Both of these mangas are about a girl who disguises herself as a guy for personal reasons. Both of the girls fall in love with a boy who does sports. They both have their funny moments and serious moments and they're both awesome.

if you enjoyed the gender-bending, dorm life genre  of hana kimi (or vice-versa); you'll surely love the other! both have sports as a theme (although one is more prominent than the other) and it's definitely SHOUJO!

these two mangas have practically the same essence, it's so hard not to compare each to the other!

while there may be some differences in their plot line, when it comes right down to it, both have a way of satisfying your inner Shoujo-seeking self!

Aimeka Aimeka says...

When I first read Girl got game i though 'Hana-kimi no. 2'.

The story is different, but the idea's resemble each other a lot. Both story's have a girl cross-dressing as a guy, being roommates with the guy she loves, and both girls like sports.

If you like one, you'll like the other, because it's the same idea but with another storyline and different characters.

theresabooty theresabooty says...

This has the concept of gender bender. During their time of gender bender, they run into strange conflicts. Within those conflicts, love is developed. It makes the manga more absorbing.

bunifu bunifu says...

Both about a girl dressing up as a guy and going to an all-boys school, although in Hana-Kimi she does it voluntarily and secretly and in Girl Got Game she's being forced to.

When it comes to gender bender these titles take the win!

Very funny, romantic and awkward moments in between but with a special twist! they both have the same objective, trying to get the person they love closer to them by any means possible even if it means dressing and acting like the opposite sex.

Boku ni Natta Watashi

Boku ni Natta Watashi

Welcome to Momoko's waking nightmare. Things were settled, they were! She was SUPPOSED to have gone to a normal school, made normal friends, and led a blissfully normal life. But the universe is just cruelly, irredeemably, monstrously unfair, so instead she found herself thrown out of home, stuck in an all-boys boarding school with a roommate she hates, cursed with a hideous haircut and wearing clothes which, to be frank, she wouldn't be seen dead in. And the only thing worse than her current situation is the one that she'll be in if anyone ever realizes that she is, in fact, a girl. Everything is wrong! Particularly the fact that, even though she's surrounded by amazingly gorgeous guys, her chances of romance are less than zero. But with life this complicated, something's bound to give - and so it does.

Both Girl got game and Boku ni Natta Watashi are about a female who is forced by their parents to dress up as guy and attend an all guy school.  In both of these mangas, the girls fall in love with their roommate, who helps them to keep thier gender a secret.  Even the main characters in these two series are really similar.

The central ideas are similar. Strong female protagonists, both have to pretend to be a boy, kind of low key turns into a reverse harem without it overpowering the main plot.

LaPhoenixNegra LaPhoenixNegra says...

They are both amazing mangas based with an athletic female as the main character. They stand out in their school even though their sports are male dominated. Neither read is boring even though both stories have aspects of romance in them it doesn't overwhelmingly take over the story.
