The main character Hazumu definitely looked better as a girl, and it was hard to get over the fact that he was now a she. Tomari is cute, and a tomboy at that, but her connection with Huzumu was deep because of her childhood friendship. Yasuna was the girl who rejected him originally (although she has a valid reason too).
Once that is out of the way the story becomes a problem because who will Huzumu fall in love with? and did any of them notice he is really a girl now?
There is also the seemingly mysterious Ayuki who kept on throwing me off the trail. But, I am glad I stuck with it because its a bittersweet story with so much potential. Usually I watch the backgrounds for quality, but this time I was too engrossed in the characters and the nagging question of "how will they resolve this situation?"
I did feel that the alien and his sidekick Jan-puu were a bit odd, but they helped provide comic relief that really had a part in what was a very interesting situation.
It is a sweet story about friendship and fate and relationships, and yes, everybody lives sort of happily ever after, but there is still a hint of other things.
This story may not appeal to everybody, but its well worth sticking with.
