Shii,

I actually don’t like the ending. It’s original, sure, and it makes the women-hating stuff more palatable, but the high school premise makes even LESS sense after the big reveal in the final chapters. Mizushiro was trying to do too many things at once with this series and as a result, the thing as a whole is a mess. It’s a shame.

I know, at the beginning it didn’t make much sense, but once you read the ending, you will start to understand really! When I was reading it I wasn’t actually enjoying the manga because of the reasons everyone mentioned above, but on the final volume…everything made sense, and the final message is so amazing. Give it another chance

I have to agree with you, except the parts about the first few books being intriguing. Right off the bat, the main character’s whining about being a girl and his/her selfishness towards others pissed me off. Having researched intersexuals, hermaphrodites, and others like that, the boy seemed unrealistic compared to those who actually are like that. Specifically that he’s been on this earth for 16 years and he STILL hasn’t dealt with his male/female emotions. I’m not saying he should be completely all right with being a man on top, girl on the bottom, but there’s no reason he should saying things like, “The reason I lost this fight is because my female characteristics are surfacing sob sob sob, it’s not my fault, it’s my vagina’s.”

I’ll be honest, though. I skipped a couple books ahead and saw his other female self smack the shit out of him for never taking responsibility for anything and always blaming “her”. That was awesome. Then it went right back to misogyny, and I threw the book across the room. I cannot figure out why anyone likes this series.

OH MY GOODNESS! Please give it a chance! It gets much better (and very femal un-belittling) I was dubious of it as well, but I kept on reading… it ends so well! Please PLEASE keep reading it!
