Reversible!

I was looking for some trap manga to read, and the idea to re-read this one popped into my head, and after re-reading, I thought I'd check some reviews out and write one. Story: The story was very well laid out with quite a, what I'd say, deep meaning behind it. As you go along through to the middle of the series, I found it tended to get a little difficult to understand and follow the direction the story was taking, but it quite effectively got the concept and message across. I read it expecting to be trap romance, but it did take quite a differentturn, with less focus on the trap and (subtle) shounen ai aspect and more on the "friendship and respect" area of "love". However, the story is still enjoyable for most people I'd say. Art: I personally love the art for this manga, it suits the story quite well. Very simplistic and not overly filled with effects like most shoujo or any manga that would seemingly focus on romance. It tends to get a bit more cartoony at comedic scenes, which fits well with the weight of the manga. And of course, trap manga, the mandatory panty shots. And Bulge. Character: Great development of the characters and their personalities. Easy to grasp the type of character each of them are as well as relatively light background story development, with more focus on developing their current character with only necessary background and flashbacks for the two main-main characters. Enjoyment: The manga is enjoyable, not just as a trap manga, I'd say less enjoyable as a trap manga and more so as a manga about friendship and platonic feelings, it deserves some respectful enjoyment for conveying that aspect so well. Generally enjoyable for almost any manga reader (or even non-manga readers) unless any bit of trap or shounen ai irks them to the point that they can't read it. As I've said, slightly hard to follow as it climaxes, but the concept it conveys is very light and enjoyable, a manga for some light heartstring pulling without a serious plot twist or problem. Very good manga: 9/10

Overall it was a really good series. It ends really abruptly though, I followed it for a while and was really surprised when the final chapter came out. There weren't any signs that it was going to end so soon. The ending provided closure, but whether it was good or not is up to the reader. I thought it was fine, how sudden it was is disappointing though. Anyways. The story is good, and pretty interesting as far as trap manga goes. It's about a boy who transfers into an all-boys school after running into some issues at his previous school. The catch is that everyone hasto crossdress. They did a surprisingly good job at making it more than just fetish-material. There was a part where they described the purpose of the school as "allowing men to see life from the perspective of both men and women". Those aren't the exact words, but the gist of what it said. They did well on it, and the characters were also very enjoyable. The cast was varied and I really enjoyed how they mixed Yaezaki's masculine and feminine traits. I'd recommend it to anyone that wants a good, short story about traps or even highschool in general. There is a bit of fanservice, but I really think it could appeal to a wider audience than the one that it was aimed at.

Definitely better than I expected. The story never really stagnates and actually picks up quite fast. Sadly as many others have pointed out, I think the biggest flaw here is how rushed it feels near the end. We get a lot of interesting side characters and development but it speeds to the ending, leaving it feeling a bit empty. I don’t mind it much but it could have used a couple more chapters at least. The characters are fun and have great chemistry. Jokes don’t get run into the ground even if the development of their characters are near surface level. Considering the core subject,I don’t think it explored its themes in a unique way but with its length I don’t think this holds the manga back. As for the art, I don’t mind it at all. The character designs are very cute but there’s nothing too notable about the style. I actually think reading this in color might be nice, due to the complementary clothes and hair. The paneling never got distracting or anything. Overall this was very easy to pick up and read so I recommend it if you want a story that covers a lot of ground in a short amount of time.

The first few chapters will draw you in because it will be exactly what you were expecting: Comedy Ecchi! But then the later chapters, although still interesting, will start shifting towards Drama and Romance. But unfortunately, I don't think it's impact reflects the same sort of momentum that the story began with. The middle chapters especially, I found the dialogue between characters tip-toeing around the issues quite often and it was confusing to follow (perhaps just an issue with translation) and slowed the pace of the story. It was great that each character gets their spotlight for backstory/development, but nothing substantial was truly achieved by theend of it in my opinion. It's like, they only just confirmed what they already felt, thus the story only budged slightly. Furthermore, too many details about the characters are left out to really connect to any of them. You understand their emotions because they are reinforced through the dialogue (or inner monologue), but you don't actually get a real event and greater context to really make these emotions believable to the reader. Show, don't tell! The art style was pretty great and the characters/outfits were cute. I just had some issues with composition (occasional small text boxes that were hard to read). Overall, quite a strange manga, but of course, I don't regret reading it. If you truly like traps, a low score doesn't even matter. The focus and care that went into this production is a small treasure in its own right, so find in it whatever will be useful to you.
