Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: Difference between revisions

* A non-romantic example ({{spoiler|not counting Aoi's one-sided crush on her}}) is Misaki and Aoi from ''[[Kaichou wa Maid-sama]]''.

* Andre and Oscar from ''[[Rose of Versailles]]''. Perhaps not a textbook example, since Andre is not tremendously effeminate. But Andre is the more sensitive and people oriented one, while Oscar is very direct and more goal oriented. Oscar is referred to as the "light", and Andre as the "shadow".

* ''[[Chotto Edo Made]]'' pairs a [[Bifauxnen]] swordswoman with a feminine [[Long-Haired Pretty Boy]].

* ''[[Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu]]'' with the identical twins Yuuko (masculine girl) and Hideyoshi (feminine boy) Kinoshita. While Yuuko is typically feminine in traits (such as being good at cooking), her personality fit this trope because of her aggressive, prideful, arrogant, quick-to-anger, and competitive behavior. Hideyoshi on the other hand is calm, helpful, and supportive. Ironically, he is also much more popular than Yuuko, much to her dismay, because of [[Attractive Bent Gender|his]] [[Dude Looks Like a Lady|looks]].

* ''[[Hayate the Combat Butler]]'' has the title's [[Battle Butler|Hayate Ayasaki]] being quite feminine and being domestic enough to make women around him feel as if their femininity is challenged and has so far attracted at least one guy who was completely straight before (and fell in love when he thought Hayate was a woman only to later decide it didn't matter). {{spoiler|He does, however, possess some masculine traits, such as his strength and skill at swords and firearms}}. Matching him is the pink-haired swordswoman [[Student Council President|Hinagiku Katsura]] who is intelligent, highly athletic, and cooler than any guy at school...making her the idol of the school and attracting both guys and girls alike, and possibly the manliest character in the whole series. {{spoiler|However, telling her that she can't do something that would be called girly (cooking, housework, etc.) and/or her chest isn't feminine (at least two times) (i.e. she is flat-chested), or just groping it just once [[Berserk Button|would make her rage]].}} However, each is a bit of a blend in traits, with Hayate trying to be more blue to impress her and Hinagiku trying to be more pink to catch his interest.

* Sumire and Momo from ''[[Kimi wa Petto]]''. Sumire is an efficient, successful journalist who watches pro wrestling and [[Sentai]] anime in her spare time and is a martial arts master on the side, while Momo is a modern dancer who is fairly emotional and doesn't mind taking on the role of Sumire's pet.

* ''[[Haikara-san ga Tooru|Haikara San ga Tooru]]'' has [[The Ladette]] Benio in ''two'' of these. A non-romantic version with her best male friend Ranmaru (a very feminine-looking boy who's a member of a ''kabuki'' troupe—who as much is put in the [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]] role), and a more romantic one with her [[Perfectly Arranged Marriage|arranged boyfriend]] Shinobu Iijyuin (who, like the aforementioned Andre Grandier, isn't that girly but is still more patient and sensitive than she is.)

* Lelouch with Kallen and C.C. of ''[[Code Geass]]'' [[Ship Tease|a non-romantic example (Maybe).]] Lelouch is [[Badass]] but [[The Chessmaster|his forte]] [[Squishy Wizard|is strategy]] and Kallen (the [[Ace Pilot]] [[Action Girl]]) and C.C. ( {{spoiler|the immortal witch}}) protect him.

* Haruka and Kotake from ''Himitsu Kirai''. She's a boyish [[Bifauxnen]] who practices judo and he's a feminine guy who likes cooking and sewing.

 

* Possibly Redlance and Nightfall from ''[[Elf Quest]]'', although the elves don't quite go for the same kind of gender stereotyping that humans do. More to the point, the siblings Suntop and Ember. When trying to get a studio to do an animated version of the comic, [[Executive Meddling]] said that you can't have a calm guy and a tomboyish girl, and this is one of the reasons the author quickly abandoned that studio.

* Mister Miracle (escape artist and acrobat from New Genesis) and Big Barda (renegade Apokaliptian gladiator) are in many ways a [[Happily Married]] version of this.
