Manga: Reversible School Life

After angering his father over an incident with a girl at school, Shuu Kaidou, a son of an electronic company's president is sent to all-boys school, St. Stokesia Academy. However upon arrival, he sees half the campus populated by cute girls, one of which he locks eyes with. But when he meets the principal, he is told by her that in order to help the academy's students understand relationships between men and women, for alternating weeks half of them dress up and live as girls.

And then the "girl" from earlier, Tsubaki Yaesaki shows up with carrying an extra girl's uniform and wig and is appointed Shuu's partner coordinator committee member. His job: make Shuu look cute.

A manga penned by Shuu Shirase and drawn by Suemitsu Dicca, Reversible School Life looks in antics and the relationships between Shuu, Tsu baki, Shuu's roomate Matsuyuki Touma and the class president Natsume Aoi as they deal with their dual lives in St. Stokesia.

Compare Princess Princess, only with everyone supplying the traps.

This manga provides examples of:

Attractive Bent Gender: Everyone
Berserk Button: Don't ever call Tsubaki a king.
Beware of the Nice Ones: Tsubaki
Bishōnen
Bishie Sparkle
Brutal Honesty: Matsuyuki dishes it out.
Cute Little Fangs: Matsuyuki
Expressive Hair: Shuu.
Idiot Hair: Shuu again.
Jumping the Gender Barrier: Discussed when Shuu, Natsume and Tsubaki see a couple making out and possibly going all the way.
Large Ham: The principal.
Mistaken for Gay: Natsume
No Sense of Personal Space: Matsuyuki
Screw the Rules, I Have Money!: Defied by the principal and averted by the allowance system she puts into place which forbids outside monetary help from the students parents and instead is determined by students grades. No pass, no cash.
Shonen Ai: Discussed and somewhat deconstructed.
Unsettling Gender Reveal: How Shuu meets Tsubaki and Matsuyuki
Witness Protection: An non-governmental version. The school is for students who are the sons of the rich or the influential (such as politicians) to avoid the media and other unwanted attention over the scandals of their parents or their own. Most students go under fake names, though Shuu overlooked that part on the application.
