No, I don't just mean a fake 'Reverse Trap', as most of the reverse traps in the actual category are. I'm talking about a PROPER one. For clarity's sake, let me elaborate...

The standard 'trap' manga goes like so:

Straight (or he thinks he's straight!) male lead falls for a willingly cross-dressing guy.
The cross-dresser appears to be an attractive female, i.e. a 'trap' for the straight guy.
There is actual or hinted romantic tension between the two.
The cross-dresser is or seems to be interested in a relationship with the male lead.
They are both the lead characters, as in, the lead 'couple'.

So, I'm looking for a REVERSE TRAP, wherein:

Straight (or she thinks she's straight!) female lead falls for a willingly cross-dressing woman.
The cross-dresser appears to be an attractive male, i.e. a 'trap' for the straight woman.
There is actual or hinted romantic tension between the two.
The cross-dresser is or seems to be interested in a relationship with the female lead.
They are both the lead characters, as in, the lead 'couple'.

See what I mean? Most so-called 'reverse traps' still result in a fairly normal heterosexual romance, where the cross-dressing female wins the heart of the leading guy - but I'm looking for actual homoeroticism beneath all the gender-play. The kind you get in standard 'trap' stories, where it's basically (or biologically) two guys, except that one of them is, uh, very feminine, and perhaps prefers to be disguised as a woman. So obviously, a proper 'reverse trap' (by my definition, anyway!) would be basically two girls, in which one of them is very masculine and prefers to be disguised as a man. Yeah.

Oh, and I don't like hentai - or ecchi (unless it's very, very mild, in which I can tolerate it - barely).

Any takers?

Definitely Flower Flower. (Do you really not know this one, or did you just forget?)

Edit - Still, I wouldn't call the reverse trap here 'very masculine' - she's a tomboy, and looks like a boy; but she isn't exactly manly...just boyish.

Not completely scanlated, though.


Himitsu no Hanazono (Fujii Mihona)
Judging by reviews, it seem to be in favor of your requirements. (I haven't read it.)

There's another one, but the reverse trap thing is a major plot-turning point. Besides, it's not scanlated yet.

Oh, hey, there's actually manga that fits! I hope there's even more, but... THANK YOU BOTH!
