Don't let the MAL tags confuse you - these two manga have more similarities than dissimilarities. While on the surface, both might seem lighthearted takes on boys cross dressing as girls, you slowly realize there's so much more than that. The lighter chapters give way to more serious discussions on topics like gender dynamics, how difficult it is to for guys to adjust living as girls, budding friendships, tragic pasts and impossible romances.  

A Young and cute boy suddenly turns into a girl, and becomes the target of romantic interest of another guy. What ensues are cute BL moments where the guy-girl ends up questioning his sexuality. 

A straight guy finds his world turned upside down when he realizes that cross dressing is considered normal in his school. He ends up becoming close friends with a cross-dresser (whom he had initially mistaken for a girl). Not only do we get to see the budding friendship/romance between this pair, but also the struggles of our MC regarding his emotions, feelings towards his cute friend, and him questioning his sexuality 

Although the premise of both the manga is the same - a student is forced to cross dress in order to attend and graduate from their school, the treatment of both these premises is different. Even so, you'll find that the humour and the "impossible" love undertones are similar to both. 

Both are a sort of "yuri harem" type of manga, although Reversible! puts a gender-bender twist on it, while Yurika plays it straight (literally) for laughs. 

They both have crossdressing leads. Prunus Girl was a little more laid back the whole time, but Reversible doesn't get super heavy either. I think the main similarity is how they handled the main characters though. Aikawa and Yaezaki had a similar balance of masculine and feminine traits. 

In both, the heros attending to a boy's school must be cross-dressed cause the school politic; but while in Princess Princess just the main characters are cross-dressed and just during specific events, on Reversible! the half of the students must "live a girl's life" during one week and one week not, and so on...  

In both, the hero must be cross-dressed or else he'll be kicked out of school and dorm. Although the difference is that Kaidou isn't hiding the fact he is a male while Kagami does it. 

Traps, traps and more traps. If you don't get it, I'm talking of cute crossdressed guy. 

Same premise about cross dressing.. The difference is that in Reversible it's an all boys school and on Otoboku it's an all girls school...  

Features male characters who are subjected to gender bender treatment in their school.
