My Androgynous Boyfriend, Vol. 01 by Tamekou
5.0
You know that feeling when something is so cute you just want to crush it? That’s how I felt while reading this manga. I’m pretty certain I smiled the whole way through.
Q: Why do you put so much effort into styling yourself?
A: So the person I love can admire me when they see me.
I picked this up initially based off the unique title and adorable art style and got sucked in way faster than I expected. I’m absolutely decimated by cute, fluffy manga and this series is just that. Wako and Meguru are ridiculously adorable together.
I really like that this follows an editor and a model - somewhat an expected trope but I feel like it’s flipped on it’s head with Wako as the editor and Meguru as the model. It’s often (gender wise) the other way around! The reveal that Meguru started as a YouTuber (essentially? online video creator) just made it even more relatable to our current internet climate.
I really like the healthy communication they have together. They reassure each other and work to keep the other happy. It’s so heartwarming! I loved seeing that this is a relationship that’s lasted since they were younger. It’s clear they know each other well.
There’s definitely the comedy aspect of Meguru being so androgynous as well. A lot of hijinks ensue with being in the public eye leading to misunderstandings. It feels realistic to how it’d be for him to exist in that bubble.
Idk what else to tell you, man. It was cute. I like cute things. So I liked this. A lot. Obviously. ✨
