When I first read the introduction of Boku ni Natta Watashi by Ako Shimaki the first thing that went through my mind was "Hana Kimi".
For Boku ni Natta Watashi is extremely similar. Both manga's have gender bender elements in that a girl hides her gender and secretly attends an all boys school. Furthermore, in both mangas the main character is placed as a roomate with the male character she likes/will grow to like.
In terms of humour, Hana Kimi wins by far. In terms of having a girl character that is pretty interesting Boku ni Natta Watashi comes in a draw with Hana Kimi.
I have to say that I found Momoko from Boku to be more interesting in her character development then Hana Kimi.
Rate: 3.5/5 A good read but it loses points for heavy intertextuality from Hana Kimi
