The third member, Kanzaki, turns out to be the same boy who almost kissed Ichiko only days before. It’s a good thing he doesn’t recognize her in her boy form, as she cannot tell anyone about her true identity. When she bumps into Kanzaki again in her girl form, she tells him her name is Ichigo.

It's ok. The plot is nice, but the art is not that great at all.
I seriously don't know what I expected from shoujo, but I really don't like mangas that the main girl cries so much. Sigh. It gets irritating after so many times. Haha. She's not a very strong character, but she's kind and helpful--that's her charm. But I still am not liking her character. I'm going to stop reading it. I'm saying it's bad, but it's just not something I can keep reading...

I'm not sure why Ichigo Channel has received so many mediocre or negative reviews. I quite enjoyed it. It's true that it's no great shakes when it comes to depth of plot and so on, but if you're looking for a sort of cushiony romance, an 'everything ends up aww' sort, it's the way to go. I liked the plot, the way Ichiko matured over time, and the art was nice enough to keep me going.
That's not to say it couldn't have been better. I wish, for instance, that Ichiko had been a much stronger character much earlier on. Yeah, she grows up and begins to stand up for herself, but it doesn't happen until later on. I was also pretty annoyed by how famous Trijet got when one of their members wasn't even taking it seriously... and so easily, too, without any mention of talent! Ichiko and her brother were really just randomly picked off the street, and right away, they act and sing like pros. It rather puts down people in showbiz who work hard for their fame. The excessively unrealistic beginning may turn many readers off; and both Ichiko and Kanzaki are at their worst there, too; Ichiko's got self esteem problems and Kanzaki's just harsh.
Overall, however, it was a good story. Once I started getting into the meat of it, I enjoyed it and read right to the end. I hope the author learnt a lot from this manga and makes another, better one.

I enjoyed it. Tajima couldn't have Ichika choose Tendou because he wasn't a large enough part of the story, whereas Tooru was the male lead. I f she had continued the story and transfered the male lead to Tendou, I'm sure Ichika would have chosen him, but since it ended it's not possible. It would make her feelings seem shallow. Just an explanation due to the bad reviews above.

This series is a very typical shoujo manga. I personaly only read it for the gender-bender parts of it, but there really isn't that much of a focus on that. I really couldn't connect with the main character, because she was then typical girly-girl-who-can't-decide-which-guy-she-likes. She's too dependant on the males around her for me to like her or sympathize with her at all.
For me this is an awsome manga. The story is really good, and the characters are interesting. I like it because of the romance aspect and the general plot. (^__~)
bad.

The art was slightly worst than your average shoujo. The plot was bizzare and choppy at MANY times. I mean, too many "as it is" kinda incidents that just happen for no reason whatsoever.
The gender bender is the only thing that kept me going. Nonetheless, i really disliked all the chraracters. Someone please tell me why it got such high ratings!
Spoiler (highlight to view)
Besides, the romance; how can two guys just meet her, decide to hang out and then claim to have fell in love with her? And her with her strange and almost non-existant existance as a female with the guys, how does she even end up "liking" them?

i don't like that guy. I find the girl an IDDIOT for continuing to pursue the guy when he hurts her over and over and over again. She has many other options: guys who are better than K a hundred times! She's just a fool. K is so selfish and never once consider her feeling...the story is such a drag.....i am very dissappointed that i waste 49 chapters reading this
dont like it

this is a really nice manga... ^^ there's plot in it and the characters are interesting... Tendou-san's existence puts in some challenge... i was wishing for more interaction but looks like it's pretty much a happy ending with this manga... not bad for a shoujo manga... definitely recommend...

seems like i am not the only one who hated the ending. I didn'
t only hate the ending, I did also hate the whole manga.. somehow the whole manga is very weird, and I would be appier if the manga wasn't so long, i mena most of the parts are just weird. i just don't understand the plot.. the synopsis sounded very good, and the heroine sounded strong, (at elast for me) But after reading few pages I became very angry. so mad! what a weird manga, most of the twisted parts are just weid I couldn't understand it. I say again, it'd be better if it wasn't so long.
sorry for my weird english
