Story: (9)
The story center around a high school boy, Minoru Urayama, joining the Japanese idol group AKB48 in order to support his crush, Hiroko Yoshinaga. He enters the group under the name Minori Urakawa and tried his best to survive in the whole female idol group. During this mess he became more and more involved with the group as he also slowly began to change.
This isn't a classical gender swap or harem story as the plot rarely goes into that direction. Instead it focuses its romance as something more of a motivation and should be classified as more of a shounen trope filled with struggles ...

Preliminary (54/263 chp)

Story -
This story revolves around a high-school student who pretends to be a female in order to support his love interest from within the audition, however what he did not expect was to be one of the candidates to pass, so he continues to support his love interest from within the group as Minori as well as from outside as Minoru. The synopsis, along with my short description, would lead you to believe that this story lacks an actual story and that it is just another one of those manga's that starts off interesting enough ...

I don't write any reviews for most of the content I read and watch, but AKB49: Renai Kinshi Jourei has struck me very deeply. It has provided me with a new perspective of not only the idol scene in general, but towards life as well. I'll try my best to not spoil the story.

This story's protaganist is Urayama Minoru, who cross dresses as Urayama Minori. This is a start of a exhilarating story that shows the pure, raw effort that idols put everyday to their craft. Humble beginnings, modesty, rivalry, courage, determination, and the most important of all - dedication towards fans and members is ...

When you love someone, you want to give the best effort to help her fulfill her dreams, especially in the entertainment world. If it's an all-female group, you might want to crossdress and help her, even if it means compromising your career with one wrong move. This is what Urayama Minoru did for his crush, Hiroko Yoshinaga.

Story (7)
• The story starts straightforward, bringing readers inside the world of AKB48, its members, then through processes, and later, characters forging their paths, and sacrificing even the best of friends along the way. Definitely a total meaning of being an idol in real life. Throughout the story, as ...

AKB49: Renai Kinshi Jourei's a gender-bender manga about idols. I think that if you don't like the premise of the synopsis of a crossdressing male into female going into show business, then you won't like this manga. Once you get past this flashy synopsis, you realize that this manga is surprisingly pretty serious about the showcasing how idols operate. It's obviously a light hearted sort of manga, but it also is serious at a lot of parts, mainly showing the determination of the characters to become idols really shines through.
I like Urukawa Minori's journey towards the top of stardom. That being said, there's a lot ...

In my opinion, the series is a bit harem-oriented (then the shounen tag), the male main friend also accidentally dropped the girls, but you can rest assured, from the beginning to the end, the version only loves and pays attention to 1 person. the only daughter.

I highly appreciate the character of the main male (Minoru Urayama) in this series, patient enough, determined enough, steadfast enough, all for a goal he set from the beginning. Her great sacrifice for the female main character (Hiroko Yoshinaga), is truly admirable!
Special: In addition to the 2 male and female mains as well as the fictitious 12th generation Kenkyuusei, all ...

This is the story of how a man became the greatest AKB idol of all time, his journey beginning with merely wanting to support the dream of his crush.

AKB49: Renai Kinshi Jourei is a masterpiece, which is funny because it was written by the same author who wrote Rent a Girlfriend. While reading it may seem hectic and over-the-top at times, the concept of the story and how it is delivered to us readers is sensational. Never would I have thought that I would be enjoying reading a manga about a femboy for 263 chapters.

The story mostly revolves around Urayama Minoru, our manly protagonist who ...

Hi! I don’t usually write reviews, so the fact that I got an urge to write it for this manga says a lot. I’ll preface this with a bit of info, I had absulutely no interest in idols or the whole idol culture and to be fair I was trying to avoid it as best as I could for the last 10-ish years that I’ve been watching anime/reading manga. However, after trying to find a new manga to read, I randomly stumbled upon this manga and the premise just seemed too stupid for me to pass up on it. So I started reading it and ...
