Line 5:
While looking at the results of his high school entrance exam, Maki has a fated encounter with a cute girl. To his horror, the "girl" -- Aikawa Kizuna -- happily announces that he's a ''guy'' during their class introductions. Aikawa mercilessly teases Maki thereafter about his ambiguous gender -- which aside from Aikawa's own claims [[Ambiguous Gender|isn't definitively proven]] -- and an [[Dropped a Bridget On Him|awkward relationship]] is formed.
 
''[[Prunus Girl]]'' is an ongoing [[Shounen]] manga series by Tomoki Matsumoto, with four volumes out so far.{{when}} An example of [[Otokonoko Genre]].

{{tropelist}}
* [[The Ace]] --: Maki's a real winner at everything: sports, grades, girls... you name it!
** As long as it's not Aikawa [[Mind Screw|Mind Screwing]] him with his [[Recursive Crossdressing|visually]] [[Ambiguous Gender|ambiguous]] gender, of course.
* [[Absurdly Powerful Student Council]] --: The school's Director gives the Student Council free rein to do largely as it pleases provided it doesn't interfere with classes, because she believes the students ''are'' the school. Notable in that the Director apparently set it up that way personally {{spoiler|with Kandaka-sensei and Substitute Director Ranbashi when they were students}}.
* '''[[Ambiguous Gender]]''': Used ''mercilessly'' against Maki; Aikawa repeatedly admits to being male but makes for a very convincing girl.
{{quote|'''Aikawa:''' Am I a guy? Or a girl? Which do you think is true?
'''Maki:''' W-which? Well, a guy... No, you totally look like a girl, so...
Line 19:
*** The ambiguity rises to a meta level on this point because [http://www.batoto.com/read/_/191/prunus-girl_ch9_by_no-group/15 another translation]{{Dead link}} strongly implies what Maki "finally understands" is whether Aikawa wears boys' or girls' underwear, not anything conclusive about Aikawa's sex... So whether this particular [[The Un-Reveal|Unreveal]] even ''happened'' is up for debate.
** Aikawa does eventually show up at Maki's dorm room in a boy's uniform and removes the shirt, showing off a tank top and absolutely no curves. Of course, this proves nothing, but...
* [[Ambiguously Bi]] --: Yaotome. She has flirted with Maki, Aikawa and Shion. Maki couldn't tell if she was serious or not as she confessed to all of them with no changes to her facial expression or tone of voice. Further comments seem to support her bisexuality, but she really could be messing with everyone.
* [[Bedmate Reveal]] -- Maki wakes up one morning... only to find Aikawa lying right next to him.
* [[Boy Meets Girl]]/[[Meet Cute]] -- Parodied in Chapter 27 {{spoiler|with a crossdressing Maki and Kadoyama}}.
