pretty decent, but don't get baited by the Romance tag since romance in this is dogshit. MC is pretty annoying at times, comedy is pretty good. And as the commenter below me said, this manga REALLY ahead of it's time(1997) with the issues that was portrayed and tackled

I have to say I really enjoyed this series front to back. It really felt ahead of it's time for 1996 but still very much a part of how Japanese culture in general views gender, sex, and even homosexuality in the 90s. There is some stuff that is pretty cringe by today's standard but overall this one was very special to me.

Man this story is such an experience. It's trans representation but just the perfect example of the 'He a little confused but he got the spirit"

I personally love Hojo Tsukasa’s works and this is no exception! Its an amazing story with many comedic moments and surprises. Unfortunately, I have to agree with other commenters that the romance leaves more to be desired. I’ll also warn you that the ending could leave more to be desired. IMHO it feels like the mangaka’s either got tired of this series and wanted to move on. A commenter on another platform said that they were disappointed when information that seemed relevant came up once and was never brought up for the rest of the story; despite it’s potential to expand lore and opening new chapters. Also, don’t expect much character development until the last volume. Despite all it’s flaws, I enjoyed the series and had a blast reading it. The pictures are provocative and realistic. The scans have likely improved since 2018 since I didn’t find any issues with them (or my standards for good is just low). It’s just so different than what’s in current day mainstream works. I would DEFINITELY recommend giving it a try if you haven’t already read it!
