Mixed Feelings
It starts very strong and loses energy and strength about a third through, and continues to drag until the ending.

What I like is the premise. What I like is the characters: and all of them. I know a lot of people hate Aoi for making the love triangle but she's pretty adorable. Maybe a little bland but I think they handle her well and she serves her purpose in starting the manga. Makoto and Ryuiji as well- honestly every character in this manga is kind of cute and enduring. These characters and the premise are strong I became invested enough to keep reading even though I didn't particularly the second two thirds of this manga. Even though I didn't like two thirds of the manga, I like the main trio enough to consider it alright, and I'd probably read another issue.

I think mangas about cross dressing men are inherently strong. There's built in conflict, built in character development, built in character attributes and a defining outline for how the story has to go- and again, it's all really enduring, charming. An easy read especially for a bad day.

The problem this manga has is Makotos conflict about his internal perception is solved way too early, Ryuji's internal conflict about loving Makoto is also solved too early; and as much as I like Aoi her conflict about her parents is not interesting in the slightest. The love triangle starts strong but as time passes and with each successive issue, the reader is left wondering; why is this still going on? Can Makoto just make up his mind already? Increasingly, the love triangle is forced to escalate itself to keep the readers invested; however with each issue there is less room to escalate and at a point it feels like none of the characters actually care about each other as they seem allergic to accepting the feelings of the others.

Anyways, 5/10 I think the art is nice too
