I'm looking for any manga with reverse traps, that is, a girl dressed up as a guy. I know there is a ton of them in the Shoujo genre but if you know any that aren't Shoujo all the better. I'm trying not to read too many Shoujos, they often become very formulaic midway after a good premise which has been a letdown.

Some examples:
Kino's Journey
Ouran Host Club
Hourou Musuko
Power
Hana Kimi

There is character like that in Onikirisama no Hakoirimusume but she appears in later chapters.

Nononono for sure.

Edit-
It's a pretty sappy shoujo, but Ruby Doll has something like that.

Yamanko!'s first chapter.
Kuroneko guardian.

And that's all I can think of, I'm sure there's more.

Here's one thread that's useful.

An advanced genre search can narrow the database down pretty well, too. Here's a gender bender search that excludes shoujo/ai, shounen ai, loli, shota, hentai, yaoi, yuri, smut and doujinshis. It's 4 pages, and some of that will be traps, not reverse traps, but it's a start.

And though it's shoujo, you might like Tokyo Crazy Paradise.

And though the category doesn't have much listed in it right now, eventually the Reverse trap category will be a decent list.
