Cheeky Angel is a suprisingly fun show. I had seen the first
episode a year or so ago, and thought the concept for the show was
okay. I wasn't really drawn into the characters or the situation
all that much just watching the 1st episode. Well.. now I've seen
over half of the series on DVD, and I have to say... this is a
sleeper hit for me. Once you get into it, it's very difficult to
stop watching.
Yes, the English Subtitles are crude, but after awhile... you can
pretty much decode them. Whitney (The Cheeky Angel) is such a fun
character to watch. If you don't know how this character came to
be... I'll explain in just a few words. Whitney was a 9 year old
boy when he was given a magic book. A genie offered him a wish.
Whitney asked to be the man of all men. The genie goofed and made
Whitney the woman of all women. This is all explained in a great
flashback moment, and most of the series takes place while Whitney
is in high school and is 16.
The conflict Whitney goes thru is sometimes funny, but also
dramatic at times. It's such a breath of fresh air to see a TG
theme be more than just an excuse for a comedy. Whitney doesn't
want to be a woman (most of the time). It is in my opinion, one of
the best commercial series I have seen to date that deal with the
conflict of a boy becoming a girl, and stuck with it.
And the surrounding characters who are either trying to be her
friend, or boyfriend actually have a lot of dimension to them. The
cartoon aspect really revolves around their comedic attempts to woo
Whitney.
If you are a fan of Ranma 1/2... I highly recommend this series. It
doesn't have all of the quick M2F transformations like Ranma has...
but I love the way Cheeky Angel deals with the subject matter.
Check this anime out anyway you can... it's is my second favorite
M2F anime, just behind Ranma 1/2.

I followed the Tenshi na Konamaiki as a Japanese-language manga.
Just mho, but I was majorly disappointed by the storylines, and
frustrated by the ending. Be forewarned.
It is a very good manga story, but imho a very bad tg story, if it
even qualifies as one.
