Hasukawa Kazuya has absolutely no luck. The woman he loves has just married his older brother, and in order to avoid the lovey dovey couple, Hasukawa decides to enter the dorm of a prestigious high school. However this dorm, named Greenwood , seems to be home to the school's strangest students and thanks to Hasukawa's bad luck he ends up as the roommate and neighbor of the three strangest students of all! It seems Hasukawa's dreams of a quiet life are all but doomed as he gets swept up in the antics of Greenwood 's residents!
Hana-Kimi and Here is Greenwood both have set-ups and eccentric casts of characters. Greenwood's storytelling has a more contemplative touch: The humor is often more subtle and the "romantic" bits are less squealy than those in Hana-Kimi. Both series have well-developed characters and (to my eye at least) solid artwork.
Hana Kimi and Idol Shopping are very similar because the two main girls go in to an all boy school pretending to be a boy and is later found out by someone and the plot also have two boys liking her. I love both mangas very much and I really recommend people to read it
Since nobody else has made any reccomendations, i thought i should... the girls in both of these manga must hide there true identity, even though Hana Kimi has a much lighter feel to it, Love in the Mask is also a really good manga, definetly more mature though.... i highly recommend them both, i cant wait to find out what happens next in Love in the Mask!
Asuka Masamune is a manly man who's the complete opposite deep down - he loves sewing, cooking and all things girly! As his father left when he was a child to live as a woman, Asuka was raised to be the boy he is, but he can't forget his true nature. Now, as a teen, Asuka finds himself in the company of Ryou, a boyish girl he's fallen head over heels for; Juuta, a secret writer of shoujo manga who's modeled a character after Asuka; and a variety of others such as his self-proclaimed apprentice Yamato. Can Asuka learn how to balance his two sides and finally get the girl he loves?
Both series have the "gender bender" theme, albeit presented in different ways. Also, both are romantic comedies with school and slice of life themes.
