Kasimasi ~Girl Meets Girl~

Hazumu confesses his love to his friend Yasuna, but she turns him down. To ease his heartbreak, he goes by himself to Mt. Kashimayama, where he first met Yasuna. Hazumu is still wandering about the mountain as night falls when suddenly he sees a shooting star. He wishes upon the shooting star, only to discover that something's not quite right. The star continues to grow larger, and Hazumu discovere it is actually a falling alien space ship, which collides with Hazumu. With the aid of the alien, Hazumu is able to survive, but with one major difference -- his body has been changed from that of a boy to a girl.

Upon first impression, Kasimasi ~Girl Meets Girl~ appears to be nothing special. A boy who turns into a girl? A love triangle? The concept sounds done to death, but Kasimasi manages to pull it off wonderfully. From the delicate opening theme to the touching ending theme, each episode portrays itself in a serious, thoughful manner; many other gender bender/love triangle series are often comedies. While Kasimasi is not devoid of the occasional comedic bits or fanservice, they instead serve to accentuate the mood, not become it, which I think makes the series more worthwhile.
