Synopsis
Ugly girl Mairu transforms with transvestite mentor Fuwari-chan and school king Tenyuu's help.
Kinoshita Mairu has a cute name and she's apologetic for it, because she's ugly. In fact, she's apologetic for her very existence because she's not cute. Classmates call her "Poison Mushroom" behind her back and even her own brother treats her with disdain. However, all of that is about to change with the help of her transvestite mentor/neighbor, Fuwari-chan, and the "school king," Kumada Tenyuu!

- 9 “Dang! Where do I even start?? First of all gotta thank my friend for recommending this! What a manga! The art is Shoujo like but the story itself isn't close to a pure heart-ed one! All I gotta say...”
- 9 “This ended up being one of my favorites. It is completely frustrating, there are many times I wish someone would slap the MC, I thought she was quite lame multiple times, but that is why I enjoyed...”
- 8 “~~~ BASED OFF READING 65 CHAPTERS~~~ Mairu isn't cute in any shape or form, but all this changed when she meets Tenyuu. Story& Character: The story is good, after reading hundreds of shoujo manga...”
