Tenshi Ja Nai!! (I'm No Angel) Volume 1 Book

Very similiar plot to W Juliet, tomboy girl falls for boy actor pretending to be a girl. The details are different. Rather than proving his skill, this boy is earning money to pay his comatose dad's hospital bills. The problem is unlike the warm affection and true love that grows between the two main characters in W Juliet. Izumi is a scary pervert who takes naked pictures of female lead Hikaru and later threatens to rape her to force her to be compliant about something. Hikaru however is the one constantly apologizing for non-offenses. If Izumi was really treated like a scary pervert this might bother me less, but I think the writer wants us to be sympathetic to him because he's cute and on rare occasions does nice things. In real life, this would turn into a degenerating cycle of sexual abuse, but since this is supposed to be a romantic comedy, it will be sugar coated into a "he only hurts you because he likes you, and that makes it okay" type crap.

On the positive, I do like the art style. There's just enough backgrounds to give you a real sense of place. The pacing and dialogue are a little forced, but not awful. So I'd be willing to try a different title by the same author.
