this is going to be a bit spoilery so consider yourselves warned, AND WEAR PROPER MOTORCYCLE GEAR!
this anime is slow, simplistic, and at times repetitive,
it follows the story of a high school girls, who has nothing, but she ends up buying a HONDA super cub, and in the first episodes it felt like a promotional piece ahahhah
BUT for motorcycle enthusiasts like myself, those first episodes where also the most endearing, watching this girl being giddy over her bike, is a realistic reaction to your first bike. super cubs and similar bikes from other brands are extremely popular, all over the world, and a very
...
good way of transportation.
and once we are past the point of giddiness episodes things start to take a downfall. I understand she has no money but holy shit, she chose a raincoat for bikers that costs 6000 yen or so, instead of getting proper gear (jacket with armour) and get a normal raincoat with like 800 yen (the yellow plastic ones).
then you have the other girls Reiko, who is recklessly stupid, like you wanna go up Fujisan, WEAR SOME DAMN GEAR, she fell 100 times and not even a rip on her clothes, no road rash nothing, her wearing manual work gloves instead of biker gloves, lol seriously? I had a cheap pair of gloves (still biker ones but cheap) when I got into an accident, and guess what I broke my wrist! and then they go to the snow and they even remove their helmets, not to mention that reiko demands the other girl to go find her while it's snowing. incredibly irresponsible.
then instead of again getting some damn gear they went for the wind shield, girl wind doesn;t harm you, a fall off the damn bike will. at some point they wear jumpsuits, but they are never addressed whether they are biker ones, so who knows.
now that i properly ranted about moto gear lol, I gotta say that the friendships in the show are really cute.
once again since the show decided to be a bad example, people WEAR YOUR DAMN MOTO GEAR, it saves lives.

This manga is really cute and funny, and that's something, coming from me who doesn't read hetero romance, as I'm a yuri head.
I'm reading the Raw so I'm up to chapter 20, and I have enjoyed the story so far.
from this point on there are going to be spoilers
as the summary states, a collage guy is invited to a mixer by a classmate. he and his 2 friends go to the meeting place and instead of the cute girls they saw in the pictures sent to them, they meet 3 handsome boys.
it doesn't take long for them to realize that the girls they
...
met are simply, crossdressing for their part time job they had to go to, in a crossdressing bar.
now if you know anything about Japanese culture, and anime/manga crossdressing is a big thing. crossdressing bars/cafes are for women, what maid cafes are for men. Therefore there is a lot of high level handsome flirting going on, done by the girls. The funny part is that they proceed to lead the flirting with these boys, who are caught off guard because they actually fall for the act and charm like the women at the bar.
what is cute about the story is how these boys gradually accept the confusing feelings they feel about dating women who are dressed and act like guys. each couple gets their own little stories, and there are always funny moments because the girls don't change the way they act at all, and the boys discover more feelings that they didn't know they were capable of feeling.
crossdressing is so serious in Japan that it's not easy to tell if someone is the gender they ID as or if they perform the gender they appear as. That of course is shown in the story as those girls pass for boys very easily, and because of that the boys appear to date other boys.
the art is very aesthetically pleasing, and when funny faces come to play they are hilarious. I laughed a lot reading this manga, so the comedy is *chef kiss*
the story might feel repetitive at times. because it revolves around the same 6 people, but the exploration of those boys' feelings is very interesting and quite refreshing.
highly recommended as it is exactly what it says it is, a romantic comedy.
I learned about the existence of this manga, because of the announcement of a TV Drama that starts later in October based on it

This is an autobiographic manga of the author and her girlfriend, and it is the sweetest, cutest, disgustingly adorable domestic story ever. highly recommended for a good time.
the art is cute, and it fits the story's overall cuteness
blood sugar is going to skyrocket with this one :D be prepared
story is us unique as domestic romance can be
the character might seem a bit one dimensional but that's the nature of the story, flashbacks and such help with analyzing the characters on specific matters.
since this is not only a slice of life but a biopic, i could say that every domestic little detail was
...
realistic, to the point the author was scared her story was going to be boring lol
This is not a deep think piece, it's a sweet little story that will warm anyone's heart. Also it's a queer author drawing about her life. I think in the end it will show an important aspect of how queer relationship exist and survive and thrive in Japan.

First off, This is a Shoujo manga and it much be treated as such. means kick ass protagonist, obvious plot line, simplicity, drama over drama, and a romantic note with an equally obvious pairing!
If you are not into Shoujo you most probably won't enjoy this manga.
Art: The art is very high Quality and beautiful, just a look inside the manga will give you a very good impression
Characters:
Ran the protagonist is the archetype of kick ass cross dressing female characters in shoujo manga. Powerful, Beautiful, Kind, Strict, Protective, Honest to the bone, but also Soft, Elegant, Romantic and Caring. The portrayal of
...
the "perfect man" that only a girl can pull off.
Sei the rich girl, it also follows the Archetype in shoujo with the rich girl being also very kind, elegant, smart, selfless, noble to the bone, all in all a true Queen
Ibara is the character who maybe is not the perfect guy but his goodness and honesty make him very likable
Enjoyment: Personally I enjoy this manga very much and I'm checking for updates everyday but that's only my personal taste.
Finally The Story:
A girl decides to live her life as a man, crossdresses herself and be a noble knight and protects the noble princess! A very successful recipe in Shoujo history.
It follows the standards of the very first shoujo manga, and brings back the wonderful feelings of the times back in 70's (when shoujo masterpieces existed)
Even though the story line is simple: "The first knight fights other candidates white gloved knights for the position of the first knight etc." the plot is open to twists, new characters come and go and even though you might have a view of what may be happened in the end of the story you want to know what kind of twists this story line is capable off. The plot is easy to follow, but not boring to the slightest.
If you are into shoujo manga and philosophy then try it!
Those who are familiar with "Rose of the Versailles" the story even though it is placed in different timeline, it has that kind of aura
Strong points: Art, the nobility of the 3 main characters, very mysterious villains, and the mystery of who is the big bad guy of the story!
a turn off for those who are not into shoujo is that, this manga is the epitome of shoujo :)
