Boku ni Natta Watashi
"I Became a Boy" 僕になった私
By Shimaki Ako (嶋木あこ )

Summary: Welcome to Momoko's waking nightmare. Things were settled, they were! She was SUPPOSED to have gone to a normal school, made normal friends, and led a blissfully normal life. But the universe is just cruelly, irredeemably, monstrously unfair, so instead she found herself thrown out of home, stuck in an all-boys boarding school with a roommate she hates, cursed with a hideous haircut and wearing clothes which, to be frank, she wouldn't be seen dead in. And the only thing worse than her current situation is the one that she'll be in if anyone ever realizes that she is, in fact, a girl. Everything is wrong! Particularly the fact that, even though she's surrounded by amazingly gorgeous guys, her chances of romance are less than zero. But with life this complicated, something's bound to give - and so it does.

First of all thank you very much for your hard work.
But I agree totally with nn: characters are pretty trivial and there are so many commonplaces that reading is boring. Some events in the plot just can't work!
But I appreciated the full-page scenes and sometimes there are uncommon and interesting shots.
A pretty similar story is Mint na bokura by Wataru Yhosizumi: that's a little bit stupid too, but i think there's more ... i don't know... freshness, and more fun too.

Too many plot holes, too many magical/random plot devices, and way way too generic and cliche.

Generic romantic screwball crossdressing, generic stupid "cute" girl gets with hottest guy on campus, generic everything. I'd recommend this for 12 year olds, except that there are sexually heated scenes fairly often that are usually not very hot at all, and quite off pace.

The art is pretty good though. It's pretty consistent throughout, the characters look good and everything is pretty nice throughout.

I dunno. Everything is just so /convenient/, which basically makes me hate this a lot. If it were funnier, I'd lay off the hate, but it's not very entertaining at all.

But if you just DIE over anything even remotely romantic and like the artstyle, then I guess go for it? But I personally couldnt get past the 2nd volume.

You're definitely right. Extra 1 is absolutely amazing! It's how I wish Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo could have been (in terms of romance), but wasn't! Thanks for the recommendation on the updates page! If not for that, I would've definitely missed out on this great oneshot!
