Basic Summary:

10 Episode series.
In an elite all-boys school every year 3 students are chosen to become the schools Princesses, because the boys aren’t able to see girls. The princesses must attend events cheering and encouraging the clubs, dressed as girls.

The story focusses on Mikoto Yutaka who was chosen along with other students: Yuujiro Shihoudani and Tooru Kouno to be princesses. Mikoto initially refused to be a princess but after being convinced by the other Princesses he eventually agreed and accepted his role.

Otoya Hanazono transfers into the school and immediately starts wreaking havoc. He is completely unsatisfied with the Princess Systems and accuses the school council president, Shuuya Arisada of neglecting the feelings of the students wishes. So he creates his own Princess Team: The Dark Princesses, and the rivalry between the two Princess Teams begin….

My thoughts:

*~WARNING!!!~* 
May contain Spoilers!!! 
And by ‘May’ I mean does!!! 

I liked it.. I mean attractive guys dressing up as girls, What’s not to like?!

Also I was a little disappointed about the lack of Boys Love content though, it was only overtones *sigh* I should have read the small print, eh?!

I haven’t seen the anime yet or read the Manga, but apparently the live drama added the relationship between Mikoto and Otoya. Mikoto had a girlfriend in the anime and the manga !

I loved seeing familiar faces though!
Takumi Saito – the one and only Ray Fujita ❤ – the incredibly attractive guy from RH Plus (Closely following Rakuto Tochihara, of course xD)
  And KENTA KAMAKARI!! From the awesome J-Rock band Cocoa Otoko!! ( Which is a band I really really like and am completely heartbroken that they have disbanded -.-” – But i digress….)

When Shuuya does his thinking poses…i love it ! The synchronised swimming team is my favourite. They are so weird… to be honest, this whole drama is weird.

I have reason to believe there is around 30 people in the whole school and they all wander around in groups of 3’s… even at the Princess Event thing that Otoya crashed, there was only 15 people hanging around

Something that kinda annoyed/confused me was: I’m pretty certain in the precredits…y’know when MidnightPumpkin’s song VEGA was playing….there was a kiss…I swear in the whole drama there was not ONE SINGLE KISS!!! I demand to know where this kiss went?!!!!  Was i just not looking???? Was it not there????
