The Guy She Was Interested In Wasn’t a Guy at All is a manga series featuring a young woman named Aya who develops a crush on a cute and nonchalant “guy” at the local CD store.

What she doesn’t realize is that her crush isn’t a guy at all, but a fellow female classmate Mitsuki who just happens to dress in an androgynous way when outside school.

You can read a summary from publisher Yen Press below.

Fashionable and upbeat high schooler Aya falls head over heels for an employee at a local CD shop. He’s got an air of mystery about him, always dressed well, and has impeccable taste in music. Little does she know—this supposedly male employee is actually her female classmate Mitsuki! Mitsuki generally keeps to herself, but since her seat is right next to Aya’s, she can’t help but be extremely aware of the other’s crush. Revealing the truth is out of the question—but perhaps getting closer to Aya wouldn’t be so bad…

Among English publishers, Yen Press appears to be one of the better ones, publishing titles such as Interspecies Reviewers. However some of their titles have also been the victim of censorship by retailers and governments alike.

The Guy She Was Interested In Wasn’t a Guy at All is set to hit American bookshelves on October 22, 2024!
