Houou Gakuen Misoragumi
Kei is a lesbian who can't seem to find a girl to be in a serious relationship. Her mom disapproves of her sexuality, so she sends her to an all-boys school in hopes that she'll get married to a boy eventually.
Hilarity Ensues. Well, sorta.
The series is licensed by Digital Manga Publishing under the name The Beautiful Skies of Houou High, though it appears to have been dropped after the 1st volume, perhaps due to Values Dissonance.
Compare to Maria Holic, which has a similar premise but is even more comedic and lacks romance.
Tropes used in Houou Gakuen Misoragumi include:
- Abusive Parent: Kei's mom hits her and tells her to 'go find yourself a guy like a normal girl would!' in the first chapter. Luckily Kei's dad loves her.
- Adult Child: Kei's mom.
- Ambiguously Gay: It's hard to tell whether Kei's a lesbian, Bisexual, or just confused and afraid of men. It's not as ambiguous if you're familiar with the Japanese stereotype that lesbians are just women who were hurt by men in the past.
- She's shown attraction to females since a young age.
- Art Evolution: Kei looked more masculine originally
- Attractive Bent Gender: Kei, and Merry as well.
- Bifauxnen: Kei
- Butch Lesbian: Kei.. Probably.
- Butt Monkey: Kei
- Clingy Jealous Boy: Yui sometimes physically clings to Kei, and doesn't like her getting close to other students.

- I Want Grandkids: Kei's mom, so much that she sends her daughter to an all-boys school to see if she'll become Straight.
- Master of Disguise: Merry, slightly going into Wholesome Crossdresser territory.
- Off-Model: Kei's hand in the bottom left panel. I mean, geeze.
- Papa Wolf: Kei's dad gets a streak of this towards any males that get close to his daughter.
