Ai Ore! is a Japanese manga series by Mayu Shinjo. It was adapted into a live action film in 2012.

Plot

''Ai o Utau Yori Ore Ni Oborero!''

Akira Shiraishi, a young high school boy with feminine features, joins Blaue Rosen, the all-female band for which Mizuki Sakurazaka, an androgynous girl of the same age, performs lead electric guitar.

Their high school life is anything but typical: Mizuki is the "prince" of her all-girl school while Akira is the "princess" of the neighboring all-boy school. A series of comical events brings them closer together, even as the prejudice of the people around them tries to pull them apart.

''Ai-Ore! Danshikō no Hime to Joshikō no Ōji''

After announcing that he is a boy during a concert for Blaue Rosen in the first book, Akira and Mizuki begin to date. But as their relationship heats up, so does the feud between the two's schools.
