Kinjirou Sakamachi is a highschool student with an abnormal fear of female that causes him to nosebleed and, in extreme cases, pass out , when he comes in contact with girls. While keeping this a secret, rumor began to spread that he is a homosexual because he always runs away from girls and keeps a close relationship with the others boys at school (teh!... thats not what homosexual boys do). One day he accidentally steps into the toilet stall with Konoe Subaru, a butler famous throughout the school, and discovers that he is actually a girl. He is then persuaded by the sadistic mistress Kanade Suzutsuki (man, that name is hard to say at first) to keep Konoe's secret. Kinjirou's life of peace is then shattered as he enters a seemingly friendly love triangle with the two as well as the affection of various other girls from the school.
A light comedy story derived from your typical "girl disguises herself as a boy at school for a special someone" cliche with some twists of romance. One may be confused with the character of Kanade as she is caring and warm, as she is cunning and sadistic (a ball gag on Konoe? she's your childhood friend for Christ's sake). And the girls seem to mistake Kinjirou's aloof behavior towards women as a valiant gesture to protect their chastity and stuff... like to show that he cares for their well being. Teh, ... don't get me wrong, Kinjirou is still an all around good guy.
This has a good animation production and character design, but I fell as though some character development are rushed so you care about those characters, relying on the viewers adaptation to anime cliches to set them in.
There are a lot of funny (and giggly) moments within the series, but what got me the most is that few seconds where some of the girls dressed up as characters from other series of the publisher "Media Factory". Being a fan of "Kampfer" and... okaaaay, I kinda like "Aria the Scarlet Ammo", that scene really stuck to me.
