Boku no Futatsu no Tsubasa is a Mature, Gender Bender, Ecchi, Romantic, Comedy about a Hiromi (girl) who is excited about her cousin Mako (boy?), who is going to be living with her to attend high school. However she is shocked to discover Mako is a hermaphrodite. ^_^

I would say the story is just your usual high school Rom/Com but the issue surrounding Mako makes this anything but an ordinary manga. This may be the first time most of us have come across a gender bender, with such a real life concept, which makes it so fascinating to read. In the beginning each chapter basically ... brings up another issue or event. Yet instead of having an episodic feel, like most manga of this affinity, the chapters actually link together quite nicely. However the story does go downhill later on, when random developments are just added in.

The artwork is pretty decent with some good looking character designs. However the art style is somewhat crude, which reduces the overall quality of everything, especially the facial expressions.

The characters are pretty interesting but out of all of them Mako is the one this manga is all about. It is hard not to feel concerned about the problems Mako has to deal with but it’s hilarious to see how Mako deals with it all.

Overall Boku no Futatsu no Tsubasa is one of the best Gender Benders, out of all the manga I have read. It’s amazing how well it brings up various issues that we are all thinking whilst reading and give a realistic answer. I can’t stress how many “LOL” moments this manga has in the beginning but that is due to the number of sexual innuendos. So if you don’t mind a very sexually orientated comedy and some incredibly stupid developments, then you must check this out.

*Be warned though, there's a bit of sexual content.*

Who doesn't like hermaphrodites? Probably a lot of people, but that's beside the point.

Hello and welcome to the "Sometimes I Really Question Why I Finished Reading This" segment, where the answer is almost always "Curiosity Killed The Cat".

I like reading weird shit. It's almost always bad in an entertaining way.

Sometimes it's not. Enter Boku no Futatsu no Tsubasa, where it's just bad.

Spoiler warning? The twists are so left field not even Nostradamus could hope to see them coming...

Enter cousins Hiromi (not a hermaphrodite) and Makoto (a hermaphrodite). They have everyday problems, such as boys, the school lesbian, periods, and making sure Makoto doesn't pop a ... stiffy in public and let everyone in on the big secret.

Everything is fine and dandy until one day Makoto receives a mysterious cellphone, from someone claiming to be her father.

I don't want to type out an entire plot summary, but it starts off fine enough and turns into the worst train wreck since the 2004 Sri Lanka tsunami rail disaster.

The plot is overtly contrived, with way too many "plot twists" and secretive bad guys out to kidnap Makoto that feel like they're there to inject interest but only succeed in confusing. Characters fail to act rationally (I'm going to have sex with your seedy ex-boyfriend who is a known cheater and only uses women for their bodies because he seems like a nice guy!) and detract from the plot that is barely there by the end.

Should You Read: Boku no Futatsu no Tsubasa? Probably not. There's probably better hermaphrodite manga out there if that's what you're looking for, and if that isn't what you're looking for, then why are you here?

This is my first review so bear with me.

I didn't hate it but there was a lot left to be desired. The art was about the only redeeming thing in this whole manga. The story (especially the ending), was so contrived, it felt the ending was a part of a whole different manga. The character development was poor and it just was a waste of time.

If you want to read a better quality gender bender about a half guy, half girl (though in a different way), you should read After School Nightmare. It has the sci-fi aspect of this manga; the character development and the ... mystery is a lot better; and frankly the ending was 20x better than this one.

Edit: I did like how they portrayed the main character in a normal way, in a way where she had problems that were similar (if not the same) to every other teenager.

"Boku no Futatsu no Tsubasa" is an ecchi comedy manga that really feels more like fan service for people who enjoy gender bending stories. I don't feel any need to criticize the themes, but I will say that in many cases the characters come off quite shallow. For instance, wile I certainly expect teenagers to be obsessed with sex, neither of the two main leads seem to have any sort of emotional baggage that goes along with these feelings and that alone feels very unnatural.

The plot line itself is fairly nonsensical - starting off as "slice of life" comedy, but then changing about half ... way through the series to a sci-fi conspiracy that never really seems credible and the ending is perfunctory and only perhaps modestly satisfying.

That being said, this is not a terrible manga. It's merely not very good. If you're a fan of gender bent/futanari type stories, then you might get some extra mileage out of the subject mater here, but for other people there isn't really much here to see that you can't get elsewhere and honestly done better.

I think people are a little overly harsh on this short series. I think maybe people are a little closed minded when it comes to sexual situations like this. But I found it fun and interesting. I really liked Makoto's personally and I enjoyed her journey, discovering herself. Although I do feel the end was a little rushed, overall I liked it and wished it was longer when I finished it. That's how I rate things, if it ends and I'm sad there's not more then it's good in my book.
Give it a try and don't take it too seriously, it's just entertainment after ... all.

This manga started off well but by the end, it lost all of its wonder.

The main character is a futanari that happens to have both a penis and a vagina. She starts to live with her cousin and her aunt. It's a simple story with what should be a complex character. However, the thing that sucks about is everything happens so quickly and not in a good way.

So I find fault in the pacing of the manga and depth of characters. Not a lot of the central characters were fleshed out to me. The cousin of the m.c. felt empty besides what she ... ends up doing with her ex-boyfriend who also happens to hook up with the lead.

I don't have a problem with the direction the author took. I have a problem with how it developed, it wasn't done right to me. It lacked depth and made the manga boring. I was waiting for sex scenes to pop up after I started to get half way through the manga as that was the only interesting thing to occur after a while.

This is an ecchi series that follows a girl who has to deal with her cousin moving in with her and her mom. The twist is that cousin is a hermaphrodite/futanari and there's a twist on that later on when they explain why it is she was born as a futanari. Thankfully they don't try to pair the two main leads together............but there's still some easy to forget moments of Alabamaness splashed in. Twords the end it can be hard to read through with other elements they try to add for some forced tension. But it is mostly fan service. There's nothing bad in this ... series but outside of the fan service there's nothing too great about the series. A nice recommendation for those who have started reading into ecchi series. This is one series that has a low chance of becoming an anime, and if it dose becomes one it will be made out of one of the more newer studios or will be turned into a hentai.

I wanted to like this, it's weird, unique, and I doubt I'll read something like this again, however, Boku no Futatsu no Tsubasa tried to do too many things at once.

The art is decent, it's nothing to write home about, character expressions are well developed, but sometimes it was hard to know which character was which at times. There were quite a few places where the main characters and most supporting characters were in a scene, and it was near impossible to figure out which was which. The design for Makoto was really good though.

The overall character design is lacking, there are just way ... too many characters introduced in only 37 chapters. The two main characters are fleshed out pretty well, but some of the side characters are introduced in some drama, stick around for the rest of the manga, and provide no substance at all. Some character conflicts are just left wide open and, seemingly, conveniently forgotten.

The biggest hit is the story. I really wanted to like this, and for the first dozen or so chapters, I was way on board. The drama and conflicts were handled well, albeit a bit quickly at times, and there were discussions about sexual topics that rarely get brought up. Obviously some of the way that it's talked about is a bit touchy (it's 20 years old, so I can't hold it to the standards of today), but it's handled elegantly.

However.

The story itself jumps around way too much, there were parts in the middle chapters where I would forget what happened 2 pages prior, because time would jump forward a day, or it would be from another perspective, with little explanation. It also introduced a weird sci-fi thing near the end, which was fine if it was explained more, but it wasn't. It just appeared, then the story ended.

It's certainly an interesting manga, that doesn't fall into the numerous tropes that I've come to suspect, but it's a bit of a mess. If you like Gender Bender stories, give it a try, if you're into weird stories, try it as well. I don't think I would recommend it to many people though.

I'm only writing this because of how annoyed I am with the ending. The premise of this manga is that the main girl is a futanari, with a penis and a vagina, who has to navigate normal teenage girl problems. Also there are people who want to kidnap her and a wild twist at the end, but none of that's relevant until the second half of the manga. If you don't like that premise, don't read this. If you do like that premise, this story is about as bad as it could be with that premise and with that twist. The plot is a hot ... mess and there are too many forgettable characters who contribute nothing. The entire plot is driven by just random events and sex.

The whole "teen girl with a penis" plot does touch on themes relevant to LGBTI people. The main girl Makoto isn't portrayed as some kind of freak, which is good, but this manga still isn't totally sensitive to actual LGBTI issues.

The author of this manga is great at writing hentai and coming up with cool ideas, but he failed to string cool ideas and sex scenes together into an intriguing story.

I will say, the art and fashion is awesome.
