* AmericansHateTingle: While the manga was successful enough to get picked up as an anime in Japan, a gender non-conforming romantic comedy would reliably alienate most potential audiences [[ValuesDissonance in the West]], and draw immense controversy besides -- which would be the reason why no version of the series has ever been released in America.
