so it's already 7 volumes now, and i'm still on the edge of my seat. 🙂
there are a lot of criticisms going around but i beg to differ. here is my take on things.
romance and gender bender:
this is a gender bender manga, so expect some same sex infatuations or whatever you call it.
in fact, i praise this manga for being true to the genre, unlike most gender benders that are half-hearted.
at least, in this manga, you can see that LOVE TRANSCENDS GENDER.
and that it doesn't necessarily have to be a love between the two main characters. (this is the issue for some since they've been pushing for a momoixakira pairing. well i also would accept the idea.)
let's be open minded, please.
whether it's a girlxboy or boyxboy pairing, let's just accept which pairing prevails. 🙂
characters:
momoi is a b***h.she gets on everybody's nerve. we all know that by now. but that's her personality. an exaggeration that was intended by the mangaka.
akira is pathetic. girly beyond what a girl is. heck she's a disgrace both to men and women. nonetheless, an exaggeration that was intended.
the mangaka is trying to poke fun at the stereotypes of how girly girls and arrogant boys behave.
plot:
don't take things seriously. it is meant to be insanely ridiculous. 🙂
if you're looking for realism or logic, this isn't the right manga for you.
heck, don't expect to find it in any of ai morinaga's works.
comedy:
more than the romance, i've been reading this because of the humor.
ai morinaga is really amazing.
she never fails to crack me up.
releases:
this comes out in japan once in every two months!! no!
i can't wait. 🙁
all in all, this is something i won't get tired of. XD
