Being completely honest I almost dropped this. After reading almost 60 chapters it felt like there was little progress made, and now that I'm done, I'm really glad I didn't drop it. The story (Without major spoiling, I hate spoilers) is about a girl who wants to be a guy, and a guy who wants to be a girl. As the story progresses they start to unravel their true feelings and what the desire. To truly understand this story, you kinda have to take your time to really understand the characters. Unlike some other story's almost all side characters have a lot of depth written ... into them. And i might have a deeper understanding of the story because I can semi relate to the problems their having, especially Mako. In the end, this is a really good manga. Is it for everyone? Definitely not, the main theme of "Being trans" and not being happy with your gender is the main theme and as most people know that there is a very large number of people that don't like this.

I'm gonna be as honest as I can with this. In short, this is quite literally one of the weirdest manga I have EVER read. The story has a ton of twists and it kept me thinking and entertained for that sole fact. I enjoyed it and will recommend it but I know 100% not everyone will like this. The story progresses nicely, the pacing is nice and allows for good development in the story. If your able to put up with some of the weird scenes and continue reading you will find a enjoyable story. This manga really shows that most people are garbage. ... Things seem nice to some, and horrible to others. The manga puts a massive focus on the worst side of people, and them trying to get past that and be better. Granted there's obviously some people that don't change and stay horrible but if you really think about it that just goes to show how some people can really be. If you've never met someone that's just genuinely a bad person then you either are one, or you just don't know it yet, everyone has something bad about them they hide. Some don't care, some show it off, some hide it to the best of their ability. If everyone was good, then there's no possible way for this story to exist. With all that said, it was still good, I read it in one sitting and i recommend to read this at least once.

The pacing is a little fast and choppy in some areas, and it kind of ruins the story some times, but other than that i would still recommend reading this. Unlike most gender benders this story delves deep into the relationship between the main characters. Their relationship starts very early on and the rest of the manga is about their problems and over coming them together. And I know Im repeating myself but they do go a lot farther in their relationship compared to other gender bender manga.

Body Swaping? Unknown gender problems? Family? Friend's? What happens to you when suddenly in elementary school you swap bodies with someone of the opposite gender. This story covers that very well. Not only do you get to see the hard ships from both perspectives, the story has a very nice flow and age to it. Starting out in elementary and going all the way to high school. You get to see the characters slowly understand their feelings and unravel what they truly want after the predicament they got stuck in. In the end i didn't have any problem's with the manga, i really enjoyed it ... reading it in 2 days. I would give it 10/10 but i feel like near the end there should have been a little bit more.

Even if new chapters are uncommon I would still recommend this a read. Unlike some other gender benders, this story really delves deep into the Mc's internal feelings and struggling with growing up. Being born a man but becoming a female while still a young kid is hard. The mc struggles with wondering if its ok for him to be a girl and like things that they do but not wanting to lose the male part of himself. Along with while he was a male he bullied girls, so his conflicted feelings only grow greater. The main point of the story is watching the Mc ... grow to accept themself while they figure out if their ok with staying a female. If your a fan of other GB manga like Boku Girl or Kanojo ni Naru Hi, then I really recommend this. A huge difference is that it starts while he's a really young kid, so you get to see her accept her change all the way up to junior high (Highest grade as of making this post).

My personally, I loved this. The only thing that left me annoyed was the ending. At the end it felt a bit rushed, like they could have made a couple more chapters but forced it to end here. Sure they tied up some looses ends for the characters and helped them understand the situation but it feels like it could have been better. Would definitely recommend giving this a read, if you don't like it within the first 1-3 chapters then its probably not for you. Either way 9/10 from me, would love to have an anime adaptation one day.
