Synopsis

To gain the confidence to confess to his crush, Yashiro visits a secluded shrine for 100 days straight. This earns him the attention of the enshrined deity and his fox attendant Ukon who follow Yashiro on the 100th day to see how the confession turns out. However, they are surprised to see him confess to a guy, Yashiro's longtime friend Kenta, only for Kenta to turn him down. Although heartbroken, Yashiro tries to joke around with Kenta, but he accidentally gets killed when a truck runs into him.

Yashiro awakens in the presence of the shrine's god and Ukon, and as a show of gratitude, the god decides to restore him back to life to give him a second chance with Kenta. In doing so, the god grants his wish to be reborn as a high school girl and gives her the name Kagura Tendou. However, she soon discovers that the god and Ukon plan to watch over her relationship with Kenta, although she's the only one who can see and hear them.

But for real, this manga tackles the issue of "it's great to love someone regardless of their gender but that can't always be the case".

The plot is nothing special since the primary focus is on the ...

At first I didn't know what to expect because this manga being a Gender Bender one but since the first chapter I already loved what was going on and I couldn't stop reading!

This manga is so heartwarming that made me make an account here to review it and favorite it so I never forger how much I liked this piece of work.

Is a has a few chapters but around 40 pages each so is really takes a while to read it all and I did in just one sit.

7 for enjoyment.
This should be tagged shounen ai, boys love, yaoi or whatever you want to call it.

There were times where I didn't know what the manga was trying to show. Also, I appreciate the spotlight on lgbt issues, but the end parts felt a little cheesy and forced. With more planning, the execution of themes ...
