let me preface this with saying that i know this is a comedy manga first and foremost, so i'm aware it's not supposed to be some deep psychological study (it hasn't really affected my enjoyment either). that being said, let's look at the things that happened to mahiro: he gets forcefully transitioned into a girl because his sister roofied him and he's forced to go through middle school again while pretending to be the opposite gender. for the vast majority of people, they'd be rightfully pissed and uncomfortable with their new situation. aside from some moments played for comedy, that doesn't happen at all. i sure as hell know i'd feel super weird if i had to go to middle school while being a girl (not to mention how creepy i'd feel making friends there). again, i know it's a comedy, but i feel like there was a lot left out that could've made this manga even more interesting. thx for coming to my ted talk

Mahiro seems trans-coded, really most of this story just seems like it wanted to be abt a trans person instead of gender bend but since gender bend sells more then it became gender bend

Maybe you wouldnt be ok with this situation but a lot of trans women would love it

The part abt a middle aged person going back to middle school is really weird but a lot of trans people really wish they could be able to live their childhood with their preferred gender

i think this issue only happen with anime due faster pacing or if you binger the manga. when the manga was started, it was taking months before mahiro even enter school, let alone fully feminized. the manga was started as doujinshi that released once every 3 months with sometimes twitter sporadic release before official serialization. so it make sense to be fast paced, small amount of pages, content denser.

Mahiro is getting treated a 180 from his og experience which is pleasant for him.
