Oh, my, Simoun is sillier than I thought...

Simoun is even sillier than I thought. Get this: it's a long-lost colony on a distant planet. They're all genetically engineered humans. Everyone starts out life female; it's only after a "second puberty" around 16 that they get to choose to change their sex if they wish, but those who have so chosen can't operate their fighter aircraft. (Why anyone would choose to be male in this society is beyond me; women occupy absolutely every upper office.)

The art isn't all that great, either. But damn, there is a lot of girl-on-girl angst. And snogging.
