Umareru Seibetsu wo Machigaeta! is a short autobiographical manga about the author's experiences with sex reassignment surgery.
The author goes to Thailand, has the surgery done and goes throught the recovery process. The whole plot is just that. It's not much of a story, but the important thing is how the author shows the complete picture of the whole process. She describes everything before, during and after the operation, a lot of which was interesting and I didn't know about. The author also doesn't sugarcoat anything. She describes some of the more disgusting and painful aspects of getting a sex reassignment surgery, which makes the story
...
seem a lot more sincere and real.
There's lots of attempts at comedy and a few references to other manga, that were kind of amusing, but I didn't find anything actually funny. Most of that humour comes from the main character, who's loud and goofy to the point of being annoying most of the time. Also, other than her, there weren't really any other characters that mattered in any way.
The art is okay for the most part, but looks strange and awkward at points.
Finally, I'm not really the target demographic, but people who are going through the same things as the author might just love this manga because it really seems to go into the subject matter with a lot of care and detail. I thought the educational aspect was interesting, but the art, narrative and characters were lacking.
