Kedamono Damono

One of the things I like about manga is the ability to read a wide variety of stories, as well as experience different perspectives and views. Unfortunately, I sometimes come across stuff that should just never have been made, and I then regret why I even bothered to read it.

Kedamono Damono is absolute crap. Seriously, avoid this dumb shoujo like the plague. It has a unique premise, a gender-bender comedy about a guy who becomes a girl at night...and that's it. The romance is a horrible will-they-won't they, and the series art reeks of unoriginality. I know I'm not the first, or last, to say this, but thank god most shoujo manga nowadays have characters that DON'T look like living dolls out of an acid dream. Bottom line: This sucks.

You can't take Kedamono Damono seriously, but that's half the fun. Genderbending has never been so awesome. (Is it even genderbending? I mean, Haruki is sometimes completely a boy & sometimes a girl. That's not even really genderswapping, considering it's the same body. I guess genderswitching would be the most accurate term... These are the kinds of thoughts this manga inspires. :D)
