This one blew me away! I can't even 4-star it.

I wasn't really expecting much when I started with it. Then I got surprised by the depth of it. This manga has substance even when it's funny as hell too. Heh, and I nearly cried during a very emotional part  (⌒_⌒;)

Honda-kun is a true man. I admire his conviction and firm approach. I could easily fall for such a guy although I am not too keen on driving one of his tacky custom made modified car - he really needs to get his eyes checked.  (*≧▽≦)ノシ))

Seems like Honda-kun stands out more than the protagonist, Someya in this manga. I do like feisty Someya when he's in drag mode tho. The 'brand new' him was pretty cool too. Someya and Honda does make the perfect pair. They both compliments each other so well and balanced out the imperfection both has and bringing out the best in each other. It's pure blessing to find someone who loves you for who you are, not who you could be.  

This manga has the right dose of comedy and drama and it goes well with Kousaka Tohru sensei's cutesy artwork. It's nice to see cameo appearances from Ayase and Kanou of Okane Ga Nai manga.

I completely loved this. It was wonderful that Someya got his own story, and special someone. Though I was taken by surprise that Honda was the one, it felt very fitting somehow. It was sad how Someya struggled so much for his father's love, but very happy when Honda's feelings for him made Someya realize his self worth. It was also fun getting a cameo of Kanou and Ayase. This story makes me want so bad for this series to be licensed.

I hate the Okane ga Nai series with a passion BUT! This spin-off manga is damn great! The characters are a lot less silly and cliched than the "main couple" of the original series, and the story actually makes sense! The story has one hell of crazy, out-of-control setting, and the romance between the main characters---a tough-as-nail Gothic Lolita/owner of a cross dresser bar and a former leader of a biker gang, is so damn sweet and lovely and over the top! ^_______________^

PS: In the special extra volume, I LOL so hard when the couple's mutual friends commented with such certainty that "They're definitely sleeping together", I didn't notice this part before, but once I do notice...I'm like...LOL times 10.

Trigger warning: stalking

Spoiler-ish but necessary to describe the trigger








All in all this manga was very sweet. Someya and Honda are very interesting characters. There was a point where Honda stalked Someya in his attempts to get Someya to agree to go out with him. But in all other interactions there was consent.

Honestly at first when i started to read it i figured it would be more of a sexual manga and not a romantic one, but in the end i was wrong, it was actually pretty good, it has a story line to it that a lot of people can relate to along the lines of the acceptance and in times depression and anxiety, but it was also kinda cute in some ways and more serious in others. it was totally worth the time in reading and i look forward to reading more like it

Seeing this manga was written by the same author as the one who wrote Okane ga Nai (No Money) I was reluctant to pick this one up at first. But, now I'm glad I did. The romance is breathtaking, emotions run deep and it's often even funny. I just love it. Honda is an amazing guy, and I'm glad Someya got to be with him. Respect and love, especially from Honda's side is just amazing. They're absolutely perfect for each other. Soulmates. I highly recommend!
