Sometimes cis anime characters cross-dress when they need a disguise. This could be for a job, a bet, or a family reason. The following characters cross-dress somewhat frequently (not a one-off occasion).

Transgender characters and characters who cross-dress as a personal hobby are not on this list. I've made other lists for them.

Whether they're doing it for love, debt, family, work, or any other reason, all these main characters have their reasons for crossdressing. Don't judge them too harshly.

Maybe you watch it for the plot, maybe you watch it to enjoy the comedy, or maybe you watch it because you love it. Just watch and you might discover a new feti... *cough cough*.... Discover their reasons behind doing it.


As a wiseman said
"SOMETIMES IT TAKES A REAL MAN TO BECOME BEST GIRL"

Animes with the classic moe artstyle or very smiliar to it.

This stack is dedicated to Class S, a famous phenomenon in Japanese youth girl culture of the early 20th century and the literary genre it inspired. Cultivating caused by situational homosexuality and the closed, same-sex nature of education at that time, passionate homoerotic friendships between young girls in all-girls' schools and universities of the 1920s, Class S has had a huge influence on the formation of traditions of both friendship and lesbian media in Japanese culture in the 20th and then 21st centuries.

In particular, many of the tropes, trends, and mythology of Class directly inspired and became the prototype for the yuri genre, thanks to the huge popularity of the Class S "Maria-sama ga Miteru" LN series and its anime adaptation in the 00s. Because of this, the original "homoerotic passionate female friendship" nature of Class S has been somewhat diluted, and now literal or Class S-inspired shows can be completely platonic or ambiguously homoerotic, or even outright lesbian romance. Much depends on the premise and the intentions of the authors in each individual work. So, you can get both a de facto MariMite in a modern setting like Hibike! Euphonium, and a full-fledged romance emulating the Class S aesthetic like Strawberry Panic. Or even a yuri show directly parodying this concept like Watashi no Yuri wa Oshigoto desu.

Although Class has not existed in its classic form for many years, it continues to inspire Japanese girls' media both directly and through various influences.
