Mizuho eventually meets two younger girls, Yukari and Kana, whom she and Mariya must mentor. He also meets an old rival of Mariya's — the traditional Takako. Mizuho's journey is filled with many obstacles including using feminine language, adhering to feminine behaviors and even competing in an election to school office.

Not perfect, but not bad either. Interesting concept, but I felt it had a bit more potential. Overall it was quite cute, funny and relaxing.

This series has good comedy, characters and executes the concept well. Put all of these combined and you get a decent Gender Bender!

They didn't portray the the guy well enough. He was too girly. I don't mean his appearance, but his attitude even when he is alone.There is no tension in his relationships with the girls. This felt more like a shoujo ai than harem.

An interesting harem anime. Interesting and funny. If you like typical shoujo ai anime (that is "oneesama" and catholic all-girl school stuff), this is an anime for you, of course, with the slight difference that there is a nice trap in the mix.

In comparison with MariaHolic this one is really good. Probably with more ecchi and comedy it would be must see, but it deserves only +decent mark as it is now :) Anyway You can try.. At least I don't regret watching it.

A problem is solved in one episode with some decent plots. Solid romance plot in late episode. Nice anime, worth watching. I gave 10/10.

episode appearance
appears in ep: 1-12, S1
male, bloodtype: A, , brown eyesThe character has brown eyes., hair antennaeHair antennae are two, or sometimes more, strands of hair that stick up from the top of the head and curve forward like antennae. Not to be confused with ahoge ("idiot hair"), which only has one strand and is commonly associated with idiots., harem leadHarem is a genre/plot frame that is mostly present in the media of Anime, Manga, Light Novels, Visual Novels, and Video Games. It usually involves at least three or more females who for some reason are in the presence of one male as a central plot element.
Said male is usually oblivious to the fact that the surrounding females are romantically interested in him., school uniformA type of uniform worn in Japanese schools (called "seifuku" in Japanese), generally high school age or younger. They can vary considerably; commonly, females will wear a sailor uniform (modelled off the British Royal Navy uniforms in 1920) and males will often wear a "gakuran", which is a dark button-up uniform modelled off Prussian army uniforms. But expect to see a substantial amount of variety., studentA student or pupil is a learner, or someone who attends an educational institution. The may be understood to mean only those enrolled in some sort of educational institution, but, in its widest use, it applies to anyone who is learning, including mid-career adults who are taking vocational education or returning to university, or younger researchers or artists learning from a more experienced colleague and mentor., trapA trap is a plot device where a male character is mistaken for a female, with the intention of sexually deceiving other characters and/or the viewer. This behavior does not need to be intentional by the male (it is often not intentional) or continually maintained by the male, but the occurrence is common enough to deserve this fetish-specific tag., very long hairVery long hair is hair from (and including) waist-length hair or longer., yellow hairThe character has yellow hair. This does not map precisely to real-life blond hair.

In older anthropomorphic series, where the gender of characters was sometimes hard to tell at first glance, ribbon bows were used to indicate a female character., long hairLong hair is hair from (but not including) shoulder-length, up to (but not including) waist length hair. Sidelocks do NOT count as long hair., orange hairThe character has orange hair., ribbon tieA ribbon tie is a ribbon used to tie the collar of a shirt, blouse, or other clothing top. This means that the ribbon, with or without a bow loop, is tying a collar that is cut close to the neck (i.e. not a low-cut collar); otherwise, the ribbon is just a common case of ribbons on clothes. Please see the full description for more detailed instructions on when to apply or not apply this tag., school uniformA type of uniform worn in Japanese schools (called "seifuku" in Japanese), generally high school age or younger.

female, bloodtype: AB, , glassesGlasses (also called eyeglasses or spectacles) are frames bearing lenses worn in front of the eyes, normally for vision correction, eye protection, or for protection from UV rays. For practical tagging purposes, sunglasses should not be considered glasses; the "glasses" tag is specifically about the type that doesn`t block light. However, a character who wears prescription glasses with dark lenses or who wears both eyewear types should take both tags., hair antennaeHair antennae are two, or sometimes more, strands of hair that stick up from the top of the head and curve forward like antennae.

Skirts are often seen as garments for women, but exceptions exist. In anime, they`re almost always worn by women, generally as school uniform or workplace garments, and a man with one will likely be cross-dressing. Skirts that go below the knee are usually associated with strict rules and at times with winter, though even in winter anime schoolgirls in miniskirts can be found., teacherA teacher is a person who helps people to learn. A teacher often works in a classroom. There are many different kinds of teachers. Some teachers teach young children in schools called elementary or primary schools. Others teach older children in middle, junior high and high schools. Some teachers teach adults in more advanced schools.
