These have to be the most loveable characters I've yet encountered in a manga! I adore them. Both Nitori and Takatsuki are incredibly sweet, but their friends and family are wonderfully characterized, too. Every single character is created with tender care, and you can feel how much the mangaka loves them.
On a serious note, it's great to see a manga address transgenderism in a mature and understanding way. It's particularly rewarding to read about Nitori's childhood worries, and Takatsuki's insecurities. The way these two struggle with issues of gender identity is something I can relate to, since my childhood was a lot like theirs.
I really hope things turn out well for them. Such sweet kids! I know they'll grow up to be wonderful people.

Like ranmaru there said, I really want to know how the main characters grow up dealing with their "different" personalities. They are both lovable, and I'm rooting for them.
Definitely a good read. Come meet these characters, you'll fall in love with them too!
