The love interest questions their sexuality (or romantic orientation) as result of the MC's presented gender.
It has to absolutely fit this:
1. The character must fall in love with them as the gender they are "bending" as. For example, if the MC is a girl and "bends" as a boy, then the love interest must fall in love with them as a boy. Or, at the very least, regardless of their gender.
Examples. He's Dedicated To Roses; Nicoichi; Cheonsaeng Yeonbun
This cannot be mere admiration (although it can start out that way). Their love cannot be indicated by the simple, "wow this person's so cool" blush. Also, it has to be character that ends up in a relationship with the MC.
I'd prefer it if the true gender reveal didn't happen within the first couple of chapters. I'd actually like it if the love-interest becomes disappointed or angry after the true gender reveal, but loves the MC anyway.
This is about actual gender bending—deliberately presenting as a gender they are not. This isn't a request for characters transitioning into preferred/true genders.
The medium can be anything as long as I can find it. Yes, I've looked through the "false shounen-ai" and "false shoujo-ai" topics. The only tv drama that I think sort of fit this was Coffee Prince (wasn't my cup of tea, but for those that'll find this later). It's a Korean drama.
Thanks in advance. I'll be commenting so that others looking for the same stuff will have a easier time sorting through what they want. So, if it seems like I'm needlessly critiquing something I'm sorry.
