   Hi Posters and Lurkers,   
      
        I remember a time when I saw a mention of the this 1980s comedy series   
   in raam frequently back in the early 2000s, as an anime which I have since   
   watched in Japanese language only.  It was still very funny even with   
   the language   
   barrier/   
      
        This gives the original dialogue translated to English. and it is   
   as funny.   
        Only 4 chapters so far.   
        Hibari is the central figure but in the manga a HS boy after the   
   death of his mother   
     is brought into the strange household  of a yakuza chief former   
   boyfriend of the   
   mother.  Hibari is the chief's only son and is assaulted by his father   
   with the label   
   "Pervert".  H is so cute that the HS boy is interested.  But there are 3   
   lovely daughters   
   as well.  As well as a gang of thugs that would have done Chester Gould   
   proud.   
      
        So if you need a giggle from the antics of yakuza fathers/sons and   
   daughters   
   have a look.  Google is your friend especially if you are searching for   
   "Stop!! Hibari-kun! manga scanalations".   Other formulations of the search   
   brought up too much relating to the anime.   
      
        bliss

   I recall Hibari passing himself off as a girl at school and the boy is the   
   only one privy to the secret because he's living with Habari.   
      
   This was published in the 80s, long before terms such as "asexual" was   
   common so I am not sure whether Hibari was a cross-dresser or thinks that   
   he/she was a girl born into a boy's body.
