I haven't read yet but I have to get this out of my head:

Sappho Scans... you are crazy LOL you really cleaned and typeset the cover of a shonen magazine of which very little is relevant to you

I'm going to be pretty salty if this manga behaves like Usotsuki Lily did for the first ~70 chapters though. "Haha I'm not a woman I just get severe dysphoria when I remember I have a ding dong xD"
The author mostly redeemed herself when mlm and wlw couples showed up later on

Edit: Also I'm supposing the reason this isn't tagged with Het or Bisexual is because it's unclear whether anyone in the main couple is either? Senpai is an Otokonoko was refreshing in that the girl was like "yeah I'm bisexual" instantly, although it is frustrating that it's not yuri

Edit 2: Alright I finished reading the chapter. Yeah, I don't think "love" and "estrogen" are that far off teehee (delusional headcanon about allegories)

Y'know what, I'm here for this

Y'know what, I'm here for this

I actually liked their chemistry a lot. With the first few pages you'd think the setup was "Oh I saw this cute girl and somehow she miraculously likes me back" but the premise of their feelings is pretty solid and they were given time to ruminate on it

That is one big chungus of a first chapter. Enjoyable though

Oh no everyone she kisses turns into a beautiful girl, what a terrible curse

The title is boyfriend sometimes girlfriend, so I'm going to assume he'll transform back (maybe with another kiss)

can't wait for chapter two. thank youuu for the hard work. that was a long chapter!

I don't know how to feel about the taped bag part, on one hand it really tugged at my heartstrings, on the other it turns out he was just a dofus

love me some gender bender

I'm here for this. The lead is a great character I like him a lot so I'm happy to see where this goes no matter the outcome!

Actually my guess is they TRADED genders. That would be wild.

This was absolutely adorable. I really loved it, super excited to see more.

What a massive chapter, my goodness.

I actually kept thinking, as I was going through the chapter, "this guy is really effeminate. He's like a Prince Character from any other yuri". I almost wish he hadn't changed so drastically, like his hair didn't grow, or anything. Just, boom. Girl.

The sudden Extreme Girlization feels very... early El Goonish Shive lol

I mean this in an entirely complimentary rather than critical way - holy shit, this did not need the supernatural element. The dialogue and characterization and expressiveness is so freaking good that even as somebody who rarely reads het romance, the hook provided by a gimmick was completely unnecessary because I was already completely captivated. This feels like it's in an entirely different class of quality than 95% of manga.

Not related but where does your pfp come from?

Ah this is so good

inb4 the main character is written like a trans woman but the series vehemently denies anything queer the whole time. (This probably will not happen.)

Hmm...Curious to see where this one goes. There's some good stuff, but I can never let myself get too hopeful.

Nah, you can see her on page 86 reacting to what happened, still in girl form. It also seems like she knew this might happen and that's why she was so hesitant to kiss.

woing

Either this author is goated and I need to read more of their work or Sappho Scans has absolutely outdone themselves this time. I imagine the real answer is both actually, lol. Wonderful work!!

big agree. This was very impressive.

Also I wonder if that cat bag thing was also something supernatural. Blood on the bag and dude picked it up and carried it for several blocks without feeling that it's empty?

Wholesome as HECK. And that lion thing was badass.
