A cute anime with a beautiful boy dressed as a girl, it is full of fluffy and humorous moments that would definitely make your day brighter. Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru is a good start for begginers in shounen-ai in a sense that the plot is still cute and innocent in a way.

While looking at the plot, most would assume the worst of this show, and as did I. On the flip chance that I would actually enjoy it, I gave it a watch, a was pretty surprised as to what I saw.
Story
Now, I know there aren't TOO many shows like this (or at least that I have heard of) but you could probably guess what happens by the end of the first episode, boy pretends to be girl, everybody loves said girl, girl motivates all her friends, everyone finds out girl is boy but for some reason don't completely freak out. To this extent, you have the story mostly correct, but the execution is what I like about this show.
Animation
While the animation by no means is impressive, it would have been above average for it being a couple years old, and still holds up well, but not the best I have seen. On a side note, I loved the chibi versions of the characters used to express comical emotions, I thought it added some appeal.
Sound
Not too much to say here, stock sounds with a forgettable opening and ending.
Characters
Coming from a male standpoint, the characters were, well meh. I felt quite distant from all of them, even Mizuho, the protagonist (who I might add was a little too okay with being a female) felt quite bland and predictable, while some of the girl's were far too unpredictable and got over stressed problems that took up an episode quite quickly
Enjoyment
I went into this anime thinking that it would be absolute shit, and while it's by no means perfect the execution of the show went over quite well, and I for one am quite pleased that the level of fan-service is kept at a respectable amount. While i would like to talk about the execution more, it would spoil parts of the story. All and all I would give this show a 7/10 and a reccommendation to give it a watch
