Customer Reviews

challenging stereotypes

I love how the story starts with the guy thinking that girls are only good to serve guys and act demure, and then he turns into one! It serves him right! I love how he challenges the stereotypes held to women when he turns into one. I can't wait to see how this series continues to look into the issues of gender relationships in modern Korea in the upcoming volumes!

More!

It was such a quick read because it's so funny and cute. I kept laughing out loud to myself. The art was beautifullly drawn and delivers the story in a way that is clear, humorous, and full of action. There is "never a dull moment," to be cliche. Now I can't wait to start on the second volume!

Refreshing style with an old story line

Gender bending is about as rare in manga as sand is on a beach. Get my point? Good. So much is out there that it can get very old, very fast. Some of it is copy cat stuff, with nothing new. Very stale in fact. Gender bending itself is nothing special. But what Click does, as many of the great mangas, is take an old, worn idea, and travel with it in a whole new direction. The idea that the boy, now a girl, would leave everything and everybody to start a new life IS new. Yet it is what many people in real life do when they switch genders. It gives it a touch of reality that many of the other stories, with aliens, magic and monsters, don't have. This hook means I will very likely continue to buy this series, no matter how long it may be.

Exciting, romantic,

This series is exciting, energetic and drives me crazy wondering how things are going to turn out. The art is beautiful and the author is really good at getting the reader to feel what in each character feels. There are no boring people in this shojo. Very good series. Very intense. I absolutely cannot figure out how it is going to end which I can usually do.

makes you think...

Click is a story of growing up and letting go of the past. It tells a story of "walking in others shoes" while being lighthearted and funny at times. I really enjoyed this book because it illustrates just how hard it can be to find yourself and stay true to who you are once you do find it.
