Usotsuki Lily is very unusual manga that takes a typical gender bender shoujo and puts its own twist on it. I say unusual because it's not a story that everyone could get into right off the bat, but once one opens their mind to something a little out of the ordinary, it's truly worth it.

Story: 8
Its centered around a girl named Hinata who accepts a love confession in the first chapter from a boy named En, to only later find out the her new boyfriend has an intense interest in crossdressing.
The basis of the manga is the relationship between these two and how they overcome the difficulties their faced with down the road (the story has more to it then just this though). Overall, the story is absolutely hilarious! Its one of those manga where one doesn't go a single chapter without laughing, whether its simply giggling or laughing hysterically. It also beaks the fourth wall a lot in the manga, so in a way, its kinda like a parody on shoujo manga. With that being said, I did cry in some chapters because of super sweet and some sad moments. The author does a great job by not putting in "shoujo drama", making this manga such a fun read. It takes the gender bender genre to a new level with going into topics like what makes a guy a guy and what makes a girl a girl despite the obvious difference. It sends the message to readers that no matter who you are as a person, you deserve and will find, love.

Art: 9
The art was obviously very shoujo like, hence thats it's genre, but it was very well done. The manga is filled with super hot guys and adorable/hot girls, in which the author did a great job in drawing them.

Characters:
This manga dosen't neglect any of their characters, to the point where it even jokes on who the main character of the story really is. Even each of the "secondary characters" gets more than one chapter centered on just them. Honestly, I can't decide on who my favorite character is, since all of them are unique and adorable in their own way.

Enjoyment: 10
Like I said before, this manga is really funny. So who does't enjoy a manga to its fullest when it makes one laugh. I actually couldn't stop reading it after the first few chapters, because it just hooks you so quick.

Overall: 8
I give it an 8 overall and not a 9 or 10, because when it comes down to it, its a really just a fun read. Its not anything serious and it doesn't have a compelling story. However, that does't mean its not still really good...it was just not meant to be that type of manga (not everything can be a masterpiece like mars and nana). With that being said, I really loved reading Usotsuki lily!


PS: Please don't judge me if this review was bad lol, because I'm not very good at reviews. However, I just have to write my thoughts about a manga or anime I really enjoyed....so bare with me ;D
