Boku Ni Natta Watashi

OK, so I want to back track a little an make a quick statement about definitions and how I really don't care. I do care and want to be responsible but I mean I don't wish to get into huge arguments about semantics. Right off the bat let me say I am just a fan and make no claims of authority about this or that genre. I only know a few Japanese words my father taught me when I was little so I am not multilingual. I read Korean comic too so I don't want a fight about...no..no..that's manhwa. Also, the spellings of things might not be "accurate". For example, the title of this blog. I used Shojo and not Shoujo. I want to try and keep the blog more about the "young girl" definition even though I know shojo can mean virgin. The last post was about a comic that falls more into the Josei category. I added some links to definitions for people who may not know what I am talking about but I am not going to get to strict about stuff. I know there has been a lot of debates about what comic falls into which category. I wouldn't mind seeing comments. After all  feedback is what I'd like. So I hope I don't make anyone furious for those things.

It may seem like I am picking stuff out of the hat to write about. Actually I am only writing about what I am reading myself. I am reading a ton of different things. If I run out of ideas I'll let you know. So, Boku Ni Natta Watashi by Ako Shimaki is the lovely picture above. If you've ever read Hana Kimi you know all about the girl dressing up like a guy in an all guy school. That is about it for similarities.  Momoko has to take the place of her brother to save his spot in school by her mother. It isn't easy for her to do so since she is obviously a girl. Of course her roommate becomes the object of her affections. He figures it out right away and unlike in Hana Kimi he says so! I just finished Vol. 3 scanned by Storm in Heaven. I will add their link. I am not a reviewer. That is not my intent here. I just want to share what I am reading. I am reading Hana Kimi too. In fact I started reading that first so I really like the contrast in stories. I always get a kick out of the gender changing stuff anyway. I love the close calls and who is going to discover the secret next. Boku Ni Natta Watashi seems to be more romantically inclined earlier on in the story and we'll see how it plays out.
