Princess Princess

To watch Princess Princess you have to keep in mind, it's a bit weird.

First off, the story. If we're really being honest here, it's kind of something out of a fangirl's mind. A prestigious all-boys school where a 'lucky few' are picked to dress up as princesses. Yes, you did hear that right, boys dressing up as princesses is the basic idea of this anime. And is there any more story than that? Not really. There's a bit of character development, one actual relationship involving one of the main characters and a teeny bit of shounen-ai to make the fangirls, who are undoubtedly watching, happy. ... So the story gets a 6 from me, it's not terrible but it kind of makes you go '...really?' to accepting the fact that, not only would this happen, but that anyone would agree to it (thought the perks the princesses get are nice).

Don't be fooled by the anime's picture. The art is decent enough, but it's nothing special. I do have to give props to whoever designed the princesses outfits, at times they were really cute. Character design was alright, but it's all something you could find in any other anime, nothing is particularly unique. It's simply good and nothing more.

As for sound, I'm a big fan of Romi Paku who does Yuujirou's voice and the other voice actors are good enough. The music was so-so. Usually I love or hate OPs and EDs, Princess Princess didn't give me much feeling either way. Sometimes I half-listened to them, other times I skipped them. I don't actively seek the songs out to listen to them, but they weren't bad, just not anything that stuck with me.

The main characters are nothing special, but it's unlikely that you'll dislike them. They all have their own quirks and backgrounds which, for a series of only 12 episodes, were explored adequately enough to leave you hoping for, but not needing, more. So, the characters were handled well, but there honestly wasn't much to work with. They were pretty much average.

But when it comes to enjoyment? Well, that's a 10. Despite all its flaws and drawbacks Princess Princess is a fun watch. If you're looking for a blatantly yaoi/shonen-ai series, that's not what it is. And if you're looking for something mind-blowing and new, this isn't it. But if you're looking for something that's short, sweet, and simple, then you're in the right place.

Clearly intended and marketed as a yaoi/shounen-ai series, “Princess Princess” will no doubt find most of its fans in that demographic, but those not akin to that genre will surely enjoy the series too purely for its comedic value. While not as a funny as “Ouran High School Host Club” or using offbeat humor like “School Rumble”, “Princess Princess” still delivers solid comedy.

To really enjoy “Princess Princess”, you do have to accept its somewhat ridiculous premise, an all-boys school where the most effeminate and pretty boys of the first year students get designated as 'hime' (aka princess) and cross dress as girls in order to ... boost the morale of the boys all round the school, much like some sort of cheerleaders. While the princesses have many chores and duties, they do get benefits so one could view it as a paid part-time function.
Then again, such a premise isn't all that silly if we look at that of “Ouran High School Host Club” for instance. Anime series have their share of silly premises one must accept to enjoy them.

“Princess Princess” focuses on Shihoudani, Mikoto and Tooru, how they live their year as princesses and reconcile with this rather peculiar job.
Even excluding the comedic scenes, Tooru and Shihoudani are brought forth as a possible romantic pairing and part of the plot is spent on their relationship which may be more than friendship. It is never explicitly stated they are or will become involved, but it's a clear possibility. Even those who are not into the yaoi/shounen-ai genre will not mind it one bit as it's handled well.
With the main plot focus being on Tooru's character development and past, Shihoudani's character is also sufficiently fleshed out so they're less two-dimensional and their respective past experiences helps in set up the believability of their mutual understanding and bond.
Mikoto's character provides a nice contrast, being the most effeminate of the three yet also the one who opposes his job as a princess the most, and who has a heterosexual relationship. Regardless, he does seem to fantasize about wearing matching female attire with his girlfriend Megumi. (No one would mind, they'd definitely look gorgeous together.)
Other than that he gets little background for his character, one could say even Sakamoto, a friend of the three, gets more character development than Mikoto.

The student council was another matter, they were so blatantly gorgeous, perfect males and aimed at the yaoi/shounen-ai fan demographic that it did bother me at some times and put off some of the comedic aspect of the student council presidents shenanigans and plots. But one might rack them up as pure fanservice.
Sayaka's character is another matter entirely, largely used as plot development vehicle for Tooru, it's hard to try to understand her perspective. Even though one could imagine her parents' dire situation in how to deal with a daughter's predicament like Sayaka's, often you wonder why they simply do not get her professional help.

Speaking of fanservice, all the scenes of Shihoudani, Mikoto and Tooru cross-dressing as girls are off course, purely aimed at that. One mustn't fear to recoil at seeing cross-dressing males appear on-screen, in those scenes Shihoudani, Mikoto and Tooru are simply drawn as girls in typically frilly, gothic-esque girl attire. And yes, they do look very cute as girls in their princess appearances.

The animation in “Princess princess” is decent, most budget and effort clearly having been put into the above mentioned fanservice scenes. Other scenes are visually unremarkable, backgrounds are very simple and plain. The lackluster animation will not put off enjoying the series, but it does not add positively in any way either.
The same applies to the soundtrack, which is unremarkable, standard fare as well.

One will no doubt enjoy “Princess Princess” as a comedy, and if you're into yaoi/shounen-ai, then you've probably already watched this series.

Princess Princess,

Story:
The story is interesting... Makes me wonder if an all boys school actually does that... It's an interesting storyline but I really can't complain. Humor, humor, humor is basically what this anime tries to get you with. It does a good job, and it compensates for the man on man atmosphere. If your looking for some shoujo-ai you will be sadly disappointed.

Art:
Art is good, no repeat scenes... thank god.

Sound:
Sound is good, no problems. Character voices are perfect.
...
Character:
Character's were great, all with individual problems, while caught up in a mess of school activities. Development was great, and you'll come to like maybe even love the characters :D

Why did I like this anime?
It was funny, and a good breather between serious anime's (if you like more of the drama/sad type animes). However I was GREATLY disappointed there was no shoujo-ai between a "certain" two characters (once you see it you'll understand). The manga creator was "advised" not to make it into a shoujo-ai manga.

oh boy this is a special treat right here.

the world is a fucked up and wonderful place. the lines are blurred and the freedom to disregard common sense is beautiful. i love this anime to death and everything it stands for.

for this review i guess it might be nessecary to point out that i am a straight male (ok not 100% but i swear anime made me slightly bisexual).

this anime is largely a yaoi fanservice anime, focusing mainly on genderbending. kinda like harem/ecchi but for girls, or just anyone who is a bit curious and confused. i don't know what i am so i ... guess i'm confused.
genderbending was a concept that i barely even knew existed until maybe a year ago, now i love that shit and i don't know why. i love traps, i love reverse traps too. and at this point i don't know if i'm a virgin because i like this shit, or if i like this shit because i'm a virgin. but somewhere in my brain it feels inherently logical to equate sexual desperation to an increase in sexual perversions.

anyway lets get down to it. our protagonist tooru kouno transfers to an all boys high school, where there's been a secret and several decades long tradition to take the most attractive male students and dress them up as girls to become the rest of the schools mascots/eyecandy. this is sort of an inevitable perversion in an environment where there are no females around and just a bunch of pubertal teens going rampage. which is actually quite similar to my own life situation, except i'm not pubertal and it's just me alone in my college dorm room where only other guys live, and i very rarely go outside.

but enough of my self deprecation. so this school has also found that making these attractive people crossdress impacts the school as a whole in a very positive way, due to the "princesses" cheering etc their sports teams are doing better than they ever would have if not for the school's princesses cheering. they also resolve conflicts with their effeminate mannerisms so everything is peaceful. in return these princesses also get cash money from the student council.

the characters themselves have an exceptional amount of depth for being a yaoi fanservice, seeing shihoudani and tooru on their summer vacation gives you a taste of what their "non-professional" personalities are like, and their family problems etc.

so much praise from my side but here is some criticism. i feel like they could have made this anime into something much more profound by for instance involving parts where the main characters go through identity crisis. due to all their acting, they start to forget who they really are/were, become confused and/or uncomfortable with their gender roles and have no idea what to identify as anymore. something like that, you get the picture.

the concept of vanity is also a large part of this show, quite rarely seen in anime due to most characters being way more attractive than the average 3D person. but in this show the contrasts are vast. the regular people look unappealing and the princesses+sakamoto have big kind looking eyes and shit. and generally are better looking and more effeminate than most 3D women out there (jesus christ since when did i start comparing people in anime to real life people, i have become a monster).

that is enough. just go watch it right now and become a more fucked up person than you were before.

First of all, I want to specify that this is MOSTLY NOT yaoi/shonen-ai. There are no boy/boy relationships whatsoever. Nevertheless, they are implied and there is a scene that might be concidered shonen-ai.
Nothing even slightly hardcore so I'm pretty sure others (more girls, I guess) can enjoy this anime without being freaked out.

This is a simple anime. It stars with a lame excuse of a plot but then proceeds to develop each of the characters background, which is quite interesting for the most part. After the character development, the story comes to an end.

The latter fact left me with an empty feeling; why come to ... know these characters if we're not going to hear more from them?
The problems that pop up are quite repetitive at that, so I'm at a loss to say if making it so short was a good or bad thing.

All I can say is this series is to have fun! I actually laughed at how exaggerated and ridiculous the characters and situations are.

I loved the art, the protagonists were really beautifully drawn. Their costume designs were cute but were also quite the same (except for some).

Sound? as for most anime, whatever.

I wouldn't watch this again, the jokes are good for a one time thing but perhaps I would one lazy day when I want to look at pretty bishonen.

A poor adaption of its highly likable cousin, the manga, Princess Princess is an anime that makes you suffer completely throughout it and is something you should probably watch with your friends to be able to endure.

I had decent expectations of this anime at first. Especially since the manga is one of my favourites of all time -- (I mean, who can resist Taishi Zaou's humour? It's just FABULOUS) -- and let's face it, Studio Deen is a great studio in itself too. There are so many elements to this that could have made it great.

The story starts out OK, presenting the same premise ... that the manga had shown, with some minor tweaks. The corner room in the dorms is now the P-room, the head of the dorm is apparently a senpai and... I don't recall Mikoto showing up in a dress at the very beginning? Since it's something only done for events and the like, but whatever.

Everything would have been fine if Studio Deen didn't decide on mixing up story lines and arcs just to fit every good moment they wanted into the anime. It's understandable, but surprising and didn't do the anime well. Characters get minimized or exaggerated as the story goes on and certain events lose their meaning in the progress.



[--- SKIP THIS PART IF YOU DON'T WANT TO READ SPOILERS ---]

Examples of this are:

Sayaka's episodes are over the top and that says a lot, since she was an extreme character already. Why does she threaten to throw herself off a hill? How did she get to accepting Tooru and Yuujirou together if only days/moments before she was tormenting Yuujirou endlessly for being Tooru's "boyfriend"?

Why did Yuujirou's family unexpectedly show up at the school festival? Why not make Tooru come along with Yuujirou to visit them at his home? The fact he traveled so far at Yuujirou's request in the manga made it extra significant. Heck, even Yuujirou's mom wondered in an extra comic if Tooru was his boyfriend because of that. "Do you think they are dating...? No one would travel that far for just a friend, right? And lately Yuujirou has been sparkling --" [a reference to the princess smile] "... It's what love does to someone, I suppose..."

And I can't believe how flat Tooru's decision at the end of the anime was (episode 12). Why was the whole school there to cheer? Why did all the other characters even know and meddle with this? And how come Studio Deen missed out on a chance to incorporate the Very Gay Scene™ between Tooru and Yuujirou if they skipped various story lines to get there? They could have animated Tooru telling Yuujirou "I wanted to hear it from you the most... that you would miss me."

Anyway, enough about how Studio Deen tried to gay it up and hecked up in the progress. I could talk about it forever.

[--- SPOILERS END HERE ---]



Continuing, I thought the art of the anime wasn't great. It might have been decent for a 2006 anime, but it still had a lot of still scenes, chibis and lack of action. Maybe it's not fair to compare it to BONES anime, but I thought FullMetal Alchemist (2003) and Ouran High School Host Club (2006) were a lot better in terms of animation in that time. Not that I expect a lot of budget for an anime like this.

Which brings me to the genre: shoujo. I was okay with the mangaka calling the Princess Princess manga a shoujo because it was acceptable. Okay, it felt a bit fake, but it wasn't like she was particularly aiming for it to be shounen-ai. Gay moments aside, of course.

But Studio Deen? MAN, THEY UPPED THEIR GAME. "This is a shoujo anime" they whisper, as they show the ending with only Tooru and Yuujirou, while dressing them up... can I just say "gay". I screamed "WHAT THE F*** IS THIS" when the ending first came up because it was so random and ... gay. I have no other words to describe it. And let's face it: Mikoto would be relieved to be left out of that ending. If Tooru and Yuujirou are just going to be sexy photoshoot models pretending to be a couple, then Mikoto wouldn't want to be a part of it.

Poor Mikoto is always left out. Do I even pity him or feel relief for him in this anime? I don't know anymore.

Either way, the music of this anime was okay. I don't even know what to say about the opening and ending songs anymore. I just experience second hand embarrassment with those. The songs are pretty good though, really. I just can't believe they were put with this anime.

Characters are... decent? They had strong source material to back them up, if that makes sense. As much as was possible with the jumbled story lines, the characters were as OK as they could be in that situation. Aside from Sayaka, I don't feel like they deviated too much from the manga. Though Yuujirou acted out of character in a few occasions too, but whatever.


Let's just end this review and say I didn't enjoy this anime. I'm not even funny. I just wanted to whine and complain about a failed adaption of a manga I liked to bits.

Please do read the manga though. I promise it's great and more consistent and logical. If you like the idea of BL, then it will be GREAT as well. Because who doesn't think Yuujirou is into Tooru? And if you don't like BL... then that's probably fine too. I've seen a lot of comments around of people who said "I don't want them to be gay... but I think they would fit great together? xD"

Honestly, do whatever you like. Sorry for comparing this to the manga so much and I'm sorry if you actually liked this anime a lot. If you liked it, then that's great! I'm glad you did.

I'm just relieved that I'm released from Puri Puri Hell now.

Au revoir Puri Puri. Thanks for letting me write a review at 1 AM.

this is my first time watching gender-bender anime. just randomly pick this anime
out of anime list out there.

my overall rating for this story is 6. i love the idea of story like turning
boys to a girl but the story kinda plain not much worth to see.

cant find punchline and i believe that makes the story flow become boring till
the end of episode.

i believe many people will share the same opinion with me that the
... story plot very weak and too plain.
my excitement level dropping a lot after watching this anime. :(

conclusion
nothing much to see here.

To somewhat clarify, this anime isn't yaoi/bl/shounen-ai/ect; but there are hints of it, which you can say is fanservice because it probably is. However saying that it's completely hetero seems a little off too, there are a lot of moments and bonding between Yuujiro and Tooru. And even though a lot of those moments are a lot more homo out of context, it's still there. I like them together, and I wish they actually had more moments like that, but to completely honest, it's really only shounen-ai if you have shipper googles (for example when Mikoto is asking them why they don't have girlfriends and ... they just kinda get awkward and look at each other, to a shipper that's homo subtext, but to anyone else they just simply don't have girlfriends and that's that, nothing more). So, you probably shouldn't go into this expecting a full out confession.
It's just... a bit too hetero for the people who want them to date, and a bit too gay for the people who don't, y'dig?

As for the other, more important aspects of the show, it's really one of the best I've seen in a while. And I'm totally not just saying that because damn do I love boys in dresses and pretty clothing. It's very funny and I really enjoy all the self-aware jokes they make. The plot is a little odd, because there kind of isn't one. Them dressing up and cheering on the other boys are actually unimportant to the shows climax, which is weird. Like, the same thing could have happened without the pretty clothes. Really though, it's very easy to over look that flaw because of how much I love the characters and their interactions, which is very important to me. this anime tosses a few tropes out the window, for example this is the animes I've seen yet where the main protagonist isn't the facing some internal turmoil about being forced into a thing and slowly accepting it, and it's one of his friends instead. Overall, I really recommend this anime so much, even if it's not your "style" maybe you could recommend it to a friend? Princess Princess is so very underrated and it infuriates me because I enjoyed it so much. Please watch this!

Average and forgettable, but undeniably enjoyable.

The whole premise immediately makes PriPri silly enough that you don't expect too much from it. It's cute and comedic, very light. Its strength is its characters - every other aspect of it is extremely average. As far as plot goes, there isn't really a single storyline that runs through the series. In the main each episode is a new story rather a continuation of the previous one. The characters are what make it fun. I think I found a favorite in Shihoudani, he was particularly strong.

This isn't really a shonen-ai anime, although I can see it appealing ... to a similar demographic. Any romance between the main characters is only ever hinted at, so don't go into this expecting a lot of that kind of action.

PriPri has a lot of faults, but I would be lying if I said I didn't like it. Every episode make me laugh and smile.

Ok... I love to hate this show, I can’t explain it, but everything this show stands for...Is terrible and I love Watching I. This show is painfully underrated. Literally no one talks about this glorious dumpster fire.
If you’re wondering what I mean: this show is just- The show is about an all boys school that is basically bored out of their minds, so to make their school lives less dull they choose the prettiest boys in schools to be their cheerleaders at functions, and this has been going on for decades. But this time around, it’s Yuujirou (he is completely fine with it), Tohru the ... transfer student (he is indifferent), and Mikoto (he hates it). And you’re just watching them confusedly dress as girls (specifically Gothic Lolita) and cheer on male students in sports, but also learn about the 3 boy’s lives.
This show is hilarious, so hilarious I felt the need to purchase the original Manga, and it is even better. This show is so underrated. Please give it a watch.

When beautiful Tooru transferred to an all-boys school, he received a warm welcome...but little did he know that his new classmates had nominated him for the academy's "Princess System." The lovely campus "Princesses" must dress as girls (in frilly Gothic Lolita costumes) at school events in order to lighten the stolid masculine atmosphere. Tooru baulks at first, but soon comes to realise the advantages of being a "Princess."

My thoughts:
I really enjoyed this anime and wish it had been dubbed. I love the characters Tooru, Shihoudani and Mikoto. It's considered yaoi but there's only one kiss in the entire anime, so it's a very mild ... yaoi. These 3 guys dress up as girls to help encourage the all male school in their sports and clubs to do their best. Fun anime filled with humor, mild suspense and suggestive relationships. Worth watching.

Princess Princess holds a special place in my heart. This was one of the first animes I watched before becoming completely engulfed into watching anime and reading manga. In fact, Princess Princess is the second anime series I completely finished, Naruto being the first (I will talk about that one some other day).

Princess Princess has a silly story, it isn't anything too deep. The main gimmick this show contains is that the three main characters have to dress as girls at an all boy school. It's not the best gimmick, but it works pretty well and leads to a funny and entertaining watch.

It revolves around ... three teenagers, Kouno (blue hair guy aka main character), Shihoudani (blonde guy with family complex), and Yutaku (whiny red head who hates dressing as a girl). The art and music is Princess Princess isn't anything too spectacular, but it does its job.

There is one aspect of Princess Princess that has always bothered me though. It's the fact that all the main characters have COLORED hair, and ANY character that is minor is given black hair and almost no detail to the face. They probably did this to make the main characters stand out, but still....

Overall Princess Princess is an entertaining watch, but nothing too deep.

Story
The basic premise of the show is that a good looking guy transfers to a new school and is forced to dress like a good looking lady. This starts as the main focus through the first half of the series, then it starts looking at the past of two of the characters for the fianl half.

This show mainly focuses on the comedy involving a variety of techniques to get a laugh out of the audience, from caricatures/deformed versions of the charecters to fourth wall breaking, which worked well. There is a little bit of drama but not a lot and only very tiny hints at ... any shounen-ai.

The art was nice, nothing to go nuts or rave about, the princesses dresses were well designed and you can tell quite a bit focused on that, but the character designs were typical of a shoujo anime, everyone was good looking and very 'pretty'.

Sound was likable but forgettable, the opening was pleasing as was the ending.

You'll most likely enjoy all the characters, non of them were hateable and had there own perks, i could not even bring myself to dislike the minor/temporary antagonists.


Overall 9/10
I would defiantly recommend this if your looking for a good comedy with a fairly unique premise, theres enough shounen-ai to make fans of the genre happy but not enough of it for non fans to dislike this show.

This anime is mostly made for promoting the manga, but it has some good sides and doesn't look too much like seasonal slice of life show. 12 episodes containing material of 5 volume manga means that lots of things got cut or shortened, yet the show managed to remain decent.
The first 6 episodes (without episode 5) are fairly well made, they had nice pace and showed building of relations between the characters. I would say episodes 4 and 6 are very well made - including drama and comedy wrapped up in such nice episodes. Episode 4 may be my favourite slice of life episode, it ... has a very good structure and development (comedy and drama parts are well mixed up, there are deep conversations and a story about Yuujirou's past), it's very enjoyable to watch it anytime.
The last 6 episodes fall from good to mediocre, contain more generic attributes and many parts were shortened or simply cut out, which made the story development look very forced, which made the ending look pretty awful.
It's understandable that it's impossible to show much of story and character development in 12 episodes, though the anime managed to recreate the manga atmosphere for some time. Large part of the anime were gags and even the manga author was puzzled that many people liked Princess Princess only because of the gags.
If you enjoyed the anime, go for manga. It contains much more content, character development and a proper ending.

One word for it is: UNIQUE. Yes, there are already lots of anime out there where cross dressing is normal and such. But this anime, has a great story line revolving around the 3 princesses and their surroundings. As I'm a fan of shounen-ai, I liked the fact that each boy had a strong sense of friendship. Also, even with the dramatic plot and different course of events, the story provides a lot of comedic relief that enlightens the viewers. Lastly, even if this is entirely impossible to happen in the real world, but who cares since we're free to use our imagination anyways. I ... gave this anime an overall of 9 because I really did like the anime but there were times when you would just want a different outcome (shounen-ai fangirl over here). I would recommend this for anyone but maybe not to an overly prideful person who does not appreciate imaginations that run off wildly =))

Going into watching this anime, I wasn't really expecting much. I didn't expect to be so entralled by this show, thats for sure. It's made its way into my favorites.

================
~Story~

The story starts off a little slow, and as the episodes go on you learn more and more about the main characters. I gave the story a 9 only because it was simple to follow and very enjoyable.

================
~Art~

... The drawing for this anime... was spectacular. I mean it. There's not much to explain as to why I gave it a 10. It was amazing.

================
~Sound~

I gave the sound for this anime a 7 only because it would have been nice to have more background noise in some of the more intense, heart-wrenching scenes. Very well done, though.

================
~Characters~

The four main characters were done very well. I give the characters a 10. The three "Princesses" all had very different pasts and different personalities which made it even more enjoyable. Sakamoto Akira also had a very intriguing past and family, and it fit in well with the storyline. The student council was very well done too, although I would have liked to know more about them.

================
~Enjoyment~

I really enjoyed watching this anime. I gave enjoyment a 10 because this anime had me smiling like a crazy person at times and it also had me wanting to see what was going to happen next.

================
~Overall~

Overall, I rate this anime a 9. I really enjoyed watching it and I will probably watch it again eventually.

God, i saw this anime in the recommendations of another animes recommendations list. The memories hit hard. I genuinely thought this whole show was just a fever dream, and honestly thats how it feels like to watch it. Its got a lot of awkward pauses and silence.
The art is typical low budget 2010s anime. Acceptable but not good.

I like it for the fact that i love femboys and the whole premise is that a couple of dudes get dressed up as girls in an all-boys school for the biz

..and get harrassed for it. Harrassed, not in the homophobic way, but in the catcalling way. ... Talk about walking a mile in womens shoes.
TW:
Most BL/Gaybaitey/Yaoi stories have some sort of harrassment/non-con/dub-con/sexual assault subplot. I think at this point its a given in the genre and thats why most shows like these leave a sour taste in my mouth. so yeah.


I still think this is a classic in the genre. Something about its atmosphere and weirdness stops me from straight up hating it. Check it out if u like niche BL classics

Princess Princess is a great shoujo anime that is comedic and for those fangirls out there, includes cosplay/crossdressing. At the elite all boys school, all the guys find it hard to find the drive to do their best and be a, well, elite school. So, as a long standing tradition, the students elect "Princesses". "Princesses" are first year guys who are voted by their classmates and the rest of the school to be very beautiful guys, and are forced to wear girls outfits, along with wigs and makeup, and give the other guys at the school the enthusiasm to try their best. The Princesses go ... to sport and club practices, along with matches, to cheer them all on. But being a Princess isn't actually all that bad. Princesses get benefits above the other students, who actually don't mind the difference at all because they are all having their own fantasies about the Princesses, who are treated as girls for their whole first year of high school. This story surrounds the current Princesses of the school and tell their stories of being Princesses. I personally rate it as an overall 9/10 and hope you all watch this amazing anime.

This one reminds me more of Ouran than anything else, but it's slower and less humorous. However, it's still a cute little romp through an all-boys' high school where the good-looking guys are put into this special princess program. The guys in this program have fairly high status and dress up as girls to add beauty to the all-boys high school.

Okay, so the premise is awkward, but the thing with this anime is that it recognizes how weird the premise is and basically deals with each character's feelings on the subject.

Our blue-haired main character, Toru, will totally steal your heart, as will his best friends, ... Yuujiro and Mikoto, though I was shipping Toru/Akira. Anyway, not the best writing, but it's short and sweet.

this is not yaoi. im not an fan of yaoi. i watch shows like akane iro ni somaru saka and play h games. but his caught my attention. so i watched it. it was great. there isnt really yaoi except for those few moments of fan service that dont really develop after its done. the cross dressing was a funny comedic part to this. oh and dont let the picture on the site con u into watching this. the picture coned me into wathcing this. i was mad they didnt look like the very feminie pictures but still satisfied with it. i didnt stop watching ... for some reason!! 8 overall.
