Your & My Secret

I dont even know where to begin.... The catagories this manga is listed as are about as far from the nature of the story as it could be. This is in no shape or form a romantic comedy, it is a psychological tradegy drama - the notion it could be anything else but a tragedy can only be due to either not having read the entire story or simply not paying mind to what is going on. The score will be based on MAL's listed genres. The primary "comedy" is nothing but overused tropes - an old pervert and a massive siscon. Feeling massively out of placein the setting and artstyle, the supposedly fun scenes simply leaves you with an eyeroll instead of a chuckle. Our protagonist (Akira) find himself unwillingly forced into the body of his love interest (Nanako) whom turns out to be one of the most egotistical and unlikeable characters you could imagine. Throughout the story it becomes more and more apparent that the supporting characters are all antagonist - his supposedly "bestfriend" since childhood attempts to rape him on multiple occasions, which for some reason just gets brushed off as "whatever". Everyone surrounding Akira shows no empathy towards his situation even as they learn it, including his family which much to Akira's distress turns out to having disliked his former self and with open arms essentially letting Nanako steal his identity. As if the rape attempts by Senbongi wasn't disturbing enough, how Nanako's best friend pays no mind to what trauma induced the dramatic change in "Nanako" cannot help but leave you to wonder if the story is about how easy it is for sociopath's to "hide" in front of their social circle. As the story progress you can feel nothing but empathy and sadness for Akira's torment. The supporting cast slowly but surely shows to be nothing but narcissists who abuse Akira to futher their agenda. Akira is continuous exposed to physical and psychological torture from everyone which culminates in the complete and utter destruction of his self-consciousness and soul. In regards to MAL's listed genres this is a spectacular failure that should be avoided. If viewed as what it really is - a psychological tragedy - it is actually quite good if you can ignore the horribly misplaced "comedy".

I recommend that you should stay away from this manga if you: - strongly emphasize with fictional characters - have alot of self-respect - have alot of respect for other people - have a big sense of justice - value ideology and moral - are sensitive You would score the manga very low if you are interested in a deep romance.If you are here for unique spicy, forbidden love and scandalous love triangles including yuri and yaoi and don't care for inner feelings of the characters then this manga might be a 8/10 or higher for you. Genres: Comedy, Romance, School, Shoujo, Slice of Life, Gender Bender This is actually wrong. Only the 1/3 part of the manga feels like that. The rest is just psychological horror for me. It contains the usual highschool arcs and usual love stuff just with genderbend and love triangle. Through every arc you experience the same pain. No emotional progress of the characters at all. At least give me some progress in a crazy negative way which completely turns the story. But it's just torture. I liked the drawings and the story/idea and the execution was very genious IMO. But the lack of the character depth and missing character development destroyed everything without a reason. Some people might recognize something like character development. But that would just be hidden character traits which are shown later in the manga - no change, just revealing that you have shit in your undies the whole day long. I did not give an ok score because I think that uniqueness and a special idea doesn't justify a crime. Even if the purpose / the main point of this manga was to deliver some fanservice to the people, you could still make the story so much better with low effort. I have nothing against love triangles yuri and yaoi and soft rape. But this is wasted potential. In fact reading the manga felt like torture. It was like being forced to watch someone you don't want to be raped, raped in front of you. I gave a 2/10 instead of a 1/10 because I think that the idea of the story and the graphical work is good. I read this manga in one day, because I hoped for progress. But all I got was a story destroyed by stupid characters. It's basically like a bad horror movie.

Want to state this at the start of the review. But i might come back and lower this to a 3 in the future. Just nothing but Annoying, Cringy, Unfunny and stupid moments. Biggest hate i have for this entire story is that the two MC's don't even get together. It's so annoying to watch some guy's best friend almost rape him multiple times just because he's now a chick. I can't even properly explain how much this entire story annoyed me and the biggest problem is this right her. Also things like the chick that goes into the guy's body is just a total asshole that goesand sleeps with other women while dating her best friend and also telling the guy that's in the women's body not to even hold hands with anyone or be sad. 2nd worst thing about this is that they don't even return to their original bodies ffs. That's the one thing you always do in body swap stories because no one wants to see two people in the wrong body and i feel that i don't need to explain why it's wrong. I feel that my 2nd issue wouldn't be as bad if the two of them fell in love while being in each others body but even then that would still be bad. I would have loved it shit tons more if it ended with both of them back in their original bodies and have the chick still dating her best friend ( They never told her that her boyfriend is actually her best friend and that her boyfriend has been going around cheating on people) Have the guy not be in love with his friend ( Need i remind you that his friend has tried raping him multiple times when he was a girl) Like i never really like gay romances because they never seem natural and seems weird in stories. But this is made even worse when one of them has tried RAPPING HIS BEST FRIEND. Like honestly they just gloss over this shit like it's nothing and acts like it doesn't lead to mental trauma. Hell, if the story found the need to have the two guys be together then jsut have his gender be changed or some shit. I just can't put into words how much this annoyed me and it's no wonder it took me over a week to finish when i have to deal with some of the worst cast of characters in a manga i'v seen in the past month or two. Again worst part is that the two MC's don't fall in love. The one thing the entire audience is wanting and rooting for and not for the guy to fall for the rape guy and the cheating girl to get the friend who is completely innocent. I still don't know why they went this route of them not falling in love and switching bodies back but it easily lowers this score to anything decent to kind of bad. Only thing i can say is that the girl's personality is funny the first few chapters but after that i stopped caring after she threatens the other MC for the millionth time with violence if the MC show's any type of human emotion. I do think that the Personality is best fitted for the girl body though. Overall i can't recommend this at all and suggest you avoid unless you need you blood to boil a bit. Edit: Fuck i didn't even mention how crappy it is for the guy in the girls body because he no one missing him and no one caring about him besides the rape guy. His own family likes the girl as their son better then him and it's honestly depressing. Like fuck sake, Not only does this dude lose his body but he also realizes he is alone in this world ( Not counting rape dude) and doesn't even have anyone to talk to about because if he does then the chick will beat the shit out of him.

I decided to read this manga after reading hana kimi and Tokyo crazy paradise and then I enjoyed gender blenders a lot. It wasn't as good as these two but it was pretty hilarious I laughed a lot and enjoyed it a lot For story I give 6 it's really original but very annoying the way it goes at the beginning is a bit too slow that I actually went thru some pages only by looking at the pictures For the art I give 7 it's really funny the way the artists draws the different expressions of each character For character I give 6 sometimes momoiand Akira really pissed me off the way he can't stand up for himself and the way she had all the control and messed with his life as she pleases however as the events unfold the characters evolved and they became more agreeable For enjoyment I give 8 it's actually a hilarious manga Overall it's 7 a funny manga but if u get irritated by characters with weak personalities I don't recommend it and also it has a bit of yaoi
