Thank you to NetGalley and Kodansha for the e-book copy!

That Beauty Is a Tramp is about Nagi, who has an aversion to men's touch after an incident in college. Nagi wants to overcome this fear and find a boyfriend. One day she meets Aran, an androgynous model whose touch does not give her a reaction. They ultimately decide to date for one month to let Nagi practice being in a relationship. This was a good read and I'm looking forward to seeing this relationship develop. If the premise intrigues you, definitely check this title out.

This was such a fun and quick read and as it's the book 1, the characters and the plotline was well written and executed too.
I absolutely love the characters in this book.

Nagi wants a boyfriend, but has one big problem; her body reflexively rejects the touch of any man! (Honestly very relatable.) That is, until she encounters the beautiful male model Aran, who uses his androgynous look to effortlessly model both masculine and feminine styles.

The world of fashion and model. I can't be the only one who immediately though of one of the best manga series of all time <i>Paradise Kiss<i>? And because of that, you can imagine my surprise when I started reading this book.

I would say this is definitely more of a new adult type of manga but after the initial shock, I actually enjoyed this a lot! This was very quick and fun read. The art style is really beautiful and both of the main characters are fascinating, will definitely be picking up the next volume!

If you enjoyed mangas like <i>ParaKiss<i> which I already mentioned or <i>Nana<i> too or anything similar, I'm sure you will enjoy this one as well!

Thank you NetGalley and Kodansha Comics for the ARC!

This is definitely a good start to a new series. The art style is stunning, and I love an androgynous male in manga. I'm definitely excited to see where else this story goes.

Nagi wants a boyfriend badly but fears she'll never get them because of an incident in college that caused her to physically recoil whenever a man touches her, until she finds out her favorite model is actually a man, and for some reason she doesn't react when he touches her. So the two begin a temporary relationship to help Nagi get more used to men.

I wanted to like this. I really did.
The art is really pretty but the story went by much too fast, i felt no chemistry between the two and I just wish they had taken much more time to get to know each other before they began their "temporary relationship"
I really was not into the male love interest and the female kept on saying how it took a lot for her to like a man and it didn't really take that much did it...
Maybe this is just not the genre for me, but I really wasn't feeling it.

Thank you to NetGalley and Kondasha for providing me an arc for review!

3.5 Oh this was a fun one. I have always been into manga that lean heavily into fashion and romance. And “This Beauty is a Tramp” hit the right notes for me.
The art is so pretty and the fashion was actually interesting to admire.
And the plot was fun: Nagi is a tomboy who doesn’t like to be touched by men and Aran is a stunning gorgeous beautiful androgynous male model. There’s fake dating, jealousy, and my favorite “oh no we have to cohabitate” trope (one of my favorites.)
I’m very much so looking forward to future volumes.

3.5🌟!

such a quick and easy read for me of 149 pages
I loved how the artwork looked, the possessiveness and protectiveness of the two characters, I was most definitely giggling.

Nagi, our FMC is a tomboy who hasn't ever dated and punched a guy who tried to confess to her back in college. She is a huge fan on a female model named Aran who unbeknownst to her is actually a male androgynous model. When they meet face to face Aran is just as taken with Nagi as she is him. He asks her to help him with a modeling campaign and she agrees only if he if agrees to be her pretend boy friend. Thus setting up the premise of this story.

I thought the banter between our two leads was very cute. The way Aran is steadily trying to instill Nagi with self confidence is done tastefully. The art was gorgeous. The story was also fast paced and easy to get through. I look forward to the next volume.

Thank you Netgalley for providing with me an E-Arc.

As always, I'm thankful to Kodansha and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC.

I'm very... conflicted about this first volume. Plot-wise, it feels like everything's been put together haphazardly. I don't think a fictional work has to represent real life 100% and I go into a series fully intending to believe what I'm being presented about the world it'll build. However This Beauty is a Tramp expects you to feel something about the story without giving you a substantial ground to take your first steps on. Girl has a complex, the boy is looking for a model, they are on top of each other the next panel. You can make a quick hookup work, unfortunately I didn't think the artist was able to pull it off. I'll give this series the credit for focusing on arousal and desire Nagi's trying to wrap her head around, which is quite rare and something I'd like to see more of. Alan was a cool character as well; his character had certain inconsistencies throughout the volume, but we don't often get a male lead dresses in androgynous clothing or switches btw masculine/feminine outfits.

The art, though! It's beyond gorgeous. I spotted shoe models or socks changing from one panel to the next, but still. Love how silky the hair looks and -as expected from a fashion-focused series- the combinations the artist came up with were all super stylish! All in all, I'd give the 2nd volume a chance to see whether the points I adressed get better or not since my rating is more 2.5 stars than a 3. If you're already a fan of the genre, you might like to give it a chance though!

I liked the premises of "That Beauty Is A Tramp" but I was also truly impressed by its execution! It's a nice, fluffy romance that will make you kick your feet and give you butterflies in your tummy.
I always love when there's a fashion element in mangas, because I get to see cool and cute outfits and this was the case with "That Beauty Is A Tramp". I especially liked Aran's philosophy of "fashion has no gender" and I think that this manga plays around really nicely with gender expectations and gender roles while still being a "classic" straight romance (it's het without being heteronormative, if you know what I mean).
I'm looking forward to reading the next volume!

I really enjoyed this manga! I loved the androgyny of Aran and how comfortable he is with himself and also just the confidence he had. Nagi's character was also very relatable in the sense that one incident can make you uncomfortable enough to feel a way for years but I liked that she was willing to attempt to move forward and do so at her own pace, Aran respected her wishes and let her press pause whenever she wanted. The manga was cute, funny, and kept my attention, I would definitely keep reading the series because I liked the chemistry between the characters and would like to see how/when they get together. I'm hoping to see Nagi become more confident and even maybe model and Aran be more vulnerable as the series goes on.

That Beauty is a Tramp vol 1 was an easy, interesting read! Cute female lead and an androgynous male lead which makes for an interesting slow burn romance. Nothing too serious but a fun read.

This was my first ever manga! I was really sucked into the story and I’m excited to read the next volume. I love when the guy falls harder for the girl. The tension had me giggling for a little bit. I guess I didn’t read the description well enough because I was caught off guard with the guy being androgynous and I had never heard that term. Some may find this a bit cheesy but I enjoyed it overall.


Thank you to the author, the publisher, and NetGalley for this e-ARC.

Thank you to netgalley for sending me a copy of 'that beauty is a tramp vol 1' in exchange for an honest review. This manga was a fun one, didn't take itself too seriously and I had a great time reading it. I'm new to manga so I am still getting used to the reading/writing style but this one was by far the easiest I've read. Highly recommend.

First of all, MMC is boyfriending all the way through. He's totally swoon worthy. The FMC is very loveable and relateable. I tried to review on amazon and goodreads, but it wasn't available. I can't wait for the next one. People who love that addicting shojo like beauty pop and skip beat will love this.

This was something different. Need for me. I don’t normally read manga but decided to give this one a go. I really enjoyed it. Quick and easy read. Slowburny and sweet. I need the story to continue!

Filled with a gorgeous art style and amazing fashion, this manga pleasantly surprised me. The heroine was very sweet and beautiful (although unaware of her own beauty via lack of confidence), and the relationship between her and the ML unfolded in an unexpectedly spicy to sweet route. I really enjoyed this, and am looking forward to continuing to read this! I'd recommend it for anyone who loves a josei manga with beautiful artwork and a more lighthearted plot.

First and foremost, thank you NetGalley, the author and publisher for the opportunity to read this ARC, in exchange for an honest review.

It is a quick and easy read and absolutely gorgeous art! Things happened quite fast and we really don’t get to see much character development in this installment. However, I really liked the storyline and the characters, it is really sweet to see Aran falling for Nagi. The cliffhanger definitely has me waiting anxiously for the next volume.

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read this before its publication date! It was a really nice beginning to this story and I cannot wait to read the other volumes in Nagi’s story. Aran seems to be bewitched by her and I love it!!!

I love LOVE the artwork, but the plot of the story? Not so much, sadly. I love the female lead and her personality, but as much as I love the male lead’s character design (please he’s so gorgeous, I love my men beautiful with long hair ✨), I don’t really vibe with his personality. I like that Aran’s gentle with Nagi, but I’m not fond of characters who sleeps around with lots of people, and he can be rather pushy with Nagi too at some point.

The love trope in this one felt too insta-love, and some of the scenes don’t mesh well together. One time they’re talking, and the next thing they’re half naked, but they’re not actually doing the deed either? It left me with a jarring feeling. I would have liked it if the romance is just a little bit slow-burn, but that’s just my opinion, I guess.

Despite not liking the plot much, I think I’d like to read the next volume if I have the opportunity, just so I can have more eye-candy to feast on 💖🎀 the artwork is too pretty, especially for Aran, but I have a feeling that Nagi will be prettier too from now onwards as she venture more into the fashion world with Aran’s help.
