Never Give Up: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

''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]].

This series provides examples of:

* [[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.
