⚾️🖊️ Taeju (MC 2)

🧢 Haewon (MC 1)

expressive, tomboy,
raised as a boy
quit baseball and moved towns

🌷Maya (side character)

flirty, bright, sweet
mends more resigned and composed

‘secret’ long time crush on MC 2
drama

[ ASPECTS / TROPES ]

he falls first
primarily focused on MC 1’s POV
hidden identity
childhood friends find each other again
slow burn romance
bad communication/ drama (some things just seem to be there to stretch out the plot. Like MC 1’s past identity being kept secret for longer than necessary)
school romance
sweet romance (kissing only near the end)

Really good my last Manga I read before a new year, honestly I liked it that at the very least they confessed before the last chapter like some mangas usually do and then I get a. Lil sad cus I don't get to see what happens after. but this one is different because they confessed and we actually get to see what's going on, and it has a happy ending over all I don't re-read Mangas I just remember all of them and am definitely going to remember this one and while the ending did feel a bit rushed it still made it to the point where the story made sense. There were gaps but it's still a good manga I wish more Mangas where like this one but overall Great manga 8/10 would recommend if your looking for a Gender Bender with Romance in it. I hope someone sees this after 2024 (aka 12 hours until 2025🎊)

Japanese to Korean setting

I liked the ending just because the main couple finally had the good ending they deserve. Because all throughout I was frustrated by the MC basically being a pushover and the side female character being the most annoying character I have read lately. Apparently the author's two (2) works both have a rushed ending so I don't know if that's a signature move. 😅 We weren't given much explanation why the MC's gender changed too. But not gonna lie, I was really invested in the couple. 😂

What I'm really curious about is how this changed from Japanese to Korean. Because I was used to the Japanese (fan translation) but from reading the Official English they followed the Korean version. Now that I know who the author is and that she is Korean (or has a Korean name at least), I'm wondering why the story was released in first in Japanese.

Unfortunately hard to read

A really nice story between between two characters ruined by the obnoxious side characters and constant avoidance of any actual development. Probably would have been better as a much shorter series.

You might enjoy it if you enjoy slow burn and don't mind side characters who force their way into the protags life (who then does nothing to deter them and basically has no agency)
