I've finished reading "Ai Ore Vol. 8" by Mayu Shinjo.
Product Description
The boy (who looks like a girl) meets girl (who looks like a boy) romance!
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!
After her house and prized guitar are destroyed in a fire, Mizuki moves in with Akira at the Dankaisan dorm. To help pay for a new guitar, Mizuki gets a part-time job and is wildly successful at it, but she won’t tell Akira what it is.
Reads R to L (Japanese Style) for teen plus audiences.

My Review:
Muzuki's house catches on fire and her prized guitar is destroyed so she moves in with Akira at the Dankaisan dorm. She gets a part-time job to pay for a new guitar which she is very popular and makes the other employees jealous.
During this time they also make out on his bed and she is worrying if she really wants to sleep with Akira or not. After some kissing he stops because he knows she isn't ready and he will wait until she is ready. He wants to make love to her.
At the end Akira invites Mizuki for some alone time with just the two of them and she decides she really wants to be with him.
The illustrations are gorgeously drawn, the storyline is heading to more serious and adult like theme and Akira and Mizuki's relationship is stronger than ever. I'm glad that he didn't pressure her in sleeping with him and is manly enough to wait until she is really ready.
5/5
