Click the title to read. 8)

Here are some other recommendations you should check:

After School Nightmare excl.gif

QUOTE
Like most teenagers, Mashiro Ichijo has a secret. But Mashiro's secret is that he's neither fully male nor female! So far, Mashiro's been able to live his life as a boy, but all this changes when he's informed of a new class he must take in order to graduate from his elite prep school. To pass, he must find the Key, and the only way to find it is to enter into a nightmare world where his body and soul are put at the mercy of the worst kind of enemies--his classmates!



Pretty Face excl.gif

QUOTE
Rando Masashi, a self-centered, brash karate star, was the victim of a horrific bus accident that left him comatose, his face terribly disfigured by extensive burns. Genius plastic surgeon Dr. Manabe saved Rando's life and went to work on his face, gradually reconstructing it based on a photograph found in the wreckage of the bus. When Rando wakes up from his coma, a year has passed, and Dr. Manabe has made remarkable progress. But in a cruel twist of fate, the photo that the doctor used as his reference was not a picture of Rando, but of Rina Kurimi, the girl whom Rando has a crush on!

^this manga made me LOLOLOL soo much

Girl Got Game/Power

QUOTE
Kyo Aizawa is very excited about getting to attend Seisyu Academy, which is famous for its adorable girls' uniforms. Her spirits are crushed, however, when she opens the package containing her school uniform to find a boy's uniform.
Her father explains to her that, as Seisyu Academy is also famous for its boys' basketball program, he enrolled her as a boy so she can fulfill his own dream of becoming an NBA basketball star. To make matters worse, she has to stay in the boys' dorms, and her roommate is the same boy she came to hate at tryouts.


Ingenuo

QUOTE
Ding Jiayu dreams of being a photographer. Her idol is none other than Yung Jo. When Yung Jo’s photography company holds an audition to find a new photographer, Jiayu decides to take a chance. The thing is, Yung Jo’s company doesn’t hire women, so Jiayu has no choice but to dress up as man and enter. Yung Jo takes great interest in Jiayu's talent and makes her his apprentice. It may seem like a dream to work with your idol, but for Jiayu, it's nothing of the sort. She takes a beating from Yung Jo everyday, and since all the crew members think she is a guy…


Mint na Bokura

QUOTE
Noeru has a close connection to his twin sister, Maria. When Noeru learns Maria's gone to a boarding school to be near her first love, he goes after her to stop it. The only problem is that the school has only one bed left, for a girl student. Disguised as a girl, Noeru attempts to bring his sister home. In the process, love is found, lost, and found again for both of them.


My Barbaric Girlfriend/Your and My Secret excl.gif

QUOTE
Two teens see how the other half lives!

The girl: cute but obnoxious, pretty but violent, petite but rude.
The guy: shy and slender and secretly in love with the girl.

When her mad scientist grandfather accidentally switches their bodies--it's freaky Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and every day! Akira Uehara is mortified when his best buddy starts hitting on "him," and is embarrassed to look at "himself" in the mirror in her underwear! He can't wait to get back to being a boy. But Nanako Momoi has other ideas--she is starting to enjoy life in Akira's body!


W Juliet

QUOTE
Narita Makoto would like nothing more than to achieve his dream of becoming an actor, but his strict father decrees that Makoto is to inherit the family's dojo and will not be allowed to pursue his dream. Finaly, Makoto's father says that if Makoto can demonstrate his acting skills by getting through his last two years of highschool as a girl, he will be allowed to do whatever he wants. However, if anyone finds out, he must return home and bend to his father's will. Makoto agrees and leaves his current school to attend Sakuraga-Oka High School, where he joins the drama club and begins to live his life as a beautiful and enormously popular high school girl.


Nicoichi

QUOTE
This is a story about the love and hardships of a 29-year old guy named Makoto Suda. Makoto is an ordinary office worker in every sense but one: in front of Takashi, his stepchild, he has disguised himself as a woman and played the role of a beautiful mother. Leading this life of a “fatherless family”, for some reason he falls in love with a woman. One morning he happens to see her on a crowded train but…


Cheeky Angel

QUOTE
Megumi Amatsuka, a rough and tumble nine-year-old boy, always dreamt of becoming the "manliest man on earth." Upon receiving a book of magic from a sorcerer whom he saved from a group of local thugs, Megumi summons a genie in order to make a wish. But due to a sick twist of fate, the genie turns out to be an evil one, and Megumi winds up being the "womanliest woman on earth"! Six years later...Megumi is the most desirable girl in school, but deep within her hot-mama façade is the same trash-talkin', punk-stompin' boy.


Penguin Revolution

QUOTE
High school student Yukari Fujimaru knows a potential star when she sees one because she sees the special "aura" they give off, in the form of angelic wings. Yukari's fellow student, the beautiful and responsible student body vice president, Ryoko Katsuragi, has a small pair of wings herself, and is one of these aspiring talents. She's so talented, in fact, that no one even knows that "she" is actually a boy in disguise. Due to a series of events, Yukari has come to discover Ryoko, or rather, Ryou's secret, and is hired as a manager for Ryou by the president of the Peacock Talent Agency. Living together with the promising Ryou and his rather dashing room mate, Makoto Ayori, the number one star in Peacock who is also the lazy, ruffle-headed student body president, is bound to be an adventure! Now, to make her own down-to-earth dream come true Yukari must help her new friend become a star while doing her best to protect both her beloved room mates.

some of my favorite manga you've already mentioned-Angel Diary, 'Hana Kimi'; Ouran--and Ranma 1/2--and I loved W Juliet too. Here are some others I like:

Gatcha Gacha (Yutaka Tachibana)
Bring It On! (manhwa--Baek HyeKyung)
Tenshi ja Nai! (Takako Shigematsu )
Boy Princess (manhwa--Seyoung Kim)

Boy Princess is shonen ai/yaoi (opinions vary -.- ) Thought I should tell you in case you don't like those stories. There's also Kill Me, Kiss Me (Lee Young You)--which some people liked--and others hated. But you can read about all of them and decide for yourself. =D Tenshi ja nai, Bring It On! and Gatcha Gacha may not be considered actual gender-bender--but there are female characters who are mistaken for, or 'act more like' boys. Nothing unusual about tomboys. lol

I've heard about Penguin Revolution and Princess Princess, but haven't read either one yet.

Penguin Revolution is a MUST-READ!
lol. seriously, after reading it online, i decided to purchase all 6 books in one go (now im broke sleep.gif ) thinking i might not able to resist cliffhangers.
and GOSH! its true
im currently waiting for the last volume to come out sometime in march, (i think)
im ecstatic to own it!

i actually enjoyed this manga's idea of a girl disguising as a guy then has to disguise again as a girl too. LOOOOL! it wont actually make sense unless you read it laugh.gif

so i guess, this really makes my all time favourite gender bender manga. next on my list is POWER! cuz its gawdddarn hilarious. it still never fails to make me ROFL everytime i read it.

Maria Holic (mangafox)
QUOTE (synopsis)
This is a story about a high school girl, who is scared of boys, who enrolls in an all girls school, hoping to find a female romantic partner. However, her ideal candidate turns out to be a cross-dressing boy!


Only 4 translated chapters are available so far, but I love it and it's pretty hilarious.


1/2 Prince (onemanga)
QUOTE (synopsis)
It is the year 2100A.D., humans have developed a virtual reality game. Feng lan, due to a bet with her brother, vows to beat the game without using her "female benefits". Due to this, she becomes the first transvestite of "Second Life".


Also only a few chapters out, but I love the MMO concept. :] (and prince is just so hawt)


Gold Rush 21 (onemanga)
QUOTE (synopsis)
Due to some unusual circumstances, Yutaka, a popular university students, often called a miser, raised by his strong sister, is an acquaintance of Rika, the owner of a host club. And then he meets Ritsu, the number 1 host at that club, and Kirishima, a lawyer who’s also a customer who adores Ritsu…?!


A nice 3-shot. The art is lovely, although the transvestite owner guy kinda creeps me out.

Just finished reading After School Nightmare.

It was fantastic, I gave up 4 hours of exam study time in order to finish reading the last 4 volumes. @_@ TOTALLY WORTH IT, THOUGH.

Ahhh, I loved it.

Knight Princess

QUOTE
Yashi has wandered with her father for fourteen years, and only now has she discovered that her own mother is actually Bocinia’s current queen. To see her mother, from whom she was separated when she was just an infant, she and her father enter the palace, but she never thought she would accidentally run into the Princess of Bocinia, and then become her bodyguard by mistake...


Gacha Gacha

QUOTE
Yuri and Motoka are friends, but Motoka isn't exactly a girl you should be messing with. Yuri later falls in love with Yabe, a player. However when she declares her love for him, he sais he'll only date Motoka. Motoka acts like she doesn't want anything to do with Yabe but....is that her real feelings?
But Yuri isn't going to give up on Yabe...and Motoka and Yabe seem like they went through a bad past with each other.
But wat is it?


Tenshi Ja Nai!

QUOTE
In the play of life, all Hikaru Takabayashi wanted was to be part of the scenery. Tormented by jealous schoolmates ever since she appeared in a famous commercial in grade-school, Hikaru transfers to a prestigious all-girls' academy where she hopes to settle down to a quiet life of anonymity. But when her new roommate turns out to be the super-popular TV idol Izumi Kido, Hikaru finds herself thrown smack in the spotlight's glare once more!

And as if living with a celebrity wasn’t bad enough, Hikaru discovers that there’s more to Izumi than her “good girl” image—she’s a he! And this is only the first of Izumi's many dangerous secrets! Now Hikaru’s the unwilling star player in a madcap tale of deception, abduction, humiliation and blackmail…you know—the usual romantic stuff.

Ai wo Utau Yori Ore ni Oborero!
"Blaue Rosen"




Summary I got from Manga Fox :
"Akira Shiraishi, a young high schooler with girlish features, joins Blaue Rozen, Mizuki Sakurazaka's band.
Their high school life is anything but typical: Mizuki is the prince of her all-girl school while Akira is the princess of the neighboring all-boy school. How will their relationship progress while others try to get back their prince/princess?"


Basically the boy looks like a girl, the girl looks like a guy, I recommend it, its soo good! <3

Vanilla Ice
by: Kim Woo Hyun



QUOTE
Beautiful, delicate Yoon Sul and tall, brawny Taehee are exact opposites, and yet somehow they can't escape each other! And now with the addition of the popular student representative, Sijun, being interested in Taehee, how will Yoon Sul react?! Action-packed romantic comedy with a twist!

I'm not a big fan of this genre... mainly because it's like, a TEASE!
I did enjoy reading a few of the titles mentioned though.

I have to add another one--it's a little different than boy posing as girl/ girl posing as boy (full-time)-- it's Vampire Doll Guilt na Zan, by Erika Kari. I knew I was going to love it with the first few words in the character descriptions in vol. 1--and I hadn't even started reading the actual manga yet. =p
