One of, if not the first, manga I ever read was a gender bender by the name of Ranma 1/2. I completed the whole thing and was disappointed by the anticlimactic ending. I moved on to reading more action stuff but not too long ago I went through a phase of searching for good gender bender manga. I went through a lot of silly, repetitive, and too ecchi stories, but i did find some good stuff. Hourou Musuko, Ouran High School Host Club, 1/2 Prince, and Boy of the Female Wolf are stories i'm still interested in. Gender bender's usually use the gender swapping for played out jokes or sexual situations, leading most to be too cheesy or pervy. Even some of the gender bender's I like are guilty of this. Now that I think about it, most if not all genre's have similar problems. I guess I will just always have to sift through the garbage to get to the good stuff.
