Kozuki Wataru in "Ache"
I stumbled upon this today while reading (well, as close to reading as I can manage... which is briefly reading headlines while looking for Takarazuka) the Asahi shinbun. My eyes were drawn to this ad because of the androgyny in the picture. Then I had a realization that it was Kozuki Wataru once I got to the reading bit.

I can't 100% understand the synopsis, but the line "male... female...?" has me thinking it could be filled with androgynous goodness.
I welcome someone with better Japanese than me to translate this. I think I get the first bit, but even when I asked my host parents they said they didn't understand the meaning of the second half.
But whoa, I have always maintained that Kozuki Wataru is manly... she really looks like a guy!
Anyone planning to see this?
