   Well Hibari does not act asexual at all.  As for the reason he   
   cross-dresses it could be similar to the motivation of the TV in   
   Jellyfixh Princess, he may not be interested in assuming the role   
   of leader of the yakuza clan.  The sexual innuendo is one of the   
   means of unsettling those around him.   
   Note that in most fiction using the gay or tv trope you will   
   look at the misadventures of the TV and laugh.   In this show you   
   laugh at the efforts of the "normal" people to deal with Hibari   
   who always comes out ahead of the game.   
   In the anime Hibari tells the world that he has no intention   
   of stopping his cross-dressing.   I don't know where the manga takes   
   Hibari or his family at the end.

   I don’t recall the manga ever concluded due to tardiness of the artist.  The   
   final page of the final episode had one male classmate calling Hibari on the   
   phone and telling him/her that he's coming over to the house.  I think that   
   was it.   
      
   Family Compo was rather vague about everything too.
