Kirameki!! Otoko no Ko Juku · review
Kagayaku!! Otaoko no Ko Juku, also known as Sparkle!! Crossing-Dressing Boys Cram School. I did find one thing somewhat deep and touching in this manga! Yay! 'Beauty has nothing to do with gender.' Story:: 7 In order to work under his favorite author Amara Tsurugi, Miyashita Akira has to follow some strict (and odd) rules. This means cross-dressing and embracing the cross-dressing life style. Cross-dressing isn't something new, honestly I'm a big fan or it. That said I'm also a fan of a good Yaoi, and this is noted under Shounen Ai, but it isn't really, so don't get your hopes up in any way. Its basicallya pervert dressing school kids up for entertainment and help with work. But the plot also contains some humor so its redeemable. Other then that there isn't much to it.
Art:: 6
The art is very basic, nothing special about it. There isn't really anything unique about it.
Character:: 6
While there are only 4 chapters published, I will say that we get no character development. Though I wasn't expecting there to be any. The only true development that I could see was Akira growing to craze being more and more feminine. It was interesting to see how just a few simple changes could transform him into a girl and how he enjoyed it despite having denied wanting to cross-dress at all.
Enjoyment:: 7
It was decent. I mean I didn't really pick this up as a series read. I just wanted something funny and weird, which I certainly got with this. Though it wasn't as odd as I had hopped. It was funny and kind of all over the place, but again I wasn't expecting anything series or anything that made sense. This was one of those, 'Oh look, a rather unknown manga, not only that but look at that cover, I must read it!'. It was one of my mindless decisions that seem to get me into a long of trouble.
Overall:: 7
