It's cute, definitely.

Oooh, I just picked up the first volume of this from the library, and it sounds fun enough. Yay for good decisions!

It's not great, but it's also not bad. Also, gender bending!

While I liked the series and I bought all the books, I'm not finding that it has a lot of reread value. I do like the way their relationship progresses.

Oh good. I like series about relationships way more than series about if the two will ever confess their feelings to each other.

fmanalyst November 6 2007, 23:40:52 UTC

In that case you'll like W Juliet. After a certain point, the relationship is actually pretty stable, and it starts to be more about trying to maintain Makoto's secret.

You know...when I started reading this series, I was more reading along because...well, why not? it didn't annoy me like most But somewhere in there(I think around volume 5 or so) it suddenly became one of my favorites, and is my favorite straight-highschool romance shojo(the only other one for me to make it all the way through that wasn't really short was Mars.) I think part of it is that when it comes to be time to start with the "problems they must face and choices they must make" stuff, she ignores the standard endless dwelling on "to have sex or to not have sex" and actually remembers that teens have other problems.

Hrm, I'll be interested to see how it goes! I like watching relationships develop.

I like how this one develops, and later on the wannabe-interferers and want to be girly/want to be manly stuff isn't as forced. IIRC, it was meant to just be a one shot(and the first chapter may have been her first published work, I'm not sure) but it was popular, which is why it has a rocky start.

I like the relationships, but it doesn't take long for the series to slip into a near-endless cycle of episodes with no advancement. I might think otherwise if I read the whole thing, though.

Hrm, yeah, that was sort of my impression from vol. 2.
