Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


From left to right: Noel, Sasa, Maria and Miyu

A manga by Wataru Yoshizumi (of Marmalade Boy and Ultra Maniac fame), wich ran between 1997 and 2000.

Fraternal twins Noel and Maria Minamino had always been extremely close, so, when Noel comes back from Spring vacations to discover that during his absence Maria has transferred to a boarding school pursuing a guy she fell in love with, without even telling him, he doesn't takes it well. Decided to get his sister back for all means possible, he decides to enroll in the same school as well. The mere detail that the only free lodging is in the female dormitories doesn't deter him; after all, with a wig and a padded bra he can pass as his twin's sister. Hilarity Ensues as Noel tries and fails to cock-block his sister while at the same time trying to keep up his fake identity. Rounding the cast are are Ryuuji Sasa, a guy with a fame of not getting along with girls who befriends Noel, and Miyu Makimura, Noel's roommate and eventual love interest, which has an aversion of liars (and giving the pretenses under which Noel is staying in the school...)
