I have to say that I'm absolutely infatuated with this manga. I'm a fan of manga that not only makes you think, but also challenges the stereotypical characters & situations in most manga out there. In this manga we do have some of the typical scenarios, such as boy meets girl, but with a twist. You have "boy meets girl but has competition", but they throw a twist into that. So many things make this into a great series that it's hard to list just one or two reasons why it's so fun to read!

Mashiro is a confused teen that doesn't truly know whether s/he's a girl or a boy. Sou is the mysterious young man who claims to have fallen for him/her & isn't going to take no for an answer. Meanwhile, you have Kureha, a seemingly upbeat young lady with a dark past who has feelings for Mashiro herself. Mix this up with a haunting after school class where attendance is mandatory & failure is not an option & you have this wonderful series!

Would I recommend this to a friend? Yes! This series is fantastic & knocks a lot of the other series out of the water.

I have never been so captivated and left wanting more from a first volume. I liked this story very much. The characters are all so interesting, especially the heroine/hero, but when you get down to it, it is a love triangle story. There is an afterschool nightmare class in which the students take their "true" forms and use superpowers to obtain a key to open a door to "graduate" and have their most desired wish come true. Research before you buy as you may not like some of the content.

This whole series was a great new way on how we see ourselves and the world we live in. You are told (or see from birth that} you are to be like... These books make you think just how do you see yourself and how do you want to be.
