    Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru

    Episode 1 by GNU-fansubs

    http://tracker.anirena.com/download.php?id=186

    Based on the shoujo-ai game by Caramel Box.

    The main character Mizuho is a nice guy who was born in a good family, smart, and moral. But one day, he has to transfer to a girl’s high school by his grandfather’s last will. Then, he has to disguise like a girl to go to the school…

    Taken from Animenfo.

    Well, boredom and curiousity won...
    Is anyone else watching this? I found it rather good, it didn't leave me laughing out or pausing, but it did make me smile and enjoy through the episodes; it got my interest and held it for 22 minutes.
    The story isn't the most unique, nor are the situations, it's definately very cliched, but the execution is very well done in my opinion. The ED is slightly addicting, I don't know why.
    The trick to watching something like this, I believe, is to turn off all drama/story sensors and pre-conceptions, start with almost zero expectations, and just accept things on face value, then it becomes very fun and enjoyable; why go out of your way to criticizing the plot and drama when it's obviously not the greatest in the world.
    I think people should give this a try; be warned though, there is a few, ok more than a few, "pseudo"-yuri-ness in the show (it's pseudo since Mizuho is a guy...)

    I have to admit, I'm kind of jealous of Mizuho's situation...

    Well, the story may be clicheed, but it seems like the writers are staying away from clichee dialogue. I was expecting them to milk the entire 'does she know he's a man' for another three episodes. You also have the fact that the main character isn't completely clueless, and is at least suspicious that his friend is using him for this whole Big Sister thing. So I've been pleasantly surprised so far. I can only hope there's enough story left to keep it moving along at this pace.

    Well, the "Elder" thing sounds right out of Strawberry Panic, which just ended, but overall I think I'm enjoying the series. When Mariya and Shion started claiming that Mizuho was doing terrible things to him, and promptly went into Chibi-Bighead form, it had me laughing.

    Likewise, I'm glad they got the "Does Shion think he's really is a he?" out of the way.

    It's an okay series, no Strawberry Panic, but I'm sure I'll keep watching it to the end.

    i agree with the last post. the first thing i thought of while i was watching this series was strawberry panic.

    I've just watched the first, and I just don't get why the premise for this entire situation is "Grandpa's will says so"

    Huh!?

    Sorry but I get stuck on things like these.

    Currently viewing and thinking to myself: "Damn, Mizuho's grandfather must've been some sort of sadist, or just plain queer."

    Although, Mizuho didn't strike me as too manly to begin with (with only that brief flashback to reference to), I can't imagine what effect all this'll have on his masculinity when it's all said and done. Guess he's lucky to have his two companions make rape and bondage jokes at his expense... keep him straight...

    I have no idea what Gramps was trying to accomplish either, but I'll bet you dollars to doughnuts it's got something to do with Mizuho's mother being dead.

    I don't mean to sound presumptuous but... is this being dropped or what? I really have no idea of the normal turnaround time for subs.

    I don't think it is being dropped and it will come out whenever they release it. GNU did not state what day or time they will release it at it will just come out when its ready. The GNU IRC channel says Otoboku 03 : TL so still probably translating and stuff.

    Thank the lord. I was dangerously close to doing productive things in my spare time.

    Oh man, that was teetering on edge of a dilemma for me - had GNU taken a long enough hiatus from this series, I would've had to start watching Aquastar's!

    Episode 4 by GNU

    Only watched 30 seconds so far; looks to be one of those "ghost hunting" episodes.
