To somewhat clarify, this anime isn't yaoi/bl/shounen-ai/ect; but there are hints of it, which you can say is fanservice because it probably is. However saying that it's completely hetero seems a little off too, there are a lot of moments and bonding between Yuujiro and Tooru. And even though a lot of those moments are a lot more homo out of context, it's still there. I like them together, and I wish they actually had more moments like that, but to completely honest, it's really only shounen-ai if you have shipper googles (for example when Mikoto is asking them why they don't have girlfriends and ... they just kinda get awkward and look at each other, to a shipper that's homo subtext, but to anyone else they just simply don't have girlfriends and that's that, nothing more). So, you probably shouldn't go into this expecting a full out confession.
It's just... a bit too hetero for the people who want them to date, and a bit too gay for the people who don't, y'dig?

As for the other, more important aspects of the show, it's really one of the best I've seen in a while. And I'm totally not just saying that because damn do I love boys in dresses and pretty clothing. It's very funny and I really enjoy all the self-aware jokes they make. The plot is a little odd, because there kind of isn't one. Them dressing up and cheering on the other boys are actually unimportant to the shows climax, which is weird. Like, the same thing could have happened without the pretty clothes. Really though, it's very easy to over look that flaw because of how much I love the characters and their interactions, which is very important to me. this anime tosses a few tropes out the window, for example this is the animes I've seen yet where the main protagonist isn't the facing some internal turmoil about being forced into a thing and slowly accepting it, and it's one of his friends instead. Overall, I really recommend this anime so much, even if it's not your "style" maybe you could recommend it to a friend? Princess Princess is so very underrated and it infuriates me because I enjoyed it so much. Please watch this!
