Opinion: I love love love this story. I’m so ticked that Tokyopop put it on hold because I refuse to read the online scanlations due to quality ect. Oh well. Amazing graphics and the plot is so unique. Sure it’s the regular old cross dressing idea but it plays out so beautiful. And the romance is adorable! The two are so unknowing and innocent it melts your heart. Not to mention this manga is hilarious! This is a great series and I definitely recommend everyone to read it. A fun read!

Final Rating: 4/5

Extra: Tokyopop has currently put Charming Junkie on hold (March 21rst, 2009)
