This manga had me giggling like an idiot, with the only verbal thought in my mind being "WTF". This author is no less than a genius, because sex shift mangas are so common to find, but its the semi-serious take on the premise which makes this so entertaining to read. I really couldn't have expected hadn't I read this.

The premise is that our protagonist suddenly experiences a disorder, a sex change disorder, which is accompanied by a certain amount of symptoms, one of them is growing out a dick. So now she has to tackle the challenges that come with the disorder and not weird ... out people in her surroundings.

Now, I thought that I would be reading some mindless story resembling that of a hentai. But oh boy, was I wrong. I liked that despite the premise being clearly weird, the author has put in clear efforts to make the story grounded and realistic. Despite being mostly comedic, it tackles on themes very much serious and the way it does without compromising with its comedic theme at all is damn impressive.

Characters are another thing the author has done a good job developing. Most of the characters look like they are just straight out of a romance manga, but they have their own set of personality traits and the author has done his best aligning their thinking with what a real person with similar circumstances would think.

Art is very good, reminds me of a good mix of a romance manga and a manga with gag humour as one of its elements. It has that fluidity to change its artstyle depending on the current atmosphere and scenario.

At the end I like this manga very very much cause it was so entertaining. Now I wait for the moment this gets adapted to anime and becomes a controversial mess.

It's very easy to brush this manga aside as the author's fetish or allegory but I think this can be a very good story about self acceptance about something you can't control. It's not something you really see in animanga. The comedy is also really nice, it's not forced and it's serious about the issue it addresses. The art is great and the characters don't feel invisible, it has a lot of potential.

My only criticism so far is it has the typical character is about to be told important stuff only to be cut off by something stupid and then it drags on for chapters ... and chapters.
