nobile's manga / #gender bender(3)

Sakurako's mother is a very stubborn woman, and when she decided that Sakurako was going to be a girl and raised him as one, it wasn't unexpected when she set up an omiai for him and the son of a close friend of hers. The story is about the troublesome road Sakurako and Kazuhiko went through up until they ended up getting married.

This has definitely become one of my favourite mangas. Great character development, no bad pacing at all, I loved every character, specially Ito's brothers (not for what they did, but because the characters were very realistic... I have 3 older brothers and they have quite a lot of similarities in their behaviour). This one truly has a strong female mc, not just because she's strong-willed but because she's really inspiring and a great example to others. I like gender benders but many times it seems like it's just the same tropes over and over, this one was REALLY well done, even if the story's like 16 years old, it's still quite relatable and appealing.

Dropped at chapter 85
