One of the best manga!!

Tenshi Ja Nai is one of my favorite manga that I am always looking forward to the next volume. The characters are so beautiful. Izumi is a boy who is blending in an all-girls school and by coincidence,the heroine Hikaru ended up being his roommate. It is the same as in Hana Kimi, where Mizuki Ashiya is sharing the same room with her idol, Izumi Sano. I really wonder how can they keep their disguise :D. It is fun. Go! Comi did a good job in publishing this book. I am also a big fan of Crossroad :D. So those of you who loved Tenshi Ja Nai, you can give Crossroad a shot and you will never regret it. Recommended for fans of Hana Kimi, and W Juliet.

Okay, okay...

I admit, in all honesty, that this is one of those same stories that's told over and over. It's like W Juliet, in that there's a guy dressing as a girl. It's like Hana-Kimi in that the guy is dressing like a girl and infiltrating a girl school. Except, I'm going to rate this book like I would if I didn't read both of those stories and didn't think that it was nearly the same plot (because things do differ, as always. Especially since Hikaru is one of the few weak-willed heroines I've ever seen.) Anyway, here in the second book (here goes the shortest synopsis ever so SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS)we get to meet Ayase-sensei, a new teacher at the Seika Academy. Hikaru gets a major crush on him. Hikaru and Izumi head to a summer house where Izumi is starring in a short horror flick. Hijinks happen, including but not limited to: Hikaru falling more in love with Ayase-sensei, Sensei possibly showing love interest in Hikaru, Izumi getting jealous, Izumi getting stalked by fanboy and fellow actor, and Fanboy and Fellow Actor deciding that Hikaru and Izumi are lesbians together. And actually, it was really funny, and really great, and I blushed when Hikaru blushed and felt pangs for poor Izumi who is obviously desperately in love with Hikaru. And the art is great. I've yet to see it falter. I cannot wait until I get the next book. One of my guy friends, who has never read a manga in his life and really isn't into the lovey-dovey stuff, randomly started the series out of boredom and has continued reading it he liked it so much; it's one of those manga that's good like that. I can say that about both books so far. This second book far surpasses the first in ways of character development and love-interest-development. I especially recomend it for any people who like: W Juliet, Hana-Kimi, Girl Got Game, Your and My Secret, or any other gender-defying books. It really is awesome.
