I felt that Momose's character was too forceful and just a tad bit too awkward when it came to getting Yashiro to love him, otherwise it's a 10 for me. Still, I did love how Momose backed off himself and recognizes that he has to treat Yashiro "as something precious", to quote, and apologizes earnestly to Yashiro and takes care of him.
Though another snag for me for the depiction of Yashiro's gender fluidity(?). I have seriously nothing against that but I feel that if one or two pages were given to explaining Yashiro's own understanding of his gender and sexuality, this manga would have been more concrete for me.
Yashiro does have sex with women, he had a girlfriend, and had a one night-stand but now he has a boyfriend, and he prefers men though he is afraid to admit that he is gay. But, you see, then this fear of being gay (which he overcomes thank you Hideyoshico) closes the door on him being able to consider taking any other gender identity.
Also, I know its a yaoi manga so the characters must be gay, but just because its yaoi doesn't mean that a conversation about gender fluidity or inter-sexuality cannot come up. [m] IS - Otoko demo Onna demo Nai Sei[/m] is an excellent example, though important to note that for very good reasons it rightfully does not a yaoi tag.

On a side note; 1 and a half year and one volume of six chapters? o.O My mind boggles at the time duration it took to make this and get it published. I mean, I know that it takes immense time and effort to make some good manga, but when someone breaks it down like this for you, it really hits you. Even though this is nothing.
Also, congratulations Hideyoshico on the live action for this manga.

I like sketchy art styles, there is something charming about them~ :3
I was nicely surprised to see realistic gender bender!!~ <3
The two were so sweet together!!! A touching story that seemed real and close to heart!!
There were funny moments, painfull too, blushing main leads, cute clothes and school background~ even some hot scenes!!!
Anyway i really liked it!!! Wish it was longer!!!

Never was I this interested in BL! I mostly read them for smut, not story. The exploration of a closet crossdresser character made the story very refreshing and yet rich. Compared to the usual cookie cutter yaoi mangas I've read; be it sugary, fluffy shounen-ai or hard yaoi, this one certainly stands out. The character development is great and immersing while the characters are very likable. Try this for a change, it'll be a memorable read.

I highly recommend you read this work! Actually, read everything by hideyoshico,a brilliant and unusual artist who never disappoints.
Basically this story offers a take on cross dressing that isn't simply played for laughs. The artist delves properly in to the feelings of Yashiro and his back story that sort of explains the cross dressing. Momo is a totally cool character, despite his scary vibe he is an accepting kind who is protective and kind to Yashiro. Momo's inner dialogue at the beginning is hilarious. The development of the characters is great, as your first impression of them is often challenged. Hideyoshico is great at giving her characters unusual quirks and personalities, so they're not all cookie cutter yaoi characters.
For example, Yashiro is described as plain and momo clearly isn't supposed to be a very cool or attractive guy. This is great for the story because it shows this is supposed to be a romance between two kind of weird guys, not just some lusty bishies
I think this kind of story is perfect for those of out there in the yaoi world who like their art unusual, their characters weird and their love stories true to life.

I dont agree with lifeincircuit - momo is just one of those cute people who put all their effort onto something, he's just wrapped in a ...threatening? package (it was so dorable when he was freaking out on his bed squeezing the stuffed animal). and as for yashiro he got someone who accepted him for who he was.

I really loved this one it was nice and they took their time with their issues - and everytime it went into yashiros pov i kept thinking - momo isnt that scary (well maybe in the bedroom scene).

You dont get alot of cross`dressing manga. that are good. the last one I liked was Kawaisa Amatte Nanika ga Hyakubai (chapters 4&5) - but man, I could read this one over and over - so sweet

Edit: okay so reading it again i do have one problem with it - the ending feels to rushed and the chapter where yashiro was thinking of giving momo a make over (or the part that comes directly after that) we didnt get to see how they got to that point- we saw it and then it ended

I can't believe how realistic this manga is. I love that despite having some yaoi and all, the author don't forget to describe the little things that happens in reality. Recommended if you want to have a look at these kind of relationships in real life.

I don't understand the hype about this manga. I don't really like the art, and although the plot was somewhat engaging, the only thing it had going for it was the cross dressing.
