Well as someone who is trans myself, this manga is very special for me. A lot of people criticize the art, but I think the art is actually pretty good. It's pretty normal art so I don't see much of a problem with it. Anyways, the point of me writing this review is to recommend it to anyone interested in trans people or anyone who is themself, trans. It was very helpful for me and helped me see the perception of trans people through a Japanese lens. I thought that it was well put together and informative. In general, I think it was a great ...

Umareru Seibetsu wo Machigaeta! is a simple autobiographical mange by Mafuyu Konishi.

It is difficult to rate this manga, as it is short and transparent story-wise. The main character is essentially a self-insert of the author. She travels to Thailand for sex reassignment surgery.

It's a very heartwarming story and informative for those who are curious about sex reassignment surgery in East Asian culture.

Overall, a simple story that you could read in an hour or ...
