Here's my take after reading the 9 of the manliest hardcore chapters of Back Street Girls by Jasmine Gyuh.

How would I start with this to not make it sound gross and creepy...

Back street girls is a story about 3 yakuza men who were forced to undergo gender reassignment surgery to become the new and upcoming idols in Japan.

Yeah, it's a premise that might turn you off in giving the story a shot, but let me tell you that once you got past that stage, it is a great and entertaining manga to read.

Watching Ryu, Kazu, and Big Brother struggle to be the perfect idols with the yakuza's principles and ideas is one heck of a ride! I laughed a lot while reading through their antics and struggles as individuals and as a team.

The approach with the art is great it is clean and fluid while the characters are easy to distinguish from each other.

All in all, if you want quirky fun manga to read. I would recommend this to you.

With that said, I would give Back Street Girls 9 sticky handshakes out of 10.

So...... I read it !!

I don't even know my actual opinion on this. It's such a weird thing to read. It's more like a right of passage then anything.

Comedy is out there. I at least was laughing once every chapter so there's that.

Only two things that actually kind of bugged me i guess.

. Overuse of having weird faces for the MC's. You'll know what i'm talking about if you read it.

. While yes it's a comedy and not meant to be taken seriously. I'm more just feeling bad for the three and wanting them to get away from the boss.

I also kind of wish we got to see them after their surgery and see their reactions too it. I thought that the story would do something like knock them out and do the surgery without telling them. Might have been more funny like that.

Otherwise this is a pretty interesting read.
