So what's wrong with this one? It wants me to believe that this person is a 17-year-old guy. Wrong. Not possible.
This is a common problem with H-game conversions which try to preserve the original story without bringing across all the sex. The story usually doesn't make any sense and without the sex it's also pointless. (Most H-games don't have stories. What they have is scenarios, setups.)
The theory here is that this person's rich grandparent had wanted an offspring to go to a particular prestigious girl's high school but was frustrated by not having any female offspring. So in their will they made a huge bequest for this grandson conditional on him attending and graduating from said prestigious girl's school.
That part's fine. Well, no, it isn't. It would be a lot easier to buy if it were a middle school. Our hero's voice hasn't changed? He hasn't started shaving? I remember all the things that happened to me at puberty. This guy hasn't started packing on muscle? His hips got wide instead of his shoulders?
And would a surreptitious guy really wear a haltertop like that? And do you believe he'd look that good in it? That's at least D-cups, and there's no way they're falsies.
If that's a guy, he's been taking pills, and I mean the wrong kind of pills. The only way "he" could look like that is if he was being overloaded with estrogen in preparation for surgery, to the point where puberty was suppressed.
Popotan is also an H-game conversion, but they chucked the original story (and the protagonist) entirely. The only thing they used from the game was the character designs of the girls and the original name. Popotan is not top-shelf but it's better than you might think (if you can get past the "eew" factor inherent in the Mii character) and it has a pretty decent story to tell.
It's entirely possible that this series also has a decent story to tell, but I'm not interested in finding out. I don't need traps, for one thing, and this conceit would require stretching my suspension-of-disbelief way beyond the breaking point.
No way that's a guy.

It doesn't. Shion should also have been a much bigger part of the story. She was the best of the secondary characters. Instead we got Kona, the ghost, and the school body president, ad nauseum.

Anyway, the male version of the teacher had stronger shoulders than the female version, IIRC, and there were a few other ways they cheated. Remember when the vice principal got a look at "her" cleavage? Push-up bra or no, there shouldn't have been any "there" there!
Still, I enjoyed it. It was pretty good.

There is one series (I'm not going to name) which has a reverse trap in it where they absolutely, unquestionably, cheat on the art. In female form, she's got tits bigger than canteloupes and big wide hips. In male form they're nowhere to be seen.
But by the time the reverse trap was revealed in the series, it had already become clear to me that they were pulling out the stops on the cliches and that they knew how stupid it was.
Oh, hell; I'll put the series name in a spoiler tag:

Enclose all spoilers in spoiler tags:

Spoilers which are not properly tagged will be ruthlessly deleted on sight.
Also, I hate unsolicited suggestions and advice. (Even when you think you're being funny.)
At Chizumatic, we take pride in being incomplete, incorrect, inconsistent, and unfair. We do all of them deliberately.
