This is a brilliant manga that I don't believe has gained the credit it deserves. As the summary states, it's mostly about the cross dressing of a boy and a girl, and the various misadventures that they encounter while doing so... It sounds rather cliche, doesn't it? Not worth reading?

It just so happens that it is bloody spectacular.

This manga is ok. It isn't that funny. The characters aren't that engaging. The art is fine. The story is logical, and hangs together, but nothing about it is particularly *exciting*.

I was expecting to enjoy it more as I am liking a lot of gender-benders at the moment, but this one just never really caught me.
