Yet another Manga I have no clue how I found randomly but I remember reading the scans of way back when I was in high school as they were being translated for the first time and since my last cram session made me want to revisit something to see what I thought in retrospect I figured I'd go back and give this a re-read and well here I am a few hours later and all i can say is eh.

The plot simply put is a dude living alone has a cute girl move into his apartment who claims to be a long lost childhood friend looking for a fresh start who while appearing to be the perfect woman is actually a dude and from there you get a fairly underwhelming but interesting harem with a host of characters that are semi bland and one dimensional but overall still not entirely unlikable and as for the lewdness it's fairly tame when you really think about it with the only real nudity being shown via a woman that's very legal and everything else just being more situational humor or pantie shots which is aright I guess.

The concept was there but it didn't really expand much beyond a surface level be yourself and don't lie kind of slice of life story with some fairly underwhelming artwork and character designs, but like the last manga I reviewed this was still an amusing read that left me wanting to finish it and see if it ever took off but judging by the fact that the majority of reviews on here are pretty old and all over the place I'd say that there's a reason there's never been an animated take on this 5 volume series nor any attempts to seemingly translate it for western audiences.

I'd say if you want a short trashy romance novel kind of love story that won't make you think too hard then you could do much worse but overall this was a fairly rushed piece of literature that I'm not sure how in the hell I ever was interested to read it in the first place let alone actually finish it twice but even with that in mind I still did finish it twice and being that I normally never delve into the subject matter of dude on dude awkward romance situational comedy things I'd say this deserves a bit higher on it's overall score for that.
