The Manga that AKB fans and non fans can enjoy. .shout. .shout.
Genre: Gender Bender, Shounen, Slice Of Life.
Summary: This series is about a guy called Urakawa Minoru crossdressing as a girl to participate in a female idol group audition (akb48). The main objective is to help the girl he likes, Yoshinaga Hiroko, pass the audition. Yoshinaga Hiroko's dream is to become like her favourite idol who is in the akb48 group. This audition happens to be her final try, so Minoru crossdresses as Minori and took part in the audition to make sure she realizes her dream. Hiroko got qualified eventually, however, the shocking news was Minoru was qualified as well. Thus, the road to becoming a female idol begins.

At first glance it appears to be some weird looking gender bender manga but as I read through, I began to like it. This manga reveals the 'backstage' of the industry music and the way to become an idol.
The thing that makes it funny is the apparent adventure of Minori(?) as he tried to hide to his/her(whatever) identity and to deal with consequences.

Overall, it's actually a rather good read though I still creep out that his teacher is a fans of 'Minori' .omg. .omg.

Please share what you think of it. .hail. .hail.

As a huge AKB fan I will have to try it !

Sounds interesting , can't wait to read it

Oh yeah.. It got some teary-eyed scenes too .
I'm off to search some good read manga again.

I'm updated in this manga! It's quite cute, and the drawings of the real-life members are somewhat similar.. A-chan~

It is so interesting to read haha the plot and the comedy in some of the scenes is great.. cant wait till the next couple of chapters get released

The release of chapters is kinda irregular..

is a very interesting manga, I like it

yep at first i was like am i reading?

but then its starting to get interesting and some of the scenes give me goosebumps, its an interesting read guys. :3

Meh, I'm always wonder how Minoru disguised his voice. And the manga got interesting too. Somehow he seems to forgot his identity as a man don't you think?

just started reading 2am this morning and just finished reading until the latest chapter. never expected me to try it in the first place tho. time for bed

As an AKB fan, that sounds pretty interesting I might have to read it at some point.

it nice i waiting for book 4 to release in chinese language of course

I started reading it, and I'm reading little by little when I have free time. I'm on Chapter 7: Gari Gari-kun. So far it's pretty interesting.
