Romance is not a new genre for Japanese manga tropes. But, Tameko’s “My Androgynous Boyfriend” gives a fresh take to the same old traditional love story by throwing in a twist. What twist you ask?
Aside from the piled up misunderstandings and heart-melting romance, My Androgynous Boyfriend throws in the twist of accepting androgynity and breaking social norms.
Such an important topic was bound to be picked up by a movie or drama producer at some point right?
Well surprise, surprise!! My Androgynous Boyfriend is preparing for a live-action TV series set to be released on April 1, in NTV, YTV and other affiliated channel’s “MokuDora F” programming timeslot.

Their relationship is as sweet as sugar but there’s one issue, him being an androgynous model and dressing up as a woman has made Wako’s peers think she is into women. While Meguru’s fans now think their precious idol must be dating a guy.
