Nousatsu Junkie (Manga)

I just recently finished reading the available chapters of this manga and I must admit it got me hooked up.I was searching for something fresh and entertaining after reading more serious stuff and "bumped" into this series.
The story is cute and although the gender bender detail is pretty weird,it's thins detail that actually makes this manga interesting!
What I most like about the manga is the relationship between the main characters,which gives the reader a confortable feeling.Naka is a girl full of complexes because people keep on telling her that she has a criminal-like face while Umi is a person that lives 2 completely different lives,being forced by the cicumstances to pretend to be someone else almost all the time.While becoming friends,the two of them start understanding each other and healing each other's pains.Naka finally founds somebody who accepts her together with her flaws,while Umi finally finds somebody to whom he can show his true self.After all,isn't this everyone wants to find?A place where you can be yourself,a place next to someone who understands you and accepts you the way you are?I think this is the main idea of this manga and this is the thing I like most about it.
The plot is also fun and it gets more and more interesting while the storyline evolves.So if you start reading it and don't find it interesting don't worry!Please give it a chance and don't drop it!If at first this manga seems pretty ordinary,you'll be surprised be the fact that it gets more and more fun!You'll get the chance to see really cute moment ^_^ and you'll find out surprising new parts of the characters' personalities and feelings (especially the boys').And if it doesn't seem interesting enough,how about the beginning of a love triangle?
As a conclusion,I think that if you are a shoujo manga fan , Charming Junkie is a promising manga that you should consider reading!Sorry for not giving other details,but they would have all turn into spoilers probably XD read more

I can't speak for other readers of the manga, but it's my favorite. First of all, the story isn't the most original; I've personally seen a few manga series with a similar plot. But the artwork, characters, and overall series, is pretty good.

If you like humor, romance, and just plain o' wackiness, than Nosatsu Junkie (Charming Junkie) is your ticket.
