As a queer person myself I enjoy reading manga about femboys/otonoko/crossdressing/etc. I initially checked out this manga solely for its title and summary. Something about wholesome queer romance just hits me. This web manga was more than the premise though. The first chunk of this review will be mostly spoiler free. I will only be talking vaguely about themes and characters. The second half will be filled with spoilers but I will leave my scores before that. I was not mentally ready for this manga. I went into it expecting a fluffy rom com with crossdressing. I had just caught up with a different series that was just that. This manga is about a crossdresser and the MCs relationship with them but it also deals with themes of choice sexuality gender identity identity crisis self worth bigotry difficult parents etc. Too many things in this manga hit really close to home for me and so many of the struggles felt so real. Self doubt and indecision are core themes of this manga. I loved how the manga portrayed queerness. All aspects this manga covered was done so well and tastefully. Even the best queer manga can have some problematic aspect to it but this one manages to understand itself. The story is a character one. The plot and is shaped by the main 3 characters. The manga seemed to only be planned up until the first major climax. But after receiving serialization and then even printing the manga continued till 100 chapters. It is clear the story from that point on is the mangaka writing characters first. While some may read this and feel 100 chapters was unnecessary for the story that was told I thoroughly enjoyed every chapter. I was deeply invested and wanted to see the characters make it to the end and be happy. There are many swings in the narrative but none ever feel forced. There was never a point where I felt they were just padding out the story. I am also the type to want mangas to go on forever. As childish as that sounds I love the stories that really take their time and let the reader enjoy reading. But characters you want to read about are required for such a feeling. This is not to say the manga goes slow or just meanders around. The plot is always moving somewhere. The art is really pretty when it needs to be and is in full color the entire time but I wouldnt call it amazing. Its a pleasing style to look at. For Story its a solid 9 Same for the characters. Both are easily the stand outs of the manga. A lot of your enjoyment in reading the manga will be how much you connect with the main characters. As mentioned the art is good. I personally give it a 7. It has its moments but its just a good looking web novel for the majority of it. Where 5 is average for everything giving this manga a high 8low 9 comes a lot down to how much I personally got from the series. Moving into the spoiler section: The love triangle that forms about 1/3rd through was meh for me at first. Ryuji struggling with his sexuality really did click with me and I felt so conflicted. The manga really does make you root for Ryuji and then reminds you that rooting for him means the main two wouldnt work. Ryuji struggling with his sexuality while Hanaoka struggles with his gender make for such an interesting dynamic. Seeing Saki deal with indecision and struggling with two absent parents and an aging grandmother while trying to figure out all of her emotions was so engaging. I just wanted to reach through the screen and give her a hug. So many stories like this have miscommunications and half truths and people not saying what they want to say. I always disliked when mangas would do that. Most of the time people talk it out and this manga doesnt shy away from that. The characters talk to each other and it doesnt always work out. Each character is dealing with their own issues and cant always support each other. Sometimes I did wish the manga was more light hearted. Sakis story with her parents and Hanaokas story with his family really did a number on me emotionally. The fact it mostly worked out in the end and the main couple finally got together is good enough. Its not the perfect fairy tail ending but it didnt need to be. This review was much more informal than my others. I just had such strong emotions towards this manga.
