the aunt is pretty hot, too. Decisions, decisions...)

I just love this story. Thank you, Nojay, for scanslating this.
