I find it super amusing that all the guys are after the tom boy girl. It's totally hilarious.

3.5 only because the harassment is getting a little old.

[cheyenne · Rating 4 out of 5]

the plot in this book was about how a new student is almost making it his duty to find out what there big sercet is. and Makoto's sister comes home. and someone reveals the sercet and every thing changes. also its like becuase of this sercet revealing made there friendship almost stronger.

i can connect to this book becuase if i had a big sercet like one of them i would be soooooooo upset/mad if someone told. knowing there was a reason i didnt tell people. i wouldn't talk to my sister becuase she wouldn't have told people about it.

i gave this book 4 out of 5 stars beucase it had a lot of drama in it and i know how they feel. becuase if it happened to me i would be very upset. it wasn't really any super boring parts but there were some.i recommed this book to people who like comic books. also Makoto and Jto has a great freindship so if you like friendship book this is good for you.

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.

In many ways, W Juliet reminds me of Ranma 1/2. Emura has found a situation (a neatly tied-together set of situations, actually), and then keeps finding different ways to explore and play out the situation.

I realize I should be getting bored with it, but I'm enjoying watching how the situation plays out in each new setting, and I really like Mako. (And I have ten more volumes to go. Eep!)

I had a hard time finishing volume 4 of W Juliet; I'm tired of seeing the plot elements from the previous volumes repeated in different settings, tired of seeing Ito come to a realization about her relationship with Mako and then forget about it by the next chapter. And there's entirely too much Ito as a helpless damsel in distress. I think I'm just disappointed the last couple books didn't hold up to the first one, but I'm still curious to see where the story goes.

honestly, i find myself bored with this book as with the last two about half-way through. i don't remember being this bored when i initially read it. oh well. i was excited about the kiss, and i love ito's family. i think it's the best part of the series. but it's tough to get past ito always falling into trouble, and makoto barely does anything, and all of the problems are solved.

I love the cover art on this book!

J'aurais bien aimé l'histoire du point de vue de Makoto, savoir ce que ça lui fait de devoir tout le temps se travestir sans jamais pouvoir se comporter en homme...

Interesting how difficult it is for the secret to be kept the more time passes, especially as the two main characters fall for each other more.
