{{quote|''The prince dreams of becoming a princess...''}}
If you were looking for the trope, that's called [[Determinator]] now.
High school student Kiri Minase looks like a supermodel, often acts like a fairy tale prince, and is wildly popular with the local schoolgirls- several confess their love every week. Problem is, Kiri is a (straight) ''girl''. She hates having inherited her model dad's looks, and has tried all her life to become girlier (which hasn't worked too well). She only acts princely to girls who confess their love because she knows what [[All Love Is Unrequited|unrequited love]] is like and doesn't want to hurt them- otherwise, she acts like a normal teen girl.
She's in love with her neighbor, the effeminate Tohya Enishi, and has been ever since they were young. One day, Tohya decides he wants to become a male model with Kiri's mother's agency. In order to stay close to him, Kiri decides to become a model, too... But there's a catch. Her mother will only hire her as a ''male'' model, going by the alias "Tatsuki."
And then, people start falling in love with Kiri, Tatsuki, or sometimes both at once... Drama, romance, and of course, much [[Hilarity Ensues]].▼

Spanning 13 volumes, it's a [[Better Than It Sounds|quite good]] addition to the family of [[Gender Bender|Gender]] [[Cross Dresser|Blender]] anime and manga series. Pity that only 8 volumes have been translated.▼

{{tropelist}}
* [[Ascended Fanboy]]: Yuki, the freelance photographer
* [[Attractive Bent Gender]]: Possibly justified, as Kiri looks like a [[Bishounen]] whether she's crossdressing or not, thanks to genetics.
Line 27:
* [[Cute Shotaro Boy]]: Riku
* [[Determinator]]: In a series called "''Never Give Up''," you'd expect at least one. As the series progresses, Kiri gains more and more confidence until she becomes a full-blown [[Determinator]].
* [[Driven to Suicide]]: Kiri threatens to leap off the roof of her school whenever she has a nasty realization, and Natsu yanks her back. Played for comedy.
* [[Dropped a Bridget On Him]]: Kiri is required to do this regularly to her female classmates.
* [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]]: Tohya, frequently lampshaded, mostly by Natsu.
Line 44:
* [[Secret Keeper]]: Kiri's mother, Tohya, and Natsu
* [[Sugar and Ice Personality]]: Tohya is a male example. Natsu is also a bit like this.
* [[Sweet
* [[Sweet Polly Oliver]]: Kiri/Tatsuki
* [[Yamato Nadeshiko]]: Kiri envies Natsu, her short, long-haired best friend. (Her personality isn't very Nadeshiko-worthy, though...)
