This was one of the first shoujo-ai animes I watched, so it is kinda special for me. It starts as a gender-bender and leads into a shoujo-ai anime, mixing aliens, romance and yes, like many have mentioned, a dose of angst and also of comedy. The animation and vibe is pure 2000's. You have versatile Ueda Kana onboard as the protagonist. She was very cute in this one, then badass in the Fate franchise as Toosaka Rin. How does she do it? I don't know. But it is truly awesome.
Anyway, back to Kashimashi. There is a little detail, that others have already mentioned, and I will mention it again. To be creative, Episode 13 is like the OVAs for Kimi ga Nozomu Eien: it represents an alternative route which may be pretty venomous if you liked the series. So, if you want to avoid frustration (and heartache if you are passionate), you know what you have to do. Don't say the other recommenders and I didn't warn you...
Overall, a good 2000's shoujo ai anime. Highly recommended.

MC has all (and only) the negative qualities of both female and male romance anime protagonists. One of the love interests has a cognitive disorder which temporarily turns her into a lesbian as she seeks salvation from an illness that is easily treatable through therapy. The other love interest is a girl who is somewhat confused with her feelings at first but then pursues them earnestly and faithfully despite me being unable to understand what she sees in MC.
Otherwise, it has a wonderful 2000s feel to it, like it captures the spirit of the period perfectly. It's pretty fun despite the main characters and is overall a relaxing watch (even though there's a lot of angst).

There is quite simply very little else like this I've found and what little there is simply isn't quite as good or is outright terrible. If you want a good gender-bender romantic comedy start here or end here, but watch it either way. And if someone can name me something to watch where the MC takes on a different gender similar to how this anime does it, please let me know immediately.

A nice and sweet "Gender Bender". Worthwhile watch for the Shoujo Ai and entertaining characters and premise. However, be warned the last Episode kind of kills what would have been a nice climax to the story!

My favourite romance. Probably the best shoujo-ai out there.

The story might be a bit simple, but the series is actually pretty funny and cute. Too bad however, that in ep 13, they kinda kill the whole story...

main character
female, , androphobiaAndrophobia is an abnormal fear of males. It is entirely different from and should not be confused with misandry, which is the hatred or profound dislike of males., dependentno description set, drill hairAn easy way to tell if a female character in Japanese media is of high social standing is to not look for a crown or an Ermine Cape, but to look at the front of her head. Specifically, look for two long, curled locks of hair, framing the face. If she has them, she either is high class or acts like it.
Needless to say, this is pretty much mandatory for the Ojou. Some Elegant Gothic Lolitas also sport this hairstyle., humanModern humans are the only extant members of the subtribe Hominina. Together with chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans, they are part of the family Hominidae. Terrestrial animals, humans are characterized by their erect posture and bipedal locomotion; high manual dexterity and heavy tool use compared to other animals; open-ended and complex language use compared to other animal communications; larger, more complex brains than other animals; and highly advanced and organized societies., isolophobiaIsolophobia is the fear of solitude, or being alone. This fear can make you stay in situations that are unhealthy both mentally and physically., 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., yamato nadeshikoThe ideal Japanese woman.
Yamato Nadeshiko is referred to by Japanese as a woman with attributes that were considered traditionally desirable from the perspective of a male dominated society; generally ascribed to people with traditional upbringings. It is an extremely broad, but complicated Japanese aesthetic concept. Virtues include: loyalty, domestic ability, wisdom, and humility.

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.
