I'm still on the side line wondering if I should continue to follow.

BRO WHAT this is great, the 2 mcs have such a great dynamic, I like them both, and it's so wholesome too, almost feel like the gender bender or the yuri factor isn't even necessary lol

I'm confused.... Is her father permanently stuck as a woman? Or are her parents just making out all the time so it's always the case? Because they said there's no precedent for someone becoming stuck but the story seems to imply her father is unable to become a man again.

It was weird that he didn't want to go to parents day at Chihaya's school because he was a woman at the time... Like... If the curse lasts 24hours max can't you just NOT kiss your wife for a day?

Maybe he wants to stay permanently as a woman now, so a kiss a day keeps the dick away¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I suggest reading the speech bubble again:

"To change forever from just a kiss? Currently there's been no precedent for that."

Meaning "just a kiss" is not enough for a permanent change. The permanent change happened, it's just not yet explained how.

Another clue is on pg 28:

"I knew what the risks were. With the Shishizaki curse. Being with Chisaki. And I married her anyway. But when it actually happened, I didn't really understand what I was getting into. I was really concerned with what my children might think."

The "but when it actually happened" bit refers to the permanent change.

My first thought was the sex, but Shishizaki has an older brother, so that rules it out. Wonder what's causing the permanent change? Room for speculation there, heh

What an actual chad holy shit

Could be a twin. Although honestly thinking about the mechanics of this curse gives me a headache, so I think I'll just ignore the specifics.

MC giving me egg trans girl vibes.

Literally I was just thinking this. Like, I'm pretty sure that is not how we are supposed to read the character, but it's nonetheless a little suspicious.

"Damn, I get turned into a girl whenever I kiss the girl I love... oh no... how terrible..."

Sounds like the fantasy of a transbian egg to me ;)

I see this as an absolute win. XD

This manga fucking owns

Lmao. I like to think in a comedic mindset that, Someone/something had been so pissed at being yuri-baited by a Shishizaki girl long ago that they decided to curse the entire bloodline and just settled with “If I can’t have Yuri fully, Visual yuri is fine” and went with the bittersweet ending lmao.

The latest raw is lit lmao.
Well that's only 4 more chapters to catch up

This is absolute madness and I love it. I need more of this

I like that idea

we went from "everything i said about wanting to be a girl was a lie" to "i feel like ive grown as a person" pretty quickly

Somehow, I don't believe the MC when he says he's lying about wanting to become a girl. XD

And damn, I guess there's another curse bearer out there. I wonder how long it'll be before we find out who the mystery girl is, and if she's related to Shishizaki in some way, or there are multiple families with the curse.

So we get "lying" about wanting to be a girl because depending on how this story goes that could really end up being lying but only Akizuki to himself, lmao.

Then we get Akizuki listening in on the delinquents who talk about how completely plugged out he always acts, and Akizuki going "hmm yeah before I met the love of my life I was just constantly spaced out and don't really remember" which reads as if he was just in a constant fugue which is interesting.

And of course bra shopping which has Akizuki find some surprising enjoyment/happiness in it by the end, cute!

Lastly the incredibly funny conversation with Tsubakida in which the delinquent ends up thinking "woah that's guy's scary I don't want to get involved with him" ending the chapter with I suppose the reveal that there's at least one other family member walking around who also would just kiss someone while sleeping, I suppose we'll have to see where that goes.

love a bisexual queen and her trans/genderfluid boy/girlfriend

That dude with the pointy teeth sure is hot as a chick. Wow.

Well, if there's one thing you gotta love about this manga is that apparently everyone is bi.

So we get "lying" about wanting to be a girl because depending on how this story goes that could really end up being lying but only Akizuki to himself, lmao.

I'm a little disappointed that right after this 100% trans girl scene we get a "I lied about wanting to become a girl." Feels like there's no chance they'll make the main character trans, it'll all be "I don't care about any curse as long as you love me"

reveal that there's at least one other family member walking around who also would just kiss someone while sleeping

That was okay, but honestly, what I'd really love to see is some boy who has the opposite type of curse. That would be super cute. Is there yaoi like that already? Please send it to me if there's any.

It's kind of sad the author hasn't considered just having the main character dress like a guy while still physically being female. He doesn't need to wear a bra, he can just wear a binder. His hair gets long he can just cut it and style it like a guy.

It also would probably be better if they just fucking broke up. It's high school. He'll probably find someone better in college or whatever.

Meanwhile she can actually go out and seek a out a girlfriend who's pre-transition. Someone who is 100% fine with eventually turning into a girl.

gonna say, my hopes is that the deliquent story with the mystery gal is gonna be funky^^

Ngl, the first 2 chapters where doubtful, but this one was really neat, I'm now very inerested in the story, as a man with gender disphoria I feel identified at various scenes. Hope the story keeps going this "yuri" path even if he dosen't end up as a girl permanently. Also the art is gorgeous and I'm curious with the delinquent story, overall really good.

Gotta say, the protagonist accidentally making his girlfriend think he's a trans woman is one of the funniest premises for a manga like this I've ever seen. Interesting that permanent transformations DO happen.
Also, the sharp tooth guy feels like he has more depth to him than you might expect. I doubt he really cares that much about whats going on between Akizuki and Chihaya. Also, very cute as a girl! Curious how that happened though, did a Shishizaki cousin kiss him while he was asleep?

^ Yeah, I bet shark boy saw a bit of someone he knows in Akizuki. He's bothered about how dispassionate he is specifically, thinks Shishizaki is hot, and was kissed by someone with the curse...
You are not fooling anyone, buddy.

Pretty sure shark boy is gay and has an unconscious thing for Akizuki.

And when he's turned into a girl, he/she will get helped by Akizuki and will fall even harder.

Also, stop trying to shoe in gender politics in a manga (who's trans, who's an egg, who's a woman or not..). It's rarely the actual topic of this kind of genderbender/genderswap manga. Japanese authors are not playing by your rules.

Akizuki seems pretty obviously like a trans-esque character: if they really had a solid male identity, being turned fully into a girl temporarily would make them not want to do that again, and they'd especially flee when learning about the PERMANENT GENDER LOCK TO GIRL. No romance is worth lifelong gender dysphoria. Instead, Akizaki is anxious but also a fully willing participant and is growing to be comfortable with transition more and more. This is not a character tied to being a man lol. Actual men would not take this bargain. If you think you're a man and would take this bargain, you should discuss this with your therapist and start thinking deeply about your gender identity, because there might be some stuff about yourself you haven't realized before lol.

There's been explicitly trans manga and trans mangaka for decades some of it translated and on this very website. Just because you don't know it doesn't mean it's not out there. This dumb trope that queer identities as we know them in the West don't really exist in Japan is very silly and very easily disproven by obvious evidence. And those real existing groups of people in Japan more and more are actually influencing art like the gender bender genre, as authors become more informed about the real possibilities they were only imagining before.
