Ah, I wanted to see more dates in the future! Sadly, it's over now but I wish there were more chapters...

I guess this series wasn't meant to last long.

I am sad...I really enjoyed this manga. I'd love to see more from it. More dates, the loser(s) to find their own happiness, side character development, etc. Whatever to keep it going. I'm so sad it's over...and at only 32 chapters. Too short imo. It ruins some of the enjoyment is manga feels too short.

But best girl win.

So let's drop it and move on.
Yeah it does feel kinda short but it's not a good thing to drag it longer.

Since i am not experienced on romance stuff i have no idea how to extend it without adding any filler or damage the story.

I know. I'm not complaining about who won. I actually like her.

I don't wanna drop it, though! I loved this manga and want more! Not to mention the rest of the manga is fine, but this chapter honestly felt kinda rushed...

I think it doesn't get highlights from Manga readers yet.
Either author expect it to be rushed so she/he can move on the next tittle or just like that.
On max i would want 12 more chapter.
40-50 are quite solid chapter like Scum wish

The author ended it at the right moment instead of dragging it on as long as possible like the usual "I want to keep getting paid" romances out there.

It was quite nice overall, I'll re-read it again if I'm ever bored.

And so ends another series that broke my heart... Well, at least he did accomplish his main goal of healing Aoi, even if in the end it was he who rejected her, not the other way around like he was afraid of in the beginning.

Still the sudden twist towards choosing Botan in the last two chapters did feel rather rushed and would have hurt much less if Aoi hadn't fallen for him as well.

The end! A nice little wrap up to the story, which I quite enjoyed. I thought this was pretty well done (even though aspects were a bit unrealistic). It made me more open to cross dressing type genderbenders. Nice joke at the end, so begins the harem :3

for the first time i seen the best girl win, it's the best.

he did his job to heal Aoi, and Botan is the only girl who see him as he is.

keeping this manga longer will ruin the experience i guess, considering there's no problem at all after ch 32

I loved this manga.

Not because of the girls, or the final ship, but because the main character is crossdressing and starts to like it.

I've... I'm not feeling well with my life, and this type of manga helps me.

Does anyone have a similar manga to read, maybe ?

I'm curious are there supposed to be two more special chapters left or something? It says there's 34 overall. But it can't count the .5 chapters because there are at least three of those (16.5,18.5,26.5) so it would go to 35? Does anyone have any more information on that? I'm really curious what those two chapters are supposed to be and if it will change or implicate the ending at all.

At first I thought the ending was kinda dry, ending just like that. But then I remembered the whole plot and it makes complete sense to end here. MC stopped lying and got a girlfriend, while Aoi got her phobia cured.

I see no point on continuing the story, other than just seeing it go anywhere with no clear goal, and potentially ruining all the good stuff it managed to make.
Great manga. I hope I can buy the volumes.

PD: send greetings to Namo's twitter (the author) and he seems happy for the message. Good to see a mangaka happy for getting messages from gaijins, unlike others who would actually block you even if you follow them just for being foreigner (coff coff iris zero coff coff)

This wasn't bad, it had a lot of cute moments, but it was also kind of underwhelming. It's almost shocking how by-the-book and straight-forward it was, as one would expect a gender bending manga to challenge tropes and conventions a bit more. Ill' give credit where it's due. The nicer and cuter girl "wins" after all, so the "dogged nice girl" trope is averted, and there a few other smaller subversions I appreciate (like how Botan is fine with taking the lead, but also appreciates that Itsuki aims to be more assertive).

I have absolutely no issues with Botan winning, it's just that the way Itsuki realized he liked Botan more than Aoi after all, felt rushed and contrived. I'm also a little disappointed that Aoi was implied to be "not quite straight" only once, and that implication was completely forgotten by the end. She did fall in love with a person she interpreted as a girl for a long time; I don't think I'm wrong for seriously entertaining the possibility.

To be honest, Micchan and Ibuki were the most entertaining characters. It's too bad they had so little focus, relatively speaking.

No. The 34 chapters listed on MAL include the special chapters. That's common practice in the MAL database (thought it's pretty inconsistent, as with a lot of other things). Plus chapter 32 is as conclusive as it gets: it literally says "this story will come to an end here" on the last page.

I'd say that's unlikely. Despite being a gender bending manga, it has barely anything controversial about it. It also has relatively small cast, most of whom aren't viscerally striking, the plot has few twists and there's also not a lot of fanservice going on. I just don't sense the demand that could support a TV anime adapted from this manga. It could receive a fundamental rewrite for TV, but if it had been considered for an anime adaptation, we would have most likely heard about it by now (as the manga ran for more than three years) most likely. I'm not saying it's impossible, but you shouldn't get your hopes up.

I fucking loved this manga. Maybe it was the characters, maybe it was the story, but most likely because the art was so fucking adorable. I wish we could get a bit more development between the trio now that Botan and Itsuki are dating (or at the very least see Aoi's development there), but as that last page said...this is probably the best place to end it.

Botan too adorable. When Itsuki was having that cute attack, I was having a heart attack.

I don't know how many times I came to a manga because it has Gender bender in it, but ended up enjoyed the storyline.

From thw first chapter, i thought it will have an easy storyline, because after some chapter it only filled with itsuki and aoi in it. Then, here comes Botan, who made the story grow up. The conflict are well-made, altough not as intense as i think but I enjoyed it, especially in the scene where itsuki finally revealed himself.

The ending is very surprising, but cute enough. I'm sorry for itsuki-aoi shipper, but I personally love the ship between itsuki-botan, because they fit each other :D and I'm relieved that aoi finally can defeat her androphobia and get more friend in the end.

Overall, hat up for the author and mangaka. If there's a manga that has quality for being an anime source, i always choose this one (alhough it will hard to be real). I'm in no doubt to give it a masterpiece 10/10.

You know, I feel like Itsuki ending up with Botan was such an obvious development. I think the author was foreshadowing it the entire time. Those two just had so much chemistry the entire series and while he enjoyed being with Aoi, he was always shown as being happier when he was with Botan. I didn't want to believe it while reading because I thought there's no way the author doesn't go with the main girl of the series, but they didn't.

I'm just so happy best girl won! It doesn't happen often enough.

I really enjoy it. I really enjoyed all the "aww s--t! I'm almost/gonna be discovered" parts of the manga before he revealed his secret to both, was alot intensity read at the end of each chapter and then have to wait for the translations. After the truth discovered the rest of the chapters were pretty relaxed but was well paced, he got the best girl, the heroine got healed (would nice to see that boy grown up asking her for apologies again but well that is just a extra suggestion) and those two crossdressing dudes are looking for a sping off xD

Never expected at the beggining this manga would be a love triangle one (came for the gender bender tag hehehe), good that is a well done one.

I'm actually glad he ended up with Botan, she's so precious, she deserves happiness ♥

It's not like I dislike Aoi, she was a really good character, I liked her

I ended up liking this way more than I thought. I’m not a fan of yuri or gender bender, but this manga was an exception. Also, I really hoped that Botan would win and I can’t believe that Itsuki actually made the right choice at the end. A bit rushed but it was still conclusive, unlike many other manga I’ve recently read.

I wish this series was longer, I want to see more of the Botan x Itsuki relationship, but also Aoi. These characters are actually so amazing and have such great chemistry with each other I'd love to see more.

Considering she got rejected, Aoi is a pretty nice wingwoman. Botan is just so cute man. That poking her head through Itsuki's dress made me smile so hard. Glad she got her happy ending, but Aoi was also great too. 10/10

Decent Romance. 6/10.
Somewhat predictable, but I'm glad Botan was the heroine who rationally won over Keitarou against Aoi.

It was quite enjoyable and clear to the theme of lying and forgiveness, but it's not grand or unique in any way.
Some may disagree, but in my interpretation, I believe Aoi was more of a crush who he never truly fell in love with, compared to Botan who fell in love with Keitarou. Aoi falling in love with Keitarou as a girl wasn't clear at first, but stated as fact later, although, regardless, as much as Keitarou enjoyed being with them, it never seemed like he truly loved Aoi.
I feel it was mostly circumstancial as an accidental crush from misunderstanding of choosing her for thinking she wasn't afraid of his glare, and he simply continued to have a crush without ever having fallen in love for her character unlike the heroines to him.
Ironically...Arguably, he may not have loved Botan either, but she happens to be the only girl who got along with as himself and not as a drag.

Regardless, no matter- I think it was all portrayed fairly well and that it's logical in the end for him to choose Botan over Aoi.
His "sister" near the middle of the story being revealed to being a trans (former man) was a intriguing surprise but unfortunately was never more than a brief supporter and the one who helped him crossdress.

Miyama was also a intriguing character for being a concept that gives another perspective of comprehension to empathize with Keitarou and how he was a guy who fell in love with Keitarou as a girl, but his use at the end of the story was a little awkward from how meaningless he became after.

Aoi is a plain character, compared to the much more charming Botan who's teasing, direct and energectic which makes her adorable, but either way, it's very easy for me to root for a heroine who has a crush on a guy.

... Aoi's origin of fear for men seems unrealistic, but it is part of the theme of the story with its lame title.
Her sudden cure off it is a little too ridiculous, and Keitarou's ease to smile naturally while being dressed as a girl compared to when he's normal stays a mystery for me, but whatever. Beautiful art and an enjoyable sweet read.

Best girl won though I'm actually surprised ny that a bit. I'm glad things worked out in tbe end. It would be tragic if their relationship ended then and there.

I recently read the book because I knew it was by the same author as Cuprum no Hanayome, but honestly, I didn't expect this outcome. I was really rooting for him to keep tokujira, which by the way, was the most pretentious in the work. This twist was such a good slap in the face of the reader that it took me a night's sleep just thinking about why I had a segment with Botan. Sorry, as cute as Botan is, she didn't deserve to take the stage as a romantic couple. aimed at her as a little sister who had a complex for the protagonist.
