Mizuki has always wanted to see her favorite high jumper jump in person and that is exactly what she is going to do. She devised a plan to convince her parents to allow her to go to school in Japan. However, she leaves out the part about it being an all boys school. She chops off all of her long hair and pretends to be a boy so that she can get close to Sano. Turns out that they will get even closer than she expected when she finds out that they not only have classes together but they areThis is a sweet little story about a girl who moves continents to go to an all boy's school because she likes one of the athletes. It's surprisingly uncreepy, despite that.One problematic element is how they deal with gay characters. On one hand they have full story lines and characters, and on the others they are often caricatures and comic relief. Some scenes really bothered me, but on the other hand it's rare to even see gay people with their own plot lines in western media so I can't tell if
"I'm disguising myself...so I can sneak into a boys-only school. And all so I can meet him."Alright, if you're new to manga, this isn't one to start with. Unless you get Japanese humor and are completely cool with outlandish things happening because shojo. Like Hana Yori Dango, this manga gave birth to countless dramas and earned praise everywhere and baffled others. This isn't the kind of story you read for logical things to happen. It's literally a mesh of wacky Japanese comedy and cultural

First, let me clarify that I'm only giving this manga 5 stars in terms of how much I loved it, and not because it's the best thing in the Shojo genre out there. It is, however, the first manga I've ever read- so the experience was both confusing (at the beginning) and immensely enjoyable! I loved all the characters (though my favorites by far were Nakatsu, the doc, and the American friend- they were hilarious). It made me laugh and care for Mizuki, Sano and everyone else like they were real
Still loved it the second go round!This is one of my favorite shoujo mangas ever. I love how it challenges gender expectations and the romance is completely adorable. If youve never read manga before, the strange, exaggerated mannerisms of the characters may throw you off, but trust me when I say nothing throws your feels around in a glitter machine on acid like a shoujo manga romance. The series does have a huge gap that might get you a little frustrated (side story lines and frustration at the
