| A scan from the upcoming issue of WAaI! magazine reveals that Norio Tsukudani's 4-koma genderbending manga series Himegoto will be receiving an anime adaption. Synopsis Hime Arikawa is a high-school boy with a huge debt, and he is saved by the girls of his school's student council after being chased down by yakuza debt collectors. The student council agrees to pay off his debt if he'll join the student council and spend his high-school life cross-dressing. (Source: MU) The manga series began publishing in November 2011 and has since had one volume released with the second volume being released April 2014.

| Dat premise. Mixed feelings on this. |
 |
| Sounds silly, but maybe I'll watch if it's funny and cute enough |
 |
| That really isn't a bad deal to get those debts erased. |

 |
| Well I dropped the manga, but I'll watch the anime. Please get male voice actor for male characters (before crossdressing). |

| Hmm VA for a cross-dresser....FukuJun? |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Crossdressing manga.... Why not No Bra. :/ Also 4koma. I dunno about that. |
| Sounds like a good show to get a cheap laugh from. I'll watch it. |
| I'll probably watch it out of curiosity. |

| Crossdresser?? I accept xD xchee said: Hmm VA for a cross-dresser....FukuJun? ^Lol this |
"Signature removed"   |
| Will at least try one episode. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| Sounds okay. It always amuses me when the reason for crossdressing seems so absurd. Hopefully the VA will be good. |
 |
| Will watch for the lolz |
 |
| I'd hit it ;) |
 |
| Looks like it will be an interesting short. xD |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| Not a fan of genderbending :/ Confuses my penis. |
| Sounds like a reverse Maria Holic, this should be fun. |

| Gonna watch. |
 |
| No wonder the debt collectors nearly got him, who in the world names their boy anything that means princess, it's asking for trouble. Anyone knows if yuri will be in this? If so, I'll give it a shot. |
 |
| gender bender? maybe it'll be pretty funny but honestly i don't swing that way and i really don't wanna watch gay anime (nothing against you gay guys out there) :/ |
| Domo domo! Kami desu :D |
| Trap? Will watch. |
 |
| It looks more like a ~5 minute series which probably is for the best. Xenoplas said: i really don't wanna watch gay anime Well I didn't want to watch Little Busters but such is life. |
| Crossdressing? No thanks. |
 |
| oh no CrossDressing!! |
| As I've been on a streak of gender-bender themed hentai manga reading recently, this comes as quite a welcomed surprise. mitch3315 said: This too.Trap? Will watch. parfaited said: Awww....now that's just mean.Xenoplas said: Well I didn't want to watch Little Busters but such is life.i really don't wanna watch gay anime |
 |
parfaited said: Xenoplas said: i really don't wanna watch gay anime Well I didn't want to watch Little Busters but such is life. Good one. |
| Soo I'm not sure what to say. |
| I have no problem with crossdressing anime or genderbending, but that premise sounds awful. I already hate the student council for apparently forcing him to do it for no apparent reason at all. Why not more anime like Wandering Son or Genshiden Nidaime where the guy does it because he wants to? |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| TRAPS SOON. |
 |
| Hmn not sure... Never really watched a genderbender anime lol.. Maybe ill give-it a try. |
| They released one volume after two years? How exactly do they want to make an anime out of this? Filler? |
 |
| I thought this was the BL manga where half the people in the all boys school had to crossdress for whatever reason, and I didn't like it but this is different, so I'll watch it. xchee said: Hmm VA for a cross-dresser....FukuJun? Yeah FukuJun sounds like a great seiyuu for the main character. |
| Looks good. The boy here look hotter than most females http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/manga/2/112533.jpg |
| sounds generic and stupid as fuck. genderbending is also fucking weird. |
 |
| The premise sounds episodic and dry. Hopefully 3 minute episodes? Actually, that's a foregone conclusion considering the fact it's only two volumes long and a 4-koma. thepath said: That's a guy in name only.Looks good. The boy here look hotter than most females http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/manga/2/112533.jpg Furthermore, she doesn't even look attractive, no distinctive nose, painstakingly large eyes, unrefined features, problems abound. |
 |
| The problem I have with this kind of series is that... the main character is not drawn to look like a guy cross dressing as a girl. The main character is drawn as a girl. That's it. They try to variate from the cute girls doing cute things but it's not going to be much different because of this fact. Unless they employ a male as the voice of the main character. That might change things. But if that's not the case he won't even be a guy anymore. This just bothers me to no end. If Arikawa maybe identified as a girl I wouldn't mind but he doesn't so??? Eh it's a pet peeve of mine. |
| Okay wow. This was definitely one of the last manga I would have expected to get an adaption but I'm definitely going to watch since I'm enjoying it and it's spinoffs. |

Is the "crossdressing" really useful and/or adds something of noteworthy to the story? And is this something that could've worked without the "crossdressing" part? Each characters dress like girls, talk like girls complete with cutesy tone, and do cutesy stuffs that you can easily find in every Kirara manga. What does then make it any different than your standard cute girls doing cute things? I just find it really lame when mangaka simply use crossdressing as gimmick and nothing else |
