reading this was definitely not a good experience, the adaptation was okay I guess. But the romance was meh. With a lot of red flags, I advice you to read it at your own risk. You may try watching the movie which is decent if you leave the force sex scene, that was something unacceptable.

Penasaran baca ini krn ada yg dg antusiasnya bilang ni manga bagus banget....

Sooo, menurut salah satu reviewer di GR, selera orang2 yg memberi rating tinggi utk buku ini patut dipertanyakan. So, seleraku dan 407 org di Baka-Updates/Mangaupdates dan di GR, belum termasuk (ribuan org di) MangaGo, MangaHere, MangaFox, dll yg memberi rating 8-10 itu patut dipertanyakan ya? hmm...
Manga yg satu ini populer banget dan sudah diadaptasi ke dalam movie dengan judul Wait for Me at Udagawachou, yg diperanin Ryugi Yokota sebagai Yashiro si tranny-kun dan Kuroba Mario sebagai Momose si creeper-kun. Kelar baca manga ini, aku jadi pgn ntn filmnya juga, ada cuplikan adegan filmnya juga di dalam komiknya. Menurutku Ryugi-kun cocok bgt jadi Yashiro! XD Wah dia cocok bgt pake baju cewek loh, kalo mangaka tak kasi tau, aku ga bakal ngeh kalo cewek berambut panjang yg cantik itu adalah Ryugi-kun! Dan Kuroba juga, walaupun kurang seram mukanya, haha, menurutku hairstyle Kuroba di filmnya malah bikin dia jadi tambah ikemen bgt?
Sebenarnya quote2 dalam review ini tdk ada dalam komiknya karena kucomot dari Google, haha. Kutambahkan di sini karena menurutku pas bgt mewakili isi buku ini. ;)
Cerita tentang crossdresser dan transgender/tranny yg bener2 serius ceritanya(bukan sekedar lucu2an dalam bbrp komik) itu dikit bgt. Salah satunya yg cukup serius dalam membahas masalah transgender ini adalah seinen manga yg berjudul Wandering Son/Hourou Musuko by Shimura Takako. Wandering Son sangat realistic memang plotnya, tapi entahlah mungkin karena terlalu kepanjangan, trus seingatku eksekusinya juga rada 'tawar', aku akhirnya jadi lost interest walaupun berhasil menamatkannya.
Yg satu ini juga sangat realistic bgt. Bermula dari keisengan ceweknya yg mendandani Yashiro sebagai cewek, ia jadi sadar kalau ia suka berpakaian wanita dan dianggap cantik/manis oleh pria. Tapi hobinya itu ketahuan sama teman sekelasnya, Momose saat Yashiro lagi mejeng di Udagawachou selama 1 jam. Momose perlahan-lahan mulai tertarik pada Yashiro, penasaran sebenarnya apa yg mendorong Yashiro berpakaian cewek. Lalu ia pun mengkonfrontasi Yashiro. Yashiro ketakutan, tentu saja. Bagaimana reaksi dunia kalo mereka tahu ia punya hobi seperti itu? Tapi, membuang pakaian-pakaian itu, ia tak sanggup melakukannya. Adegan ia memeluk pakaian2 itu sungguh simbolis bagiku, seakan-akan ia tak sanggup utk turut 'membuang' bagian dirinya beserta pakaian wanita tsb. Tapi Momose justru suka melihat Yashiro berpakaian wanita, dan ia menganggap Yashiro manis dalam balutan pakaian wanita. Walaupun begitu, Yashiro tetap bergidik ketakutan karena dikejar Momose, karena dia bukan gay! Tapi, lambat laun Yashiro mulai sadar kalau yg ditakutinya sebenarnya adalah dihadapkan pada fakta bahwa sesungguhnya dia itu tranny. Sekaligus fakta bahwa dia mendambakan 'dipeluk' pria. Dia sadar kalau sebenarnya dia tertarik pada Momose juga, saat dia berciuman dengan Momose, his lower part can't lie, lol. Tapi mengakui perasaannya pada Momose, otomatis membuatnya jadi gay/bi (dia sblmnya sudah byk pengalaman dgn cewek2, so menurutku dia ini sbnrnya bi), dan dia tdk siap utk itu, makanya walaupun dia 'mengundang' Momose utk melakukan 'itu', ketakutannya pada akhirnya menang. Bagian yg cukup menyenangkan di sini adalah, Momose berhenti saat Yashiro bilang tidak. Karena kalau dia 'memaksa' Yashiro, bisa kuturunkan satu bintang, walaupun sebenarnya itu bkn sepenuhnya salah Momose krn Yashiro yg awalnya 'mengajak' Momose. Aku suka dengan pergolakan batin seorang tranny dan bi yg digambarkan sensei di sini, biasanya tranny yg kubaca di manga lainnya sudah full-fledged tranny.
Pada akhirnya Yashiro tidak lagi bisa menipu dirinya sendiri, entah itu hobinya atau perasaannya pada Momose. Hanya Momose yg bisa mencintai dirinya yg tranny ini, mendukung hobinya dan hanya Momose yg memperlakukannya bak seorang wanita (menggendongnya ke kamar mandi ala princess style). Dan Momose ini suka padanya bukan hanya karena Yashiro begitu cute sebagai cewek. Mungkin awalnya Momose begitu, namun perlahan-lahan Momose juga mulai tertarik pada Yashiro yg 'pria'. Karena itu aku senang saat Momose dan Yashiro bercinta itu Yashiro tdk sedang nyamar jadi cewek. Itu membuktikan kalau Momose benar-benar menyukai Yashiro sebagai Yashiro, yg kebetulan punya hobi crossdressing. Aku juga suka cara author menyelipkan hal-hal yg keliatan sepele seperti kesukaan Momose pada musik metal (?), itu justru membuat karakter ciptaannya itu terkesan 3D alias real. Mangaka juga tdk perlu kalimat2 panjang buat bikin pembaca ngeh karakter kedua MC itu gimana, cukup dari tindak-tanduk mereka kita udah bisa tahu Momose dan Yashiro itu orgnya seperti apa, kepribadiannya gimana, dll. Ini bentuk 'more show than talk' dalam komik, imho hanya sedikit mangaka yg bisa implementasi teknik ini dgn baik. Sketchy art sensei di sini juga cocok bgt utk cerita seperti ini, membuat ceritanya tambah realistic. Karena sebenarnya Yashiro dan Momose di sini bukan ikemen bgt, tdk seperti gaya gambar mangaka lain yg membuat MC mereka ikemen semua.
Ada juga reviewer yg bilang kalo sesungguhnya dia tak setuju krn Yashiro harus berdandan sebagai wanita supaya bisa disebut manis, padahal Yashiro jadi dirinya sendiri, tanpa riasan dan baju wanita itu sudah cantik. Mmm, itu kan standarnya si reviewer itu "be yourself" itu gimana menurutnya. Menurutku Yashiro ini merasa "could only be himself MORE" when he was crossdressing and happy when another guy thinks he looks cute. Itu karena seperti tranny lainnya, gender mereka terjebak dalam tubuh yg salah. Dia berjiwa wanita, tapi lahir dalam tubuh pria.
Jadi menurutku, daripada mendikte tranny harusnya begini begitu, harusnya be yourself, but not like that bla bla bla which is an utter crap, kenapa tdk mencoba menghargai pendapat si tranny dan membiarkannya saja, kan sebenarnya itu hak tranny mau dia pakai apa, jadi apa, operasi kelamin dll. Selama bukan tubuh kita, kita orang luar tak berhak mendikte si tranny mau ngapain dgn badannya dan hidupnya. Kalau si tranny merasa bahagia saat memakai baju wanita dan tdk membahayakan siapa pun karena itu, kenapa kita harus mengatur2 cara berpakaian, cara berbicara, cara berjalan, cara makan, cara hidup mereka? Memangnya kita siapanya dia? Just leave them be. Sesuai perkataan Dalai Lama : "Manusia mengambil jalan yg berbeda-beda dalam mencapai tujuan dan kebahagiaan. Tak sejalan denganmu, bukan berarti mereka tersesat."

Before anything else, I would like to put this as a warning to those who are planning to read it. This manga involves the following that might be upsetting for some readers: sexual harrassment, misgendering, dubious consent, stalking, and blackmailing. Read this manga at your own risk.
I genuinely wanted to like this, I really do since it is not my character to despite a book so much. But here we are.
Judging by the synopsis alone, I thought this manga had the potential if it was executed well. I should have expected then that it would disappoint me big time since Japan—or in any other parts of the world, really–is not open to the idea of crossdressing yet.
I only read this to be able to get a grasp of what should I expect from the live action movie since it starred two of my favorite stage actors of all time. Fortunately, I got what I wanted and did not push through with the idea of watching it–thanks to the source material.
I'm surprised that I was able to finish reading this despite a lot of red flags scattered all throughout the story. I wish someone had to tell me to stop reading this because having encounter with this book was not pleasant experience to have and I could have saved my time.

this was different in terms of animation for me, it gave it more of a real life feel then just you typical manga. it was actually not a bad book. it was worth the time in reading, because it helps show that you can let fear step in the way of wanting to be the real when it seems that life is there to put you down and that every one is out to get you, while in reality what people think about you really doesnt matter, its what you think and how you feel that counts. this book has given me hope to never stop believing in myself no matter who you are or what secrets you keep inside.

~*See below for review in English*~
06.2021:
Ich hatte mich sehr auf den Titel gefreut, da er sich interessant anhörte und auf gewisse Weise war er das auch. Yashiro's Zerissenheit war interessant und im Ansatz gut dargestellt, sodass ich mir gewünscht hätte noch mehr über ihn zu erfahren. Auch wenn der Klappentext dies zunächst vermuten lässt, hatte ich nicht den Eindruck, dass er sich über seine Geschlechtsidentität im Unklaren ist (?) Er mag feminine Kleidung, kann aber zunächst nicht dazu stehen. Außerdem ist er sich über seine Sexualität nicht ganz im Klaren bzw. unterdrückt sie. Er stellt sich vor, wie er in Frauenkleidern von einem Mann dominiert wird, hat aber Angst dies auszuleben, weil er nicht weiß, was das mit ihm macht. Alles in Allem also ein sehr interessanter Charakter.
Momose hingegen ist in meinen Augen ein egoistischer Unsympath. Zwar kann auch ein solcher Charakter seinen Reiz haben, aber das ist hier für mich nicht der Fall. Momose findet Yashiro in femininen Kleidern anziehend und will mehr über ihn erfahren. Statt aber auf Yashiro einzugehen, scheint alles was Momose tut eher eigennützig zu sein. Er findet Yashiro in femininer Kleidung süß und drängt ihn dazu diese zu tragen. Wie Yashiro sich dabei fühlt, ist ihm eigentlich fast egal. Er verteidigt ihn zwar und bestäkt ihn auf gewisse Art, aber für mich ist da definitv der eigennützige Ton sehr ausgeprägt. Er macht ihm ungewollt Komplimente, verfolgt ihn, schenkt ihm Kleidung und bedrängt ihn mehrmals exzessiv. Besonders auffallend fand ich hier, wie häufig Yashiro tatsächlich sein Unbehagen laut äußert (in Gedanken kommt es noch öfter vor). Sätze wie "Ich habe Angst", "Fass mich nicht an", "Ich will das nicht", "Nein" fallen gute 20 Mal, 15 Mal davon auf vier hintereinander folgenden Seiten. Ich bin geneigt zu sagen, dass Momose es nicht interessiert, aber viel eher scheint es so zu sein, dass er das Konzept von "Angst" oder "Unwohlsein" einfach nicht versteht. Was erwähnt werden muss ist aber auch, dass er später um Entschuldigung bittet.
Da Momose, neben Yashiros Ex-Freundin, der einzige ist, der seine Vorliebe für Kleider zu akzeptieren scheint und ihn verteidigt, fühlt Yashiro sich dadurch auf gewisse Art zu ihm hingezogen. Außerdem erfüllt Momose mit seinem Verhalten zwar Yashiros Fantasie, da Yashiro zunächst jedoch nicht dazu bereit ist diese auszuleben, weil er sich selbst noch nicht ganz verstanden hat, bleibt dies problematisch. Zumal auch gewünschte Dominanz nicht gleichzeitig bedeutet, dass der dominante Partner nicht auf seinen Partner hören muss.)
Warnung:
~**~**~**~
I was looking forward to reading this title because it sounded interesting, and in a way it was. Yashiro's inner conflict was interesting and mostly well portrayed (for the number of pages we get here), so I would have liked to know more about him. Even though the blurb suggests this at first, I didn't get the impression that he is confused about his gender identity (?) He likes feminine clothes but can't admit to it at first. He is also not quite sure about his sexuality or partially suppresses it. He imagines himself being dominated by a man while wearing feminine clothes but is afraid to act it out because he doesn't know what it will do to him. All in all, a very interesting character!
Momose, on the other hand, is in my eyes an egoistic disagreeable guy. Although such a character can also be interesting, it doesn't quite work for me in this case. Momose finds Yashiro attractive in feminine clothes and wants to know more about him. Instead of considering what Yashiro wants or how he feels, however, everything Momose does seems rather self-serving. He finds Yashiro cute when he's wearing feminine clothes and urges him to wear them. He doesn't really care how Yashiro feels about it. He defends him and encourages him in a way, but for me, the selfish tone is definitely too prominent. He compliments him unwantedly, follows him around, gives him clothes, and harasses him excessively several times.
What I found particularly striking here is how often Yashiro actually expresses his discomfort out loud (it happens even more often in his thoughts). Phrases like "I'm scared", "Don't touch me", "I don't want this", "No" occur a good 20 times, 15 of them on four consecutive pages. I'm inclined to say that Momose doesn't care, but it seems much more likely that he just doesn't quite understand the concept of "fear" or "discomfort". However, it has to be said that he apologises later.
Since Momose is the only one (besides his Yashiro's ex-girlfriend) who seems to accept his preference for feminine clothes and defends him, Yashiro is attracted to him in a certain way as a result. Furthermore, Momose's behaviour fulfils Yashiro's fantasy, but since Yashiro is not yet ready to act on it because he has not yet fully understood himself at that point, it remains problematic. Especially since even desired dominance does not mean that the dominant partner should not listen to their submissive partner.

fue una historia interesante...me gustó

Momose and Yashiro has a pretty interesting dynamic. The manga addresses homosexuality and cross dressing, but since it’s only six chapters long, the author didn’t delve into the topics much and gave more room to explore the main characters’ relationship. In the first chapter, Momose associated cross dressing with being gay; he even looked up the term gender dysphoria. However, in the second chapter, that isn’t the case. By the end, Yashiro finally accepts the fact that he likes to cross dress with Momose supporting his hobby.
I was actually surprised about how the author treated consent. It didn’t feel forced as many BL usually have it. Momose stopped his sexual advancement when Yashiro refused, saying he was scared. Later on, Momose evaluates what he did wrong.

I love the crossdressing and the issue Yashiro's gender identity problem. On the other hand, I think it was Momo the only one that was in love. Yashiro wasn't, I wasn't even sure he liked men. Crossdressing yes, but that did not make him gay. And he was more scared of Momo than he like the guy. The romance aspect, MEH.

Loved it!
Loved how Momose likes Yashiro no matter how he's dressed, but that he likes him best when he's being himself and doing what he loves.
Also, I must give kudos to the author for writing about someone who realizes the mistake he's made by assaulting someone else sexually. Sadly, this is very uncommon in mangas of this genre.

J'ai trouvé le sujet du travestissement très intéressant. Les questionnements de Yashiro à ce sujet et sa lutte contre ce que le jugement de la société suscite la réflexion. Momose, par contre, son attitude à faire le forcing, à la limite du stalking, ne m'a pas vraiment fait apprécié leur relation.

"Wait for Me at Udagawachou" es un breve manga que nos cuenta sobre Momose, el estudiante raro, que un día descubre de casualidad que el popular estudiante, Yashiro, se viste de mujer.
Este manga tiene varias cosas que me resultaron positivas, el arte es muy lindo, simple pero estilizado. Todos los personajes son distinguibles, pero especialmente los protagonistas tienen su estilo propio.
En cuanto a la trama en sí, me gustó que, a diferencia de otros yaoi no romantizan ciertos comportamientos de Momose y, si bien parte de los malos entendidos, surgen por que Yashiro no se anima a decir que no, se hace mucho foco en su miedo a negarse por temor a las represalias.
No es una lectura perfecta, pero para el género al que pertenece, se nota el cuidado en cómo presentan los temas.
El romance queda corto, podría haber sido una historia sobre amistad y aceptación. Entiendo que Yashiro termine enamorándose de la persona que lo acepta tal cual es, pero hubo chantaje y violencia de por medio -que no se romantiza-, pero queda casi sin consecuencias.
En general, es una buena lectura, podría haber sido mejor si evitaba algunas cosas muy puntuales de los manga yaoi (como el final +18 sin ningún motivo), pero se lo voy a dejar pasar porque, en conjunto, fue una grata sorpresa.

"Wait for Me at Udagawachou" is a short manga that tells us the story of Momose, a student walking around the streets, who stumbled upon Yashiro, a classmate, cross-dressing as a girl.
This manga has very nice art. It lands on the simple side but each MC has a very clear style and in Yashiro's case, both of his versions have a reminiscence to let us know it's the same person.
It's not a perfect read but it has some very high points that made me feel I'm not over yaoi manga, I've just been reading the wrong ones.
I liked how the cross-dressing issue was treated. Momose it's depicted as a weird person but he's very respectful with Yashiro about his cross-dressing activities and even helps him.
I felt Yashiro's reaction to Momose stalking him was on point. The stalking was never depicted as a good thing or romantic. It was shown as a dangerous situation, no matter Momose's good intentions.
The end is where it lost me a little because the "romance/attraction" was underdeveloped. I get that Yashiro might fall for the only guy that accepts him no matter what but there was blackmail involved and a very confusing situation of assault. In defense of the book, is not presented as romantic, so I guess it's a win.
As with all the yaoi mangas, the last scene is +18 for no reason at all.
Overall, it was a nice read, I was expecting so little from it that it turned out to be a pleasant surprise.

"Wait for Me at Udagawachou" es un breve manga que nos cuenta sobre Momose, el estudiante raro, que un día descubre de casualidad que el popular estudiante, Yashiro, se viste de mujer.
Este manga tiene varias cosas que me resultaron positivas, el arte es muy lindo, simple pero estilizado. Todos los personajes son distinguibles, pero especialmente los protagonistas tienen su estilo propio.
En cuanto a la trama en sí, me gustó que, a diferencia de otros yaoi no romantizan ciertos comportamientos de Momose y, si bien parte de los malos entendidos, surgen por que Yashiro no se anima a decir que no, se hace mucho foco en su miedo a negarse por temor a las represalias.
No es una lectura perfecta, pero para el género al que pertenece, se nota el cuidado en cómo presentan los temas.
El romance queda corto, podría haber sido una historia sobre amistad y aceptación. Entiendo que Yashiro termine enamorándose de la persona que lo acepta tal cual es, pero hubo chantaje y violencia de por medio -que no se romantiza-, pero queda casi sin consecuencias.
En general, es una buena lectura, podría haber sido mejor si evitaba algunas cosas muy puntuales de los manga yaoi (como el final +18 sin ningún motivo), pero se lo voy a dejar pasar porque, en conjunto, fue una grata sorpresa.

4,5 y no sé porqué no le doy las 5 porque me ha encantado.
Cuando Hideyoshico quiere, hace unas cosas tan interesantes como este manga. Entiendo que no será el cup of tea de muchos por el tema del crossdressing, pero es una historia de aceptación preciosa.

Don't want to be all "cringe culture" here but- I loved it, and I hated it. I had so much fun reading it, but, like, I was also cringing the entire time. Is it objectively good? Probably not. Is it objectively bad? Not really. It's just, you know, brain empty fun time. Just vibes, vibes only.

The romance was cute with a story that I don't usually read in BLs. The more times I watch the Live Action, and the more I read the manga, I start to understand it better.
