Suki koso Momo no Jouzu Nare is the story of a crossdressing boy, Momoi-san, moving in with Sou-kun's family after abandoning his family. Primarily a comedy manga, but offers some romance elements too, and just a teensy bit of ecchi sprinkled in there for good measure.
Due to the obsurity of this series, I'm gonna guess you are already familiar with crossdressing series and were looking up others to read. If, on the other hand, you are unfamiliar with crossdressing manga, welcome aboard! This is definitely a good start, but veterans of the genre may find it a little more generic.
Story - 6
Admittedly, the story
...
is a bit on the plain side, it does not offer much in terms of originality, but that's not to say it doesn't offer some good moments. The characters are the strong point in the series, which I'll get into a little later. Most of the series boils down to a formula of *Momoi does something adorable* Sou-kun: "Wait a second, Momoi-san is a boy! But dang it, he's cute!" If you can think of a typical crossdressing trope, this series has probably got it. On the positive side, the series does not ridicule or demean crossdressers in any way, but it's not exactly here to spread a message either.
Art - 7
The art is good, it's a more simplistic artstyle suitable for a romcom series. Some of the chapters have some colored pages, so that's a plus. Not really too much to say about this other than "Yeah it was good but I wasn't blown away by the art or anything."
Characters - 8
This is the series strongest point. All of the characters are unique, easily recognizable, have varying personalities, and for the most part are all loveable. There aren't many characters you need to keep track of thanks to the series being short, you only have about half a dozen active characters, some only making a couple appearances.
The two main characters, Sou-kun and Momoi-san are the big focus of the series, but let's be real here, you're reading this for Momoi-san since he's the focus of the series as Sou-kun is the generic protagonist. Like I mentioned earlier, Momoi-san is a crossdresser, he's simply a boy that likes wearing girl's clothes in addition to enjoying cute things. He radiates cuteness, so much so that it makes Sou-kun confused about if he likes Momoi-san or not. But his cuteness also leads him into situations where the other characters will take that cuteness and use it to mess with other people (in other words, tease Sou-kun).
Enjoyment - 7
Simply put, it's a short series that I sat down and finished in a couple hours, so it ultimately lacked time for proper character development and used common crossdressing tropes seen in a lot of manga that focus on this theme. However, the series used its characters in an enjoyable way, throwing in a couple curve balls here and there that gave me a good chuckle.
It's a decent series all around, it's worth checking out if you want something quick to read, but as a fair word of warning, be prepared to get a lot of questionable looks if you read around family or in public because Momoi-san does show up topless a couple times and even though he's a boy, it's very much intended to be erotic.
