Wジュリエット [W Juliet] #6

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?

Makoto's doting sister Tsubaki finds out that Makoto hasn't kept his secret from Ito! She threatens to tell Makoto's father unless Makoto and Ito's homeroom can win a school competition. Then Makoto accompanies the entire Miura household to their ancestral home to meet Ito's eccentric, sharp-witted grandmother. Little does Ito know that her past will catch up with her there...literally!

I love this series so much! Ito's grandmother is something else. So awesome. Makoto's sister, Tsubaki, has some issues, but you can tell that she really loves her little brother.

Gets Weird In This One

I still enjoy this series, but this volume took a serious swerve to the weird, with an out of nowhere time travel story.

Seriously, why? This isn't a fantasy series. In a story that is supposed to be set in the real world, it comes across as super jarring.

I'll still continue this series, but this wasn't its finest moment.

Overly cute fluff and drama, straight ahead!

[Penny · Rating 5 out of 5]

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.

honestly, the last chapter saved this book in a big way. though up until now, the story remained in the realm of possibities. time-travel and seeing into the future, the realistic scenarios seemed to have slipped away a bit. oh, and how is it that this is the only time in the entire series that ito's "period" gets in the way? typically you don't have just one bad month. oh well, it seemed out of place, and a poor excuse for her normal erratic behavior.

I particularly liked the storylines with both Ito's and Makoto's families. Seeing Makoto win over his sister and the time slip that allowed Ito to learn more about her parents were both really interesting and sweet.
