User Reviews For: He's a Girl (For the Sake of Convenience)

This is kinda breaking my heart. Fuji has been living a lie for so long and missing out on so much of the world around him all for the sake of being normal and doing what comes so easily for the majority of the population. And Kana is living his life, exploring new things and keeping an open mind and also being true to himself with no shame. Their shared history and insecurities as young men has shaped them into the adults they are today. Both living such different lives because they both had a different outcome from their breakup. Kana doesn't want to have any regrets, so he lives life to the fullest, where as Fuji is still stuck. He seems calm and cool to others, but is really a selfish man. And Kana is so accepting of him. Their relationship is going to be very interesting to watch develop as the chapters keep coming. After just reading two, I'm so intrigued to find out what will happen to them. Do they stay together? Get a HEA? Learn new life lessons? All of the above? Can't wait!

Despite how the cover looks and the title, it's actually a thoughtful story with interesting characters, a couple twists, and a good message/moral. It has an optimistic ending that echos the popular saying "it does get better", especially if you are true to yourself. The artwork and sex scenes are great. I recommend giving this story a read.

This was very sweet and lovely. Both of their back stories are so bittersweet and realistic - I'm so happy they found each other again. The only reason I couldn't bring myself to give the last star, was because of the shockingly awful assault that happened in chapters 5/5.5 which was pretty much brushed under the rug - it didn't happen between the two MCs though, for which I am relieved tbh. Otherwise, I think this story really pulls at your heart strings, and the ending is quite satisfying. I would definitely recommend!

I agree with both of the prior reviews - this is a lovely story, my heart broke in both chapter one and two. Reading through to the end it is a much deeper story than the title and cover art suggest. Absolutely worth a read.

this manga touches on various lgbtq+ issues in an honest way that made the story and characters easy to relate to, i loved it. gender, sexuality, societal and familial pressures and expectations, internalized homophobia, and other lgbtq+ topics i dont see too often in bl manga (on renta at least) are all meaningful parts of the story, and part of the main characters' growths. the story overall was a little heartbreaking, but fear not, theres a happy end in store. i definitely recommend this story, its like chicken soup for the soul.be warned, there ARE two scenes (same instance) of genuine noncon, but it isn't between the main couple. everything else is relatively consensual.

This made me cry a lot. There was just so much grief in this somewhat realistic approach to how many LGBT individuals feel. I'm happy with the ending but I wouldn't have minded an extra or two. Lots of drama to get to where they ended up, I would've liked to see them happy.

it's heavy and really plot-worthy to talk about the lives both Kana and Fuji both lived. It touched very close to reality to how people try to live the way they don't to avoid pain and also to mingle with the "norm". I'm glad both MCs figured themselves out and what they really want in their lives.
