'you're wrong. I like it because I like it.'

Ore ga Watashi ni Naru made is story that so far, is a gift that keeps on giving. I am somewhat disappointed about the lack of traction this series has (it doesn't even have a rating yet!!), but at the same time unsurprised, due to it's nature and topic of interest.
Despite this, I truly believe this is a manga that should not be shrugged off as a stereotypical gender bender, as for what I have read the purpose of this manga is to tear down the stereotypes that overlook all of us constantly. Anywho, onto the review.

Story: ... 10/10
It is the story of Akira, the boy who turned girl in their sleep, yadda yadda yadda the typical things of trans fiction. Yet, the way that the story unfolds and is told is in a way that is much more than 'I turned into a girl one night and now I am living as a girl, oh no but also I'm kinda cute'. It is a coming of age story of a person slowly figuring out what it is and means to be a girl, while concurrently being a story of what it means to be yourself, whatever that may be or whatever body you may be residing in. It is a story of change, but also self acceptance. Akira often finds herself battling with fitting in, questioning her likes and dislikes stemming from the gender she has been unreadily assigned.
But it feels so relatable, as nobody chose their gender from the beginning, yet straight from the get-go the world already expects you to do/be certain things based on so. Akira is often frightened by the expectation he is to uphold of both male and female. Male (for the one's who knew him before the change), and female (the one's who knew her after). But in the end, Akira is just Akira, and will only be happy doing things that Akira enjoys, whatever 'side' it may be attuned to.
Everything about the plot is so cleverly set out and realistic (and usually cute), and I never felt like any interaction was dumb or unrealistic, as so much of it I could picture happening when I was the protagonists age. At least in my experience with reading this, there were so many moments that I believe could really change the way some people see the world and others for the better, at least in the generation I live in.

Art: 8/10
The art in this manga may seem roughly drawn with harsh lines and a bit wobbly at some times, but in no way for me did it take away from the story nor experience (though, I might be a little bias as I first read it in an even ROUGHER state).
Of course, the art really does get much better as the chapters go on, which I can't not appreciate (p.s. the cute moments get cuter <3).

Characters: 10/10
This is where the manga shines the most. I don't know if I'm just messed up, but nearly every character I felt like I could relate to on one level or another. While the story is focused and always told from the perspective of Akira, the way other characters are fleshed out is refreshing. I really could see a real personality in all of them, never feeling like a main character was made without thought and being typical cut and paste filler or solely a plot driver. Of course, Akira herself is so well thought out. Her character development through the series so far is on another level, without straying from realistic expectations, shattering any doubt that she did not earn what she got and to be how she is. My favourite dynamic though has to be Akira and her family that has known her before everything. Sometimes it shocks me how close her situation is to someone who is trans, that's all I have to say.

Enjoyment: 10/10
vvv
Overall..
I think maybe I just relate too much to this manga, as well as miss the life outside of quarantine, but still, this manga has everything. Even if you aren't into thinking too deeply and just want to leisurely read a comic for entertainment, you will still be able to enjoy this. It is relatable, sad, funny, dramatic, adorable, romantic; really just the whole pie, which is why I highly recommend this series. Anywho, have a good day/afternoon/night!

Preliminary (41/? eps)

Ore ga watashi ni naru talks about a young boy's journey as he one day turns into a girl. The main character Akira is unlike other gender benders manga that I have read. Ore ga watashi ni naru made showcases that change can be hard and that it not always easy. In other gender bender manga I have seen other MC's transition and coming to accept their new selves more easily than Akira. The title of the manga is the exact representation of what the story is about, "Becoming Me." Akira changed when he was in elementary and the story showcases of how he come ...

Mixed Feelings

Preliminary (50/? eps)

In the vein of manga like Hourou Musuko or Shishunki Bitter Change, Ore ga Watashi ni Naru made attempts to tell a serious story grappling with gender dysphoria, but approaches the subject sort of in reverse. Our main character is Akira, whose physical sex changes in elementary school, and we follow them as they come to appreciate the changes and find that their identity wasn't quite what they thought. It's essentially a trans coming-of-age tale with the biggest roadblocks already removed.

From the beginning, Orewata catapults recklessly into the plot. It's not uncommon for these sort of stories to feature the Big Change™ in the first ...
