Goodreads Synopsis:

The Kobayashi twins discover that cross-dressing as each other leads to trouble and true love!

The Kobayashi twins, Megumu and Mitsuru, were named after historical figures, but only Megumu has grown up with a taste for history. So when Mitsuru is in danger of losing his weekends to extra history classes, he convinces his sister to swap clothes with him and ace his tests! After all, how hard can it be for them to play each other?

The Tohoku earthquake devastated Sendai and the surrounding region, but life must go on. Time is passing, recovery is ongoing, and Megumu and Mitsuru are building their new lives. But Megumu struggles with the idea that healing from tragedy must mean forgetting. Can she find a way to use her new success as a manga artist to honor all that was lost?

Review:

Mego and Aoi finally get married. And they have kids, and Mitsuru and Azusa get married, and Shino and her boyfriend get married. Mego finally gets to write a book with Shino, and of course it's based on her and Aoi.

I actually don't mind most of this, and it fits the story. I just don't care for these characters. It's all very cheesy and cliché and expected. Blech.

After that, we get to see a little one-shot about a boy band, when one of the members bumps into a casual fan in town. I didn't mind this story, but again, it was very cheesy and over-the-top.

I just don't care for this author, I don't think. The art is okay most of the time, but the humor is not for me, and the romance is way too childish and exaggerated.

This series was just not my kind.
