COMMENT: 9/10 This is a coming-of-age story similarly to Shishunki Bitter Change. It's basically a boy who was a bully, got permanently gender-transformed to a girl, and has to live growing up with her new body. This is particularly good because, unlike other gender bender stories, the protagonist here is forced to adapt to the new body and slowly picks up more and more feminine characteristics. This series focus on character growth.
