Summary:


Tsukimi is an otaku and jellyfish enthusiast whose only means of coping with the world is to reject it: she and her friends live in a house they declare a man-free zone, generally avoid 'stylish people', and spend their days blissfully bonding over geeky rituals. As misfortune would have it, their convenient existence is about to be turned on its head by the arrival of Kuranosuke, a seemingly beautiful young woman who is actually a beautiful young man. While he may be strange even by their standards, Kuranosuke embodies everything Tsukimi secretly dreams of being - a princess as ethereal as a floating jellyfish - and promises the kind of mind-boggling adventures only possible when geek meets chic!


****************


I think this is the only Josei type anime I've ever watched or read. I read the manga also. Tsukimi and everyone she live with are NEETs. They all have there own things they are obsessed with. Jellyfish, Old Men, Dolls in Kimonos, the three kingdoms, and trains  are these NEETs obsessions. Kuranosuke likes to crossdress and belives that every girl is born a princess, some just get lost alone the way. All the characters bring something interesting to the table. A Must watch!


I don't think there will be a season two of this because of the way it jumps a huge part in the manga. But this is another anime I would buy if I had the money. I've watched this both subbed and dubbed. It also was an award winning anime in 2010.


I give it 5 out of 5.
