This is probably one of my favorite crossdressing mangas. It's light on the fanservice, it's funny, and some of it is genuinely touching. It also didn't feature any of that save-from-a-sexual predator nonsense that I commonly see in gender bender manga (I just find that plot device to usually be tasteless and crude). I think that the author probably could have had more ideas for the story that could have extended the manga but I like what we have.
All in all, a fun read.

The story was entertaining... How the motivations and inner emotions of the characters unfolded.. But I feel unsatisfied. I guess we are not supposed to truly understand what Jinhan's intentions were. Also, I found it all very unromantic. I mean, I knew they were going to end up together but never actually wanted them to. I'm not sure how I wanted it to end. Anyone else feel as conflicted as me?

Reading this was like playing a game of 'guess who's REALLY the messed up one?' I don't feel like there was enough build up to the reveal in the epilogue. Like how exactly was the brother able to manipulate him so thoroughly? I dunno how I feel about this one. I am usually a fan of manipulative characters (they just make interesting stories!), but this one just didn't work for me in the end.
I don't even know how to think about this one. If anything, it's interesting because it presents questions that I feel totally uncomfortable thinking about. Is Harada saying this relationship is okay? That society is destroying their happiness and that we should let them be? Or is this all the main character's brainwashing? Mai, the outsider, seems to approve. But on the last page, the main character repeats himself, trying to reassure himself that he is not wrong, which might indicate that he is not sure himself.
I think I just want to forget about this one.
I am scared to think more of this manga... but I did feel something was a bit off tho
I think provoking our thoughts on this vile issue was the point of this manga. Instead of sweeping the issue under the rug of "NOPE. It's fucked up, let's not talk about it shall we?". This just presents one of the many outcomes that could happen to abuse victims and it's an outcome that society doesn't approve of. It makes you think how many of these people live in that shadow and for some reason makes you feel that uncomfortable twinge of sympathy towards them.
Totally agree!
AMEN!!
