The pressure is rather ramped up in this installment. How ever will our intrepid duo face their adversaries?

[Amanda Setasha · Rating 4 out of 5]

A decent amount of comedy and fluff. Really enjoyable plot building and really relatable.

the plot in this book is Makoto's sister comes to spy on his father. Makoto's family has a lot of problems but he has his best friend to help him. and since Jto looks like Makoto there both going to have a lot more drama. more then they would of thought.

i can connect to this book becuase is one of my family members only came to see my was to watch out of my parent. i would think it was pretty werid and want to find out why. but it was really cool that Makoto had a great friend to help him get through all of this.

i rated this book 3 out of 5 stars becuase it was good it had a lot of drama in it. its really a teen book becuase teen lives are fulled with drama. i recommed this book to someone how likes conic books and if they read the 1,2,3,4 book of this series.

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.

i want to know why everyone thinks that ito needs protection? she seems fairly capable of handling things on her own. but then she keeps running into people that can easily overpower her. i get a tad confused about how her physical descriptions and the way she is portrayed to always being pretty powerful and have a decent amount of strength, but still always needs to be rescued. i find it to be more than slightly contradictory.

This volume was highly repetitive to the previous volumes. All the characters are literally doing the same things they were in previous chapters. The two things that happened to move the plot forward could have been added to either the previous or next volumes and this volume could have been cut out entirely. Honestly, this makes me worried for the series. If the mangaka is recycling material this early on, how repetitive is the rest of the series going to be?

[Tiffany · Rating 5 out of 5]

Romanticish... not the type for it but it dragged me in... Willing to trade for Kitchen Princess 4, or if i already have 4, 5. You dont really need to read books 1-4 to get this.

[Rebecca · Rating 4 out of 5]

I'm enjoying the challenges that Ito and Makoto are facing and the way that these things are drawing them closer together.
