Unprofessional, illogicall, non-persistent development  
by Ariel
October 19th, 2008, 10:01am
Rating: 2.0  / 10.0
The drawing of this manga is very shoujo-like and somehow it creates pleasance for the readers. However I got a big issue with the plot. The mangaka tried in vain to build up some conflicts, misleaded the readers then finally popped in the worst-ending-ever out of nowhere. I find it extremely ridiculous and irritating when mangakas hopelessly seek for the so-called shocking/surprising/unpredictable stuff and amazingly enough, expect the readers to think it's interesting. So unprofessional and even annoying. When I read mangas, I don't long for those kind of stupidity. I want a logical and persistent development. It doesn't need to surprise the hell out of me.

One more thing, I absolutely hate the idea of turning your heart from one guy to another. Perhaps I'm outmoded, but I prefer consistency. I dislike the girl Midori in this manga. She always confuses herself with a mixture of vague feelings and this turns out to hurt both guys. Unlike Moe Kare, this time I'm for the bad boy Tsukasa, he's bold and has a strong personality. He might walk the bad path but he got clear reasons for it, and absolutely believed in what he's doing. In Moe Kare I supported the good guy Takara since his presence made me feel pleasant and somewhat relieved. But this time Kazuma appears to be a childishly romantic boy and I find his naive nature super annoying. Believe it or not his smiles give me chills. Errr...

To sum up about this series:
- Nice drawing
- Non-persistent and illogical plot
- A rare good character (in my opinion, Tsukasa. Okay okay, feel free to oppose)
- Unreasonable, out-of-nowhere ending. The worst ending ever.

2/10

i agree entirely with those that call this story sexist. I was cringing in almost all the chapters because of some of the bs the author puts in it

however, the art was nice, and i was never bored, just really put off

It's kinda sad that brid's comment was right on point, but for some reason I found this series strangely compelling enough to read in its entirety (maybe just b/c I wanted to see who ended up together).

Trust me as soon as I saw who the mangaka was and read the summary, I checked most of my brain cells at the door. It's not about the series being unrealistic, it was just downright bad writing. I won't hold a grudge against anyone who dropped this within the first few chaps.

The girl Midori is one of my most hated characters, the story is unrealistic too.
I read the raws, the ending was the absolute worst i have seen.
Terrible manga

My tolerance lately for predictable characters seems to be at an all time low. Simply put, I think I would like this much better if Midori had more spine and depth to her and Tsukasa wasn't such a big jerk. I like the fact that Midori does participate and have talent in soccer (which is a nice change, as it's usually the girl sitting on the sideline). I can also dismiss the fact that that her real 'gender' is glaringly obvious (it's shoujo after all). Still, what I don't like is that everytime she plays against Tsukasa she turns into putty and is often busy either being manhandled or blushing at him. It's these elements that make this story go from a unique concept to totally predictable shoujo.

Overall- cute art, ok story, disappointing characters. Good perhaps if you have nothing better to read.

Not to be overanalyzed  
by Fareki

Rating: N/A
Personally, I believe that Uwasa no Midori-Kun is average. It is not to be overanalyzed and picked apart for every single little detail. Sure, it can be cliched and unreal at times, but what shoujo manga isn't? I agree that there are issues with the details, like the size of Midori's breasts.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that this is a good manga for reading, if people will just accept what happens within the confines of that world. It's like reading science-fiction, or any other type of book -- you have to get over the hump of reality that is within our world, and merge yourself with the laws of the manga. ACCEPT IT!

There are mangas where the lead female is cool and it makes you feel energized while reading them because you really understand her and want her to do well. On the flipside, there are mangas (like Hot Gimmick, to use a classic example) that make you cringe because of the very bad gender politics--where you can just feel the women's rights movement being set back another 10 years with each new volume. And then there's Uwasa no Midori-kun!!... This manga wanted to be the former, but is actually the latter. Boy is it the latter.

Setting gender politics aside, it's just not a very good manga. Let me correct that: it's not a very good manga which insults the reader's intelligence at every turn. The main character in no way makes a convincing boy (she has huge boobs that she does not try to conceal), and worse still, she works in a coffee shop--as a girl--frequented by all her teammates. Does a skirt and a wig truly hide her identity that much? Is no one supposed to notice that she's completely feminine? And is no one supposed to noice that Midori and Tsukasa spend most of their time groping one another rather than playing soccer? When both of your team's top players disappear *in the middle of a game,* are we really expected to believe that neither coach, nor any of their teammates would come looking for them? Or that this kind of thing could happen repeatedly without anyone ever becoming suspicious? And finally, how are we expected to believe that this manga is actually a love triangle when the main character has sex with Tsukasa in the first chapter (and keeps having sex with him)?

Now back to the gender politics: this manga features one of the worst male leads ever. He has sex with Midori on a bet in the first chapter, telling her that he intends to marry her so it's OK. Turns out, it was all a lie and that he does this sort of thing to poor unsuspecting girls often. He even has a good laugh with his friends about it afterwards. Nice thing to do to your childhood friend. The revenge that Midori decides to take on him for this truly horrible offense never once gets off the ground because she instead spends the rest of the manga blushing over him and allowing him to seduce her. Add in some hint of a sad past for him, and the author expects us to forgive him since he's attractive. Even worse, Midori's soccer playing ability--the one truly stand-out feature about her--goes out the door whenever she's around him. She becomes a lousy player, but according to the manga, that's supposed to be a good thing because it shows her love for him. So, according to this manga: a male can do anything he wants to women, but a good woman should be expected to forgive him, to "stand by her man" under any circumstances, to put his needs before her own, and to allow herself to be lead around and treated like an infant whenever it suits him (i.e., when he wants sex). Furthermore, there's really no need for a woman to have talents of her own when her man has them; she should just be his cheerleader instead. Midori's soccer-playing abilities were only useful to land her Tsukasa; afterwards, there was no need for them. Also! No matter how rotten a guy is, if a woman is persistent enough, and loves him enough, he'll change for her! Only a bad woman would give up on him and choose a more healthy relationship (i.e. Kazuma). The fact that a manga like this is actually marketed towards 13 year old girls is socially irresponsible at best, and downright sickening at worst.

I have briefly scrolled through this manga... first few chapters and it simply amazes me how nobody in the manga notices her(midori's) breast, which are really obvious, when she plays soccer and all. I mean seriously I love genderbender but she should have atleast done a good job at it and bind her boobs or something. Like mizuki in hanakimi who wore this special vest to hide them. It was like a major plot hole... so I stopped reading.
