I've finished Ai Ore! Vol. 1 by Mayu Shinjo.
Product Description
Reads R to L (Japanese Style) T+ audience.
Mizuki is the female “prince” of her all-girls school and the lead guitarist in an all-girl rock band. Akira is the male “princess” of his all-boys school and wants to join her band. Love may be on his mind, but romance is difficult when everyone keeps mistaking Mizuki for a boy and Akira for a girl!
When the lead singer of Blaue Rosen announces she is moving overseas, Akira does all he can to convince Mizuki and her bandmates to let him join. But will a resistant Mizuki allow him into her band, much less her heart?

My Review:
WARNING: I highly recommend this manga for the 16+ and older crowd. Mayu is know for her "smut". This has gender bender characters where a girl looks like a guy and a guy that looks like a girl. There is scenes of sexual assault and rape so if you don't like stuff like then don't read this series!
Mizuki dresses and acts like a guy (she thinks that's cool) and is known as the "prince" of her all-girl school. She's the lead guitarist of Blaue Rosen and has been childhood friends with the lead singer. She tall and masculine looking.
Akira really wants to join Blaue Rosen and even dresses the part as a girl (dress, etc.). He's known as the "princess of his all-boy school. He also has another personality known as "Dark Akira" his macho alpha male and stalker mode. In this mode he is quite cruel and very possessive and protective of Mizuki (he even beat up someone in his posse and also deliberately missed someone else with an arrow). He's short and feminine looking even dressed as a guy.
Mizuki finds herself in a situation and has to be rescued by Ran the President of Student Council of Akira's school and posse. How does Akira get revenge you will have to read to find out!
The manga ends with a cliffhanger of a scene and I can't wait to find out what happens in the next volume.
I can't wait till Vol. 2 comes out in August!
5/5
