Whether the Girl Prince is an actual prince, a girl who wants to be a prince, a cross-dresser who is fully invested in being a woman, or simply the boyish star of the school, as we read Yuri manga, the girl prince and the polished suit-wearing otokoyaku are fixtures. The role allows us to understand and express our feminine and masculine ideals. We can play the Prince and still get the Princess for our efforts.
— Erica Friedman, "The Evolution of the Girl Prince"
