Its finally over, I finally finished this master piece. After the live TL threads fizzled out I dropped it for a year, two years? Until I out of the blue remembered about it. I have never seen anyone suffer in a RomCon like Takeru suffered, Im glade he won Mizuki`s heart in the end. To be honest I am extremely sad its over but at least it didn't drag on forever like tomo chan.
I will have to say that I rank this manga in my top 5 anime/manga of all time, and im an anime doctor.
it's the best why can't i find other gender bender manga that are as good as this one
Jack Murphy
Stupid manga. Made me gay and not just for traps. Fuck you.
Charles Rivera
>That feel when no femboy (girl(boy)) to fuck
Don't worry im working on one, its western style though.
Dominic Lopez
So how'd it end? The trap stayed female and jock won? Kinda gay if so.
Matthew Howard
>Yfw the color chapter
Nathaniel Brown
>not selfinserting as the 'girl'
Nicholas Parker
Yeah, it was the best possible end. Its not like anyone else was competing for mizuki's heart though.
Im too handsome, it wouldn't be aesthetic for me to do that.
Mason Jackson
Wait, hold on.
This manga is finished?
Dominic Thomas
Yeah it finished a while back but last I checked there were some huge gaps in between chapters since that one guy that used to translate them on here had an autistic fit or something. I guess someone picked up the missing chapters and released them.
Sebastian Young
Huh, alright. Thanks for the heads up and thanks to the scanlators.
I can't seem to find the chapters on Batoto, though. Where'd everyone read them?
Zachary Smith
>ywn a super cute childhood best friend that turns in to a super cute girl.
This life sure is suffering.
Parker Sanchez
Anyone else feel like Mizuki would be much cuter if his/her hair wasn't pink?
Oliver Jackson
Tomo is a 4-koma, you subhuman nigger.
Hunter Wright
You alright there buddy?
Jeremiah Rivera
>redundancy
Christian Powell
A nigger with extreme strength would technically be a superhuman nigger. It's always good to be precise just to be on the safe side. Would that make them a superhuman subhuman?
Dylan Clark
I hated this because the protagonist is Mizuki so I inserted as him and then the manga started turning me gay even though the first chapter set the girl up as a love interest. Did it eventually just turn into a shoujo reverse harem manga?
Jackson Barnes
>drag on forever like tomo chan. Are you memeing? This had about 6x as much pages as tomo is up to.
David Ramirez
I was in every single live translation thread from the very beginning all the way to the one before the TL guy's meltdown and vanishing act.
It was pretty damn hype and the happenings were great, but we were always, as the audience, knowingly overselling our reactions to keep the TL guy's fragile ego on the hook. It was a necessary evil for a long time. Who else was gonna do it? The guy knew the language, and he had a reliable, timely source for raw scans.
In the end, he sperged out over someone else unrelatedly translating a special unimportant side chapter near the end of the series, and releasing it to the public before he could, and left all of us hanging without closure because he was that butthurt and egotistical. There were only like, what, 7 chapters left? 5? And he spat in our faces and left without a word. No explanation. Not even a goodbye. We had to dig to find out what went down.
This guy was the kind of guy who, if he had been in a scanlation group, would have been the sole source of drama that killed the group and each individual member's passion for scanlating by rotting it with his ridiculous autism from the inside out.
In a lot of ways, it tarnished the overall experience of what was otherwise a great genderbender manga with some fantastic moments, and I envy anyone who gets to discover, start, and finish the entire thing without having to even know about the bullshit from the live TL threads, and the sperg who ruined them before the end.
Henry Murphy
I discovered it after he had already disappeared but before he had finished. I was deeply dismayed that there was no translation for the end, but I imagine that it was probably worse for you based on your description.
Josiah Evans
I just pictured it as red all the way through
Andrew Jackson
Aereus was such a faggot. God that makes me so mad just thinking about it. Fuck him
Easton Flores
I need more good genderbend manga
Give it to me
Christopher Fisher
Mida Love
Jackson Powell
God damn this is good. Is Takeru best boy ever?
Ryder Miller
Was just about to post this.
It's shaping up to be pretty damn good. Taking its sweet time with the updates though.
Lucas Campbell
>I have never seen anyone suffer in a RomCon like Takeru suffered, Im glade he won Mizuki`s heart in the end.
Good taste
Kayden Baker
Loki did nothing wrong
If you're a man so feminine you consistently get mistaken for a girl despite trying hard to be manly, you may as well just become a girl
Jaxon Bennett
t. tranny
Noah Baker
In this case he literally became a fully biological giry girl though, that has to be better than living as a man so feminine all that changed when he became an actual girl was tits and no kitty.
Luke Brown
Him doing lewd shit with her were the best chapters
Elijah Hernandez
Here's the new one-shot of the author for the Weekly Young Jump. mangafox.me/manga/uchuuji_karabuki_kenzan/ >mangafox I know, I'm sorry. Main girl is SUPER hot. Hope it gets serialized.
Ryan Mitchell
>I know, I'm sorry. If you're sorry why didn't you give a batoto link?
Anthony Hall
I don't really read manga outside of mangafox (not counting physical), but I know it's hated here (even though I don't really know why) so I apologized.
Nicholas Howard
>batoto link That's as bad.
He should have provided a download link to the one shot.
James James
>That's as bad. Why?
Hudson Perez
The administration is shit, only allows manga that are approved by them and if they don't like your credit pages they ban TLs from uploading there.
Angel Bennett
Don't you also need an account to reader older releases?
Xavier Sanchez
That's the least of its problems.
Jack Wright
But wheres the porn
Ian Thompson
I thought it was all releases. Fuck batoto regardless. >wipe a series without batting an eyelash but keep the page to get more clicks
Angel Wilson
fuck off ousen
Jason Hernandez
Best possible end was trap end but they still got together.
Luis Reyes
Am I the only one who was deeply disappointed in the ending ? I was hoping for him to go back to being a guy, man up and get huge tits Fujiwara. I seriously expected the ending morale to be something like "You can like cutesy things, be a tiny little trap and still be a full-fledged man. Manliness is about the heart !", instead of this "liking cute things means you're a girl even if you're not".
Jeremiah Edwards
>if they don't like your credit pages they ban TLs from uploading there Ahh, I forgot about this one. They also delete some licensed series and some don't. It's still much better than mangafox though.
Lucas Cooper
>It's still much better than mangafox though.
Except when you want to read a series that for some insane reason has been deleted from batoto.
Just don't give them clicks.
Ryan Richardson
That went flying out the window when Takeru couldn't even follow his own advice.The second his friend turned into a girl, he started to develop feelings for his friend and liked him as a girl like the rest of the world.
That reminds me, if everyone else likes you better as a girl, it's probably better to give up on your manhood. No matter how much your protest, that's just the way things are now.
Anthony Nelson
I use mado in that case.
Brandon Diaz
>mado ...the document editor Chrome application?
Jordan Robinson
Someone spoil me how it ends please
Isaiah Lee
Becomes a real girl and ends up with the guy
Sebastian Walker
Of course not.
Isaac James
there are some but the art is garbage (at least for me) since you can't really tell a girl from a boy, and it kinda defeats the point of gender bender if the girl(boy) is not feminine looking
Asher Carter
was it homosexual?
Jaxon Campbell
this. Made me mad to see the ending.
Some told me that this is probably my first ever gender-bender manga and that maybe i should have seen it coming. Well i kinda have, but that still doesn't make me any less mad.
Maybe gender-bender mangas don't appeal to me save for some specific situations. This is not one of them. Absolutely infuriating.
Christopher Morgan
>her
Josiah Edwards
It's garbage.
Colton Campbell
>has pussy and womb Girl
Benjamin Nelson
You can say the same thing comfortably to the lady boys in Thailand, right?
Virtually no penises, just artificially installed breast and vaginas. Almost like Mizuki.
Nathaniel Turner
The TL threads were the best. What even happend to Aereus? Did he really die going to the corner store?
Justin Adams
Lot of gays in this thread. This was pure gold.
Elijah Parker
Lady boys have vaginas now?
Noah Kelly
>What even happend to Aereus He got analravaged that some user sniped the oneshot.
Easton Hill
>calling a mutilated penis turned into an internal pouch a vagina
That's stretching the definition of vagina.
Grayson Jackson
Dropped this about a year ago as well. Did they ever acknowledge how both these guys are homos?
Luis Mitchell
(Almost) the same thing for Mizuki. Men mentality, people. Ok look, if Mizuki had his memory wiped before changing permanently and/or went for someone else instead, sure.
But the gender-bender manga disappoints me by reminding me that Mizuki still remembers life as a boy, and falls for the best friend instead.
That infuriates me.
Jaxon Bell
Please be fucking joking, that's it? The weekly comf disappeared because of that?
Elijah Brown
Being a girl physically means you'd be hard-wired to like boys. How the hell is it not normal?
Angel Allen
Almost the same? Mizuki has a real girls body which she magically got from a god Its not the same by a long shot
Isaiah Bailey
Its not normal purely because Mizuki used to have the memory of living as a boy. That doesn't affect whoever he is attracted to as a girl, but it means that Mizuki was never really reborn as one.
I'll state my point again and you can call me whatever you like, but if Mizuki was reborn in the sense of having no memory of living a life as a boy / altered memory then its fine. Even the part where he falls for his best friend is fine with me when that happens.
I mean im saying its not normal in the sense that its gay, but like you dont just play a prank and change sex of somebody physically and somehow let them get the runs seeing the best friend as a man. And that best friend has always been with you now becomes your lover?
Alexander Scott
I'm glad I was able to get her.
Anthony Cox
>Mizuki didn't get the D in the last chapter
What a disappointment. The last lewd scene was in like chapter 88.
Jace Cook
That's... pretty much what the manga is about
The two of them first discovering the physical attraction, then the slow transition from friendship to romantic interest, complete with all the awkwardness and feelings of guilt that come with it
Jonathan Rivera
I was referring to that ladyboys having artificially constructed "vaginas" doesn't qualify them as women, and so does Mizuki, not because of the body that was given, but because of the mentality and memory he still had.
You know how there are wwyd threads where the question was "what would you do if you woken up as a girl one morning?" and most people probably say masturbate or some slutty activity. They obviously still had mentality of a man wanting to know what its like inside a woman's body. That's not the case for Mizuki, but im not saying that should happen.
Nathaniel Watson
>some user Jag did.
Joshua Cook
Like I said, all that I said is just my two cents. Call me whatever you like, but this manga's ending was not what I came for when I first opened it.
Again, my fault for not knowing gender-bender genre long enough, but what I initially expected was that Mizuki turns back in the end and thinks of it as a weird phase to tell as a story, maybe with comedic elements more than just ecchi/fanservice. (Just a prank bro)
Asher Wright
Nice time post
Owen Kelly
You do know lady boys still have dicks right
Cooper Jones
Dont nitpick on that. I wont assume all have "vaginas".
Hunter Robinson
They don't have wombs. This isn't something done surgically. It was magical. Checking chromosomes, you'd definitely get back XX and not XY.
Brayden Lopez
Does that mean Mizuki can't have any children?
Christopher Russell
Ok I want to rephrase what I said. Since its a prank , Mizuki has to have retain the memory of living as boy to realise the depth of the situation. However that is exactly what makes it unnatural for Mizuki.
Mizuki can have children of course, but does he want to honestly? When I said "almost like Mizuki", I meant that just like artificially constructed breast and "vaginas" don't make ladyboys real women, changing sex physically doesn't make Mizuki a full-fleshed woman either, this time because of the mind.
You think Mizuki wanted to be a girl in the first place. When he was offered the choice to turn back, did you even think that he only fell for Takeru in the first place because he stay'd inside a girl's body for too long, like was saying.
Noah Stewart
I haven't actually finished this manga, was just curious.
I agree with you though. I always thought this manga was some sort of social experiment. Mizuki, takeru and the main girl all view Mizuki as a boy after his transformation and constantly refer to him as a boy too. Then I'd come into a thread here and people are all refering to Mizuki as a girl. It's weird. And then apparantly he ends up with Takeru too. Being a girl is more than liking cute things and having your genitals magicall switched to that of a girl's. It's brain chemistry and -make-up.
Cameron James
And i sort of understand its appeal and why its popular in the gender-bender genre, its just that because of this precisely, it doesn't appeal with me. Im not saying "its utter shit" as a fact, but an opinion.
And that social experiment thing too. I'd like it if there were more gender-bender mangas with the prank-comedy altitude / social / experimentation.
Xavier Garcia
what about the change in hormones testosterone and estrogen levels will not only alter your body but the way your brain works as well
therfore you could say, his body changed overnight but his brain changed over time
Isaiah Price
i was kinda dissapointed not about the ending per se, but how fast everything closed up
I had the felling that there could have been more story (disciplinary-chan for example)
Angel Parker
Refer to The changes in hormones are only possible because the chromosomes in Mizuki's body were XX. Now that wouldn't happen of course if the prank never took place. Even if the mentality changed, the fact that Mizuki still had the old memory of being a boy plus falling for Takeru made me drop it at the end.
Its like brainwash, you know? If it were a fantasy stuff where it wasn't a prank, Mizuki just flat out had no memories of living as a boy, immediately goes out with a woman-like altitude and makes a move towards Takeru as a romantic interest strictly, with not even a "used to be best friend" thought in hindsight, then sure its more understandable.
Hunter Taylor
>Refer to oops, thanks
>If it were a fantasy stuff where it wasn't a prank, Mizuki just flat out had no memories of living as a boy, immediately goes out with a woman-like altitude and makes a move towards Takeru as a romantic interest strictly, with not even a "used to be best friend" thought in hindsight, then sure its more understandable.
but Takeru would still have the memories about the male Mizuki, so he probably wouldn't have the help him hide his gender, which leads to less time spent together and less romantic development, because he would have rejected the new female Mizuki
Noah Evans
Estrogen doesn't change your male brain into a female brain though. Mizuki considers himself to be a boy at the beginning of the manga and still does after many weeks of being transformed so it's safe to assume he wasn't born with a female brain like transexuals usually are.
So then the question is, did Loki change the way his brain is structured as well as his genitals? If so that raises some serious morality issues that are probably too deep for this manga.
As I understand Mizuki is given the option to change back, which means he was a girl when asked. And that's what's fucked up, he should have been changed back to a boy, maybe given some weeks to adjust and then be asked which he'd prefer. Which would be to stay whatever he is at the time of asking. You take the manliest man alive and completely change his body and brain to that of a female magically and he'll too would want to stay girl because that's how his brain functions now.
Hunter Gonzalez
There was a chapter where takeru realized that he loves Mizuki regardless of gender. I think it's when the whole gang visited takeru's home.
Brayden Brooks
the hormone thing is more of a butterfly effect thing
changes in hormone levels won't change your brain, true, but it certainly can change behaviour. even just small things, like giving in to dressing girly or being a little more submissive can make big changes over time. see Mizuki thinking/dreaming about sexual stuff with Takeru while being a girl
Thomas King
Or the other example was when Mizuki was sleeping in takeru's bunk and his scent caused her to get turned on.
Jaxon Russell
don't think he would have kissed and tried to screw a male Mizuki
David Turner
yes we should have more boku girl threads, they remind me of good things and stimulate my brain
Camden Reed
Estrogen actually has fairly little effect on behaviour. It's primary function is regulating the reproductive system. It's true that Mizuki would become more submissive but that's an effect of losing testosterone, since it's test that causes increased assertiveness.
If you force a normal man to take estrogen everyday he won't suddenly become more girly or gay or want to dress like a girl. He'd probably just become depressed and less aggressive/assertive. And probably have a decreased sex drive too.
Justin Barnes
And more fat.
Ayden Reed
and again, this means that the upsurge of estrogen levels, while a given addition with female bodies, does alter Mizuki's brain eventually big time. This doesn't make Mizuki gay whenever scenario like this happens, but its the estrogen levels that comes along with the female body that causes it.
Would Mizuki still thought of that when he is still a boy? of course not. Its all in Mizuki's head, all this time.
