Aburatsubo's obviously a dude, but even if not, I love Aikawa's character design so much that the look of the other characters doesn't impact me as much. (Itoh-san drew me a picture that I love AND loathe at the same time) XD

The attractive-girl-who's-actually-bishounen upset. Happens to everyone. Tales of Vesperia is a prime example for me.
Conclusion: girly men can pass for attractive women.

Ha! That was a fun show. They did establish that the girly boy was straight though, which was amusing. I bought many of the manga for super cheap at the Phoenix Comicon a couple of years ago, but I haven't read them yet. The anime references the manga a few times, so I'm sure I will enjoy it... whenever I get around to it.
