comedy romance school life shoujo |
SynopsisWelcome to Momoko's waking nightmare. Things were settled. They were! She was SUPPOSED to have gone to a normal school, made normal friends, and led a blissfully normal life. But the universe is just cruelly, irredeemably, monstrously unfair, so instead she found herself thrown out of home, stuck in an all-boys boarding school with a roommate she hates, cursed with a hideous haircut and wearing clothes which, to be frank, she wouldn't be seen dead in.
And the only thing worse than her current situation is the one that she'll be in if anyone ever realizes that she is, in fact, a girl. Everything is wrong! Everything! Particularly the fact that, even though she's surrounded by amazingly gorgeous guys, her chances of romance are less than zero. But with life this complicated, something is bound to give. In fact, it just did. Damn. (Source: Storm in Heaven)

Boku ni Natta Watashi is funny and well drawn but that's about as far as it goes. Momoke is naive and very stupid, to the point of being embarrassing. She has no backbone but is very stubborn and of course is too nice for her own good. Itou is the perfect man(that's right, not one single flaw), which of course makes him actually boring and gives you a tooth ache after a while.
The whole series makes you roll your eyes and shake your head. Nothing about this series is really possible and it's mostly just ridiculous. I'd never read this manga again because I barely got through it the first time. Just don't expect too much from this short series.
FYI: there is some mature content. read more

The story line is original, and well thought out. While there has been other story's about Girls trapped in an all boys boarding school, I do not believe the cause of that has ever been done before. To be honest the couple is just a little too perfect, and the author could have added a bit more conflict on Kunio's part. All the conflict in the story seems to be Solly focused around Momoko.
The characters have great depth to them. Momoko is your average girlie-girl, who loves shopping, hanging out with her friends, and talking about boys, but by the end of the Manga she is forced to change all that, or be expelled. Her brother is self centered, and doesn't seem to care what his family think of him. Although it's not like his mother has ever really given him the chance to do anything he wanted before. Kunio worries to much, and doesn't like to be bothered by anyone, but doesn't like to show any of it. Although when it come to those close to him he doesn't waist any time.
All in all I loved the manga, flaws included. And I recommend it to anyone looking for love, or just looking for a Good love story. Boku ni Natta Watashi is one of my favorite shojo manga, and I hope it will be one of yours too. read more

they both are about girls cross-dressing and going to an all-boys school then falling in love
EXACTLY the same...seriously...the only difference is that the lead character doesn't actually want to go into the school, but is forced by her mother. Otherwise it's eerily familiar.
Its also does not play up the comedy as far as Hana Kimi does.
There are too many similarities between these two to list them all. Both are about a girl who ends up in an all boys school, and falls in love with their roommate. Sano and Itou look really similar, and so does Mizuki and Takanashi. Both have really similar romances, and comedy. If you liked one, you'll most likely like the other :)
A girl disguises as a boy and goes to an all-boys school where she falls for her roommate. The characters are somewhat similar as well.
A girl having to disguise herself to go to an all-boys school. Although in Hana-Kimi she wanted to go, and in Boku ni Natta Watashi her mom made her. They both involve a pot of falling in love with their roommate and having to hide their secret (of being a girl).
In nearly every way, except Boku ni Natta Watashi is more disgusting >_>.. The only difference I liked in that story is the very end [where the main guy goes back to see her], mostly because he seems to be going somewhere in starting the relationship anew with her being a girl.
But in my recommendation, read Hana-Kimi. I'm sorry but I even regret picking up this manga. So heed my warning :O and don't read it.
gender-benders. in love with their roommates
Both about girl who hide her gender & with love in the dorm.
Cross-dressing girl that goes to all boys school
Both female leads attend an all boys school. The lead in Boku no Natta Watashi being forced to enter, whilst the lead in Hana Kimi entering by choice.

This one's generally the same. I mean the basic plot is. A girl is forced by her insane father to join her high school's men basketball team, which means not only living in the same dorm as all of her teammates but even having to give up her high school life as a girl and disguising herself as a boy...
A girl having to disguise herself to go to an all boys school. In both mangas, their parents are the ones forcing them to go. Both of the girls have to hide their secret from their roommate, and when they find out, how they deal with it. Both mangas have the love interest being their roommate.
Both are about girls hiding their gender at all-boys high school and about the romance betwen them and their dorm-mates.
Both about girl hide her gender for some reason, and she live in the dorm with a guy.
