Anime Special! - Princess Princess

Princess Princess is an older anime (from 2006), but still interesting to watch. It's a lot different from Gakuen Heaven which I was watching earlier. Although both stories are at all boys high schools the similarities end there. This story is about two and later three (when Tooru transferred in) first year guys who are half forced, half willing cosplaying as princesses at their school to keep the good moral for other students. Mikoto, Yuu and Tooru are not just princesses to other students, but also a high motivation in their school activites & are always swamped with some kind of cheering or events. Mikoto is always protesting against being a princess but the job has a lot of privileges so he keeps at it; he's also the only one that has a girlfriend LOL. To top it all off those three also have personal, family related problems they are going through. Princess Princess is a really fun, relaxing and occasionally emotional anime which you'll enjoy watching even though the story is a "bit" unusual.

Themes: bishounen, cross dressing, crossdressing, school, shounen-ai 

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 balks at first, but soon comes to realize the advantages of being a "Princess."
