Hello,

I'm searching for works similar to Kimi no Neiro or Shōnen Princess.

By this I mean a romance between an Otokonoko (also called "trap") and an Otokoyaku (also called "reverse trap"). And because I don't think it is a common trope, I'm open to a romance between an handsome (manly) girl and an cute (girly) guy, which is pretty similar.

I don't care about the format (manga, anime, or even live-action if that exists), I don't care either for the demographic, the age of the work, if it's a comedy/drama/tragedy…
And if obviously I'm looking for romance works, I don't mind "hybrid" works, like action/romance, as long there is enough romantic developments during the story, I'm fine.


There is only two things that I don't want:
- No porn. I don't mind if there is some sex-scenes during the story, but sex-focused works is a no-no.
- I don't want an "hetero-normative ending". By this I don't want to see the girl ends up girly and/or the guy ends up manly. I read some manga where an Otokonoko ends up as an handsome guy, it's a pretty insulting ending. I'm only speaking about the ending, things like Utena where the guys are trying to transform Utena into a "princess" but ultimately fail is totally fine by me.


Thanks.

Ai wo Utau yori Ore ni Oborero and its sequels may be what you're looking for.

Wandering Son

... and not much else.

I have a bunch of recs for things like Utena where although it subverts the cishet norm, there's only either a female or a male cross-dressing, not both. Or things like Rose of Versailles where everyone is fabulous as fuck, where gender is too weak a concept to stand in the way of glorious 70's shoujo eye-twinkling and hair sparkles.

I've begin to read the first volume, and yes, that's the kind of works that I want.

Thank you!

I already watched the anime version of Wandering Son since a pretty long time now. It's not really what I want; it's more a coming of age story for trans' characters.

But, the cross-dressing part isn't obligatory, it's just a big bonus for me because… I like cross-dressers. ^^
But what I want is more a reversal of the heterosexual norm, either from a visual perspective, a behaviour perspective, or both.

For example a strong and dominant girl and a weak and submissive guy, even if they looks like their gender, is also in my criteria, like this cover:



For Rose of Versailles, it's on my plan to watch list since a long time now, because I heard it's one of the earliest subtext yuri works, even if the main romance is an heterosexual one.
Is it really a "gender fucking" story that much? Because if that's the case, I could prioritize it. ^^

Hmmmmmm... I see I see. There's one couple in Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun which kinda fits what you're looking for, but that's about all I can think of though.

I think the main character's personal story arc is definitely a gender fucking one, but it's also a story about the French Revolution so there's a lot of court intrigue, politicking, and power struggle themes that are more prevalent overall.
