Princess Jellyfish

海月姫 ‧ Drama ‧ 2018
Kurashita Tsukimi’s dream is to become an illustrator one day. She and her peers, whom all are hikikomoris, feel that society is something they just aren’t on par with, so they spend all of their time together in their apartment pursuing their interests and helping a mysterious tenant with the artwork for a manga.
Because of the time she spent with her mother at the aquarium growing up, Tsukimi has a deep love of jellyfish and hopes to one day wear a dress reminiscent of this beautiful creature. Tsukimi's mother promises her when she is little that she will make a wedding dress for her which looks just like a jellyfish, but then her mother suddenly passes away, and Tsukimi slowly recedes into herself, too afraid of the outside world to venture out into it.
One day, however, her life suddenly changes as she finds herself caught up in a love triangle between Koibuchi Kuronosuke and his brother, Koibuchi Shu. Through the help of Kuronosuke, she realizes she still has a chance at falling in love as well as leading a fulfilling life and gradually allows herself to come out of her shell.

- Feminine MLs that crossdress on occasion
- Insecure and softspoken FL (more realistic in KnDwN than in Kuragehime)
- Confident and carefree ML
- ML bringing FL out of her shell
- Themes of finding oneself and being true to oneself
- Instant friendship between ML and FL
- Love triangle situation (two men vying for FL)
- Both are adapted from Josei mangas

Main difference is that KnDwN is more focused on romance rather than friendship and it's lacking in the sismance present in Kuragehime.
