Hi!

The search function is not working. :( Anyway I'm looking for anime and manga with Traps in them. Preferably the Trap is one of the main characters and the story revolves around them. I'm not picky with the genre, but bonus points if they cause same-sex tensions. ;) Reverse traps are welcome too. :P


Anime Examples:
(main)
- Otome Boku Koishiteru
- Kasimasi
- Ouran High School Host Club

(side)
- Happiness!
- Minami-ke
- Lovely Complex
- H20

(one-shot gags)
- Comic Party Revolution
- Girls Bravo
- Genshiken 2
- Pokemon (James)

Manga Examples:
- No Bra

I think the perfect anime/manga for you would be Death Note. it keeps it realistic and has a supernatural notebook. the whole series are made of genius and complicated plots and counter plots. i love it!

I wonder if that's enough to catch Tomoyo Sakagami from Clannad. ;)

Lol@ Death Note with traps. That certainly would have been interesting..
My favorite trap of all time has to be Mako-chan from Minami-ke, but I see you've already got that listed. I know that in Ouran High School Host Club Haruhi's dad is kind of a trap ;D and there is one episode where all of the guys dress up as ladies. And of course the main character herself is thought to be a boy by everyone but the hosts. Also Kino from Kino no Tabi might be considered a trap. I personally thought she was a guy at first. There isn't a big emphasis on her gender and she comes across as fairly androgynous. Oh and Lovely Complex has a hilarious trap named Seiko-chan xD but its more of a side character type of thing so the trap-ness is not a big part of the show.

Ouran
- I saw the first episode when it first came out, haven't touched it every since. Maybe it's about time to marathon it... :)

Lovely Complex
- I've seen it too. It took me a while to remember Seiko-chan though. The manzai combi blew away all the other characters. :P *updated list*

Kino no Tabi
- Kino's a girl? That's news to me

Currently I'm reading Hourou Musuko

Light: WHAT!? Why is she not dying!? Her name is written right here in my deathnote!

*Looks at deathnote and sees the name Takada Kiyomi (高田 清美) written down*

Takada: *manly laughter* HAHAHAHAHA... Light! You've fallen for my trap! I'm actually a secret agent working for Near!

*Whips out the ID that reads Takada Seiichirou (高田 清一朗)*

Takada: You're under arrest! *proceeds to handcuff Light while he's puking all over the floor*

End.

You misunderstand the term "traps". Think more along the lines of crossdressing.
