What's your opinion on traps?

I love both!
Traps are awesome!
Reverse traps are cool!
They suck.
What's a trap?  Sounds painful

Traps in anime and manga
« on: May 21, 2007, 05:07:31 PM »
Traps are anime characters who look, walk and talk like girls but are in fact guys.  Reverse traps are, of course, girls disguised as guys.  I'm just curious.

Traps:
Mashiro (My-Otome manga)
Mizuho (Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru)
Jun (Happiness)

Reverse traps:
Kino (Kino no Tabi)
Haruhi (Ouran)
Akira (My-HiME)

Twins from Utawarerumono -who knows what they are...

Come to think of it, I can't really say the twins in Utawarerumono are traps.  No one even knows their gender in the first place.  They're males in the game.

She's the best reverse trap.  I'll agree with that.

Again, the only trap I have ever liked is Manshiro in My Otome.  Those two series have the best traps/ reverse traps ever, I've decided.  *No love for kino*
