Makoto Amano wants to become an actor, but his stern father has decreed that the only way Makoto can pursue his dream is to spend the last two years of high school as a girl! He quickly makes friends with popular tomboy Ito Miura, another drama enthusiast at this new high school and the only student to find out his secret--but are they more than pals?
Makoto's father is trying to force Akane into an arranged marriage, and to help Makoto, she's willing to do it! But can Makoto allow his sister to marry a man she doesn't even know so that he can get a chance to make a life for himself as an actor? And who is that handsome man who is always there to come to Akane's rescue? Then, Tsugumi invites Ito to the beach, and the whole gang comes along for an adventure so bizarre, it must be a dream. Or is it?

So I saw this was on sale and it reminded me that I used to read this back in the day. I knew the gist of the story (young man passing himself off as a young woman) and thought I could simply pick up where I had left off. But it turns out too much time has passed and I didn't know who was who or what was going on. Not to mention it doesn't read very well on a Kindle.

This volume has several really fun chapters and story lines in it. The first chapter focuses on the relationship between Ryuya and Ito and his reaction to both her staying out without calling to tell him were she was in the last volume as well as discovering she plans on being an actress. They have a huge fight but by the end of the chapter they reconcile and he tells her he will support her and her dream. During the next chapter Makoto's sister and Ito's brother Yuto meet while Yuto is helping Ito and Makoto rescue Akane from an Omiai meeting with her father's top apprentice. Then in the next chapter Ito and Makoto discover that Kohei is moving and that he was planning on just disappearing without telling anyone. Instead Ito plans on surprise farewell party for him. The last couple of chapters involved a mermaid curse were Ito and Misaki get stolen by a mermaid at the beach & Makoto and Yoshiro rescue them.

I love this gender-bender, funny, romantic, a little paranormal manga.
Ito Miura is a tomboyish girl whose looks and attitude makes her easily mistaken for a boy. As a member of the drama club she always play male roles. Soon she meets the new transfer student Makoto who is a beautiful girl, who is really a guy in disguise. Makoto has made a deal with his father, to be able to follow his dream of becoming an actor, he must attend high school as a girl and nobody must know. So when Ito finds out the secret by accident she swears she won't tell. This starts their weird friendship that soon turns into a strong bond...love...
Throughout the story there were a lot of love stories that come into play as examples which the witness and strength their love.

the mermaid story was awesome. instead of it being the usual extra story, the bizarre super-natural story was actually part of the normal storyline. for once i would like to see ito say 'you know, i think i'll pass on possibly getting into trouble/danger/cursed.' just once, reject the situation and see if it still bites her in the butt. because that's what happens to me, and i'm sure most people. plus, why hasn't anyone even suspected that maybe ito and makoto are a couple?

I liked the family stories, but the fluff ghost mermaid story put me to sleep. W Juliet seems to be such a mixed bag in these middle volumes. :( Does it get better?

After several volumes of rehashing the same story in different settings, volume 8 of W Juliet chooses to put a little focus on side characters, avoiding the repetition that hurt volumes 4-7.

Finally, some other characters get a bit more of a story! Great volume! :)

I think this is my favourite volume! The Kôhei-moving-away and the Lady Mermaid stories were so sweet! And Akane + Yûto? FINALLY <3
