Gender-Bending Manga or Anime?

Question

Can someone direct me to a few Japanese manga that feature CONSISTENT gender transgression? I don't want those with just one episode or two of a gender change, or those with cross-dressing- just ones where the character, say, has the power to change gender and does so, regularly.

It's for a project. I'd love it if you could give a brief description of the manga, too.

Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

The only one I can remember right now is Ranma ½

"Ranma ½ (らんま½, Ranma nibun-no-ichi?, "Ranma one-of-two-parts") is a comedy anime and manga by Rumiko Takahashi about a boy named Ranma Saotome who was trained from early childhood to age 16 in the martial arts, and who becomes a girl when splashed with cold water (and turns back into a boy with hot water) due to a magic curse."

Answer 2

There's a manga called "Never Give Up" where the main character always changes clothes from a girl to a guy.

Answer 3

erm...
ouran high school host club:
In this screwball romantic comedy, a poor girl at a rich kids' school ends up working for the school's swankiest club—and gets mistaken for a boy!
One day, Haruhi, a scholarship student at exclusive Ouran High School, breaks an $80,000 vase that belongs to the "Host Club," a mysterious campus group consisting of six super-rich (and gorgeous) guys. To pay back the damages, she is forced to work for the club, and it's there that she discovers just how wealthy the boys are and how different they are from everybody else.

hana-kimi:
Hana-Kimi centers on Mizuki Ashiya, a Japanese girl who lives in the United States. One day, she sees a track and field competition on TV, and becomes attracted to one of the competitors, Izumi Sano, competing in the high jump. She begins to idolize the young athlete and eventually transfers to Japan to attend the same school that Sano attends. There is a catch, however-- Sano attends an all-boys high school, named Osaka Gakuen, and Mizuki must disguise herself as a boy to enter.

Answer 4

I second the suggestion of "Ranma 1/2". Humorous, and Ranma never knows from one day to the next what he'll be.

I loved when Ukyo found out about his gender changing, and kept dumping hot and cold water on him to change him/her back and forth ... "This is fun no matter how many times I do it!"

Answer 5

Kasimasi ~Girl Meets Girl

Hazumu Osaragi, a rather feminine boy, confessed his crush on his classmate Yasuna Kamiizumi but was turned down. Later that day, he was hit and killed by an extraterrestrial spacecraft falling on Earth but then resurrected by alien technology -- as a girl. While his (now "her") childhood friend Tomari Kurusu, who had a secret crush on him, found it difficult to accept the reality, Kamiizumi came back and tried to approach Osaragi actively, for the reason she turned Osaragi down is now vanished.


Fate Stay Night

Shirou Emiya lost his parents in a fire when he was young and was later adopted by a sorceror by the name of Kiritsugu Emiya. Although he was full of admiration for his adopted father and yearns to become an ally of justice, Shirou has limited powers and was unable to become a strong sorceror like his father. That is until one fateful day, he was drawn into the Holy Grail War and had to summon a female "Servant" known as Saber in order to protect himself. It turns out that the Holy Grail War involves a series of battles among powerful sorcerors to fight for the possession of a relic that will grant one's wishes, the Holy Grail. There are altogether seven "Masters" who can summon their respective "Servants" from different classes known as Saber, Archer, Rider, Berserker, Lancer, Caster and Assasin. These "Servants" have to hide their names in order not to reveal their weaknesses to the enemies. The story revolves around Shirou and his entanglement in the Holy Grail War.


Cheeky Angel (manga) Tenshi na Konamaki (anime)

Megumi is a nine-year old kid who, after saving a sorceror from getting beat-up by some punks is granted a wish. His wish to become the "manliest man on Earth" is misinterpretted as the "womanliest woman on Earth" and he is transformed into a girl. Six years later, Megumi may still have the body of a girl, but behaves like a guy and is only interested in fighting and martial arts. Megumi takes her new school by storm with all of the guys lusting after her as she attempts to deal with the day-to-day problems of any other normal teenage girl.
