Summary: Japanese-American track-and-field star Mizuki has gotten herself to transfer to a high school in Japan...but not just any school! To be close to her idol, high jumper Izumi Sano, she's going to an all-guys' high school...and disguising herself as a boy! But as fate would have it, they're more than classmates...they're roommates! Now, Mizuki must keep her secret in the classroom, the locker room, and her own bedroom. And her classmates--and the school nurse--must cope with a new transfer student who may make them question their own orientation...

Review:  overall: 8.5 /10 (one of my favorites!) <3 /
                ending: 7.5/10 (not the best but the side stories help it)
Probably one of the best uses gender blender there is.  Its funny! Very funny for shoujo.  For something that can get pretty cheesy fast they keep it up beat and soon your sucked in. 
(I have over 12 volumes of this manga and an art book. I plan to buy the rest!) 
please excuse the embrassing fan girl in me....
This manga starts off a little slow but you need to stick with it, until you meet the amazingly gay and handsome Dr. Umeda that where things get good. its only about eight chapters you need to get through so do it! I super reccomend this manga its cute in every way. And unlike most shoujos at one point you get tired of the 2 not getting together but in this story they really can't get together. They want to but if they do.... Gahh! i won't spoil it. now if you read the english volumes you miss a wonderful side story that goes into the future after the story. so buy the volumes and then look for the side stories! or ask me cause i have them! all of them!
so why an 8.5 out of 10 if i love it so much? Well the fact that this author does not really know american culture. Its to the point where its a little annyoning. Also the ending was done a little haphazardly. She could've ended it more smoothly. Its like hmm i can't really explain but you're left defiantly going okay well i hope theres an epilogue. so look for the side stories! it'll defiantly rap up the story for  you very nicely.
