This is a completed Manga - it is a long one - but it’s a beautiful story about family, friendship and love… it is also hilarious because we have twins cross dressing and changing places…you can guess all the chaos that ensues.Īi wo Utau yori Ore ni Oborero – Shinjou, Mayu (Story & Art) Kobayashi ga Kawai Sugite Tsurai – Ikeyamada, Go (Story & Art) if you want to read some good historical check this one out. the girl uses prosthetics and a latex mask … intrigue? then go and read the book…Īn oldie but a goodie… this is a slow burning romance in a medieval setting. this one went a bit on the realistic side of things. When some of these stories have me rolling my eyes when people fail to realise that the boy is actually a girl. A different kind of spin on a Classical story and I remember loving it when I first pick it up. Kick ass Heroine? check, Robin Hood Retelling? check, Lots of adventure? Check, Love Triangle? Sadly but check - Not a fan of this but it was tolerable. I got a little bit stuck in the middle… It is an okay story if you want to pass the time and not having to think too much… Sometimes that is just the kind of read we need. This is a book that you either love or hate. I love the setting (Medieval Japan) the story, the slight touch of magic, and even if it’s a little slow in the beginning and the romance is a little fast I didn’t mind. It is no secret - and if you have been following my blog for the past year - that this was one of my favorite books from 2017.

Let’s get to them…Īll of these books have the premise of the Female Character having to dress up as a boy for one reason or another… Just to remind you. so, I have Five–ish books to recommend and a couple of Mangas. So I though that it would be an interesting trope to find book recommendations of … and let me tell you it wasn’t as easy as I thought… Mainly because I though that I had read more than I actually had (this happens a lot to me - I have trouble keeping my books straight in my head but I’m sure you know what that’s like). When I watch this I’m always thinking how can’t you tell that it is a girl… are you blind? One of my favorite movies from the 80’s it’s Just One Of the Guys (corny I know- but so much fun) and another that I found hilarious even if a little silly It’s She’s the Man. particularly when it is a girl dressed up as a guy. but it is one that I find highly amusing.

Long title, right? This is a trope that it’s more commonly found in Anime and Manga, even in movies.
