Okay, officially love this manga. It's so cute and funny! I love Miyuki. She's sweet, but she also stands up for Sano. She believes in him so much that she even gives him the strength to overcome his injury. He has a psychological block now that he's physically healed, but Miyuki's faith in him drives him never to give up. It's so sweet.
Of course, there's some of the normal female obliviousness in this series. Sano knows that Miyuki is a girl. He k...more

Seems like I was biased in my first review because the story is not getting better, and while I fully enjoyed the first volume, several things in this one made me roll my eyes a couple of times. First, Ashiya/Mizuki cries too much. Very whinny, but at the same time (typical shoujo character) she is optimistic.
Second, Sano is getting too soft, a bit corny. And Nakatsu and Minami have practical none scenes, which means less laughs.

I still have trouble with the names but (view spoiler) That was the best part okay okay OKAY.
And now I know the korean drama version of this manga only took the main idea of the story, because this is so different! I loved this volume, and I'm very very eager to read the next one!

The second installment in the series, and another fabulous romp. Mikuzi is still causing confusion and angst in her male classmates, but only a select few know why! I devoured this book, unable to pry myself away from the story. I love this kind of manga and anime, so it was a nice end to the day. Five stars!
It's getting easier to distinguish the characters, though I'm not sure if that's because I'm getting more used to them or if the art's getting better. And while I didn't like some of the plots quite as much in this volume, I'm still loving the characters.
I'm finding this series a bit hard to follow so far. I'm not the best manga reader, but I'm looking at a pretty high confused:following ratio for so early in the series. Maybe it'll get better as I become more familiar with the characters, the writer, etc.
I adore this manga, it's so funny, and so cute! I love the fact that Sano knows Mizuki is a girl, but neither knows the other suspects each other, and they're living in a room together both pretending that she's a boy, while both knowing different... it's so delightfully awkward! I also love that Mizuki's brother is the typical idiotic American - I always have to laugh at Japanese stereotypes of Americans, especially since most of it is true. I'm looking forward to the next volume, I can't even...more
good for people who enjoy romance. i LOVE these series. Its amazing but after book 10 you get annoyed at the characters.
Mizuki's brother makes a surprise visit. This was pretty good. And the doctor was hilarious and random as usual.
I really like this volome, Sano and Muzuki sweet moments <3
And now summer work it's getting interesting...

Enjoyable exploration of gender performance. As You Like It for the Manga set, essentially.
Ya know, I'm kinda getting used to this series. It's downright hilarious! Volume two is much better than volume one.
very good condition minimal wear at corners, no shrink wrap
It is so funny and intresting that i can't put it down.
I liked this just as much as the first one.

Oh my god!!!1! I loooove this seriesss!! It's my favorite shoujo series and my second favorite manga series of ALL TIME! I just love everything about it!! I would totally do what Mizuki did.. though I don't think I could get away with it.... especially not in a Japanese school... -_- WELL! That's just not fair. Anyway, It's sooooo funny! AH! It's all so great! I can't contain the fan-girl in me! :O I even loved the TV series! (Especially the Taiwanese one! Ella and Jiro were hilarious!)
^_^
Improves on volume 1 a lot, mostly because there is less focus on Sano's secret pain and more on Sano as possibly the only sane person in his entire school. Mizuki remains charming but bland in the way that all too many shojo heroines are; I keep wishing she was Haruhi from Ouran.
An awesome series with a bit of a cliche plot-line (girl dresses as boy and falls in love at all-boy school). The characters are very likeable however, and a good love triangle is setup. Nice art as well. I never finished it because it's a lonnng series and I could not afford them all.
It is a strong hearted book about a girl who lives in America and croses the Atlantic 2 b with her idol! But he goes 2 a Boy only Boarding School, so she becomes a boy!

D let me borrow it. It was ok, but came off as really generic shoujo to me. Just didn't catch my fancy.
