Preliminary (263/263 chp)
Is your loved one struggling to reach her dreams? Well, man up! Dress up as a woman and help your darling to become part of the top idol group. At least that's what our main protagonist Urayama Minoru did. And is it working out? well.. that's for you to find out, or you can get a glimpse of hint by reading this review.

STORY 7 - Well there is this one girl Yoshinaga and her wish is to become a part of AKB idol group. The guy Minoru is her secret lover. Cute right? And then there were auditions or something along those lines. And because Yoshinaga is so insecure, Minoru went to help her out. But oh-my-couldn't-predict-it-at-all they both get accepted.
Surprisingly, Minoru himself is doing quite well. And maybe he is a better idol than the person he tries to help. Yet, there are always those ''but'' parts of the story...
He can't stay forever as a female.. Right.. so this is why the story intrigues me. I really want to see how this mess of hiding your own gender turns out in the end of this story. And for that i am ready to read it until the revealing happens, even if some arcs get too long and predictable at times.


ART 9 - Art is really great. I like the details, characters look nice and beautiful, amazing angles, etc. Nothing bad to say.

CHARACTER 7 - Characters are good. Minori is quite strong-willed and i quite like ''her'' and i think ''she'' is the best character of the story. In addition, Minori/Minoru's gender hiding dilemma makes him a very interesting character overall. Anyways, this manga has many female and some other weird characters in it and i guess they all fit into the plot. They haven't impressed me much though. But there might be characters that some of you might really like. There are a lot of cute girls.

ENJOYMENT 9 - So far this has been very enjoyable. I just really want to see how Minoru will end up after all that mess. The excitement got a new push at chapter 119 so lets see how it turns out. The story gets also very enjoyable around 200th + chapters.

Overall I'd rate it 8. It has its ups and downs but overall quite enjoyable gender-bender manga. The latest chapters are very enjoyable. Even if you do not know all that idol system you can understand what is going on.
Tip: if you happen to get bored just skip few chapters, but there might not be a need to do that. For now, this hasn't been a let-down and if you are interested, give this manga a try.

Update: 6 years later I finally had the chance to finish reading this series. I must say I felt quite lonely after finishing it, because the atmosphere drew me in.

So even if some arcs felt a bit unrealistic in their solution, i didn't really mind it much. Because I find stories where main character has to hide who they really are really interesting and hiding your gender makes it a unique story that is hard to forget.
