comment |
High school delinquent Shuumei Satogiri has a crush on Hana, a beautiful girl who works at a local Maid Cafe, but he's "too cool" to go there and talk to her without being embarrassed. But it's not creepy if a girl goes to a maid cafe, right? He puts on feminine clothes to become "Mei" and goes to talk to Hana almost every day. But he has no idea Hana is actually his male classmate Yuuma Hanae, a gloomy otaku who's uncomfortable talking to people unless he's dressed as a girl. He ends up falling for Mei, the beautiful "girl" who keeps visiting the cafe to see "Hana".Crossplay Love: Otaku x Punk (Josou-shite Mendokusai Koto ni Natteru Nekura to Yankee no Ryou Kataomoinote "Dressing Up Like Women Became Troublesome: A Pessimist and a Delinquent's Mutual Unrequited Love") is a Romantic Comedy manga by Tooru, published in Mag Garden since 2018. Seven Seas Entertainment started releasing an English translation in 2022.Note: On this page, Hanae and Shuumei will be called by their actual names and he/him pronouns when they're not crossdressing, and by their alter ego names and she/her pronouns when they are. |

Reverse Psychology Backfire: Mei tries to stamp out Kanoko's interest in her by dressing girlishly and behaving the opposite of how she normally does. Unfortunately, he's still attracted to her as a person. |
