W Juliet, Vol. 10

Wジュリエット [W Juliet] #10

by Emura

Makoto Amano wants to become an actor, but his stern father has decreed that the only way Makoto can pursue his dream is to spend the last two years of high school as a girl! He quickly makes friends with popular tomboy Ito Miura, another drama enthusiast at this new high school and the only student to find out his secret--but are they more than pals?

At the Drama Club's summer training camp, Ito reunites with Jôtaro, a childhood friend who is the son of a well-known actor. Though he bullied Ito as a tot, Jôtaro is repentant--and Makoto suspects his affection goes beyond friendship. Three is a crowd where love is concerned, and Makoto wants Ito to tell Jôtaro she's already taken. But that task turns out to be a bit difficult...

i love chris! she is adorable! but i hate how americans are either portrayed this way (air-headed, grossly misunderstands japanese culture, etc) or war-hungry violent types. overlooking how americans are stereotyped in this manner, i still love chris. she is hilarious. i'm still trying to figure out if the 'i love you, stay with me forever,' is the same as 'let's get married!' seeing as i have never seen a single guy kneel in a manga to pop the question, and half the time the girl isn't even asked, just told in a statement ('i want to marry you', and that's that), i feel as though the romantic sentatment that americans place on such an important life-changing question/choice is overlooked.

I wasn't a big fan of this one. They brought in a foreigner character and the English translation of English even was just awful. It scared me.

I love this gender-bender, funny, romantic, a little paranormal manga.

Ito Miura is a tomboyish girl whose looks and attitude makes her easily mistaken for a boy. As a member of the drama club she always play male roles. Soon she meets the new transfer student Makoto who is a beautiful girl, who is really a guy in disguise. Makoto has made a deal with his father, to be able to follow his dream of becoming an actor, he must attend high school as a girl and nobody must know. So when Ito finds out the secret by accident she swears she won't tell. This starts their weird friendship that soon turns into a strong bond...love...

Throughout the story there were a lot of love stories that come into play as examples which the witness and strength their love.

As usual, another very enjoyable instalment of W Juliet! I love that Ryûya has a girlfriend now; although Chris is a little strange, she's sweet ^_^

The story about James Dean and Ito's parents made me laugh so hard. I really love Ito's family and their relationship always make me smile.
