Seriously Im Dal Young, WHAT!? You're starting a new series despite the fact that you have so many other series that are dead in the water due to your lack of chapter output? Finish off your older manhwa for heaven's sake. Mark my words potential readers, this series is going to last about 3 volumes if not less before stalling/entering hiatus like many of his other works. I've given up on reading anything this man writes because they ALL end in CRITICAL MASS DISAPPOINTMENT. If you cherish your time as well as your love of graphic novels, don't read this. It'll only take a chunk of your soul without any good return.

As much as I love Im Dal Young's work, Unbalance X2 being one of my favorite manga/manhwa, I have to question whether this was a good idea. He currently has Re:Birth, Onihime VS, Legend of Maian, Freezing, Phantom King, Aflame Inferno, Koimoku, and Kurokami (forgive me if I missed one but... there's a lot) all going at the same time. I really do like his work but he definitely needs to finish some of his ongoing series. Freezing is the only one that gets an even remotely steady stream of updates. As far as I'm concerned Phantom King and Onihime VS got so little attention at the start and still have so little support that there pretty much dead in the water, but Legend of Maian, Aflame Inferno, and Kurokami can still be wrapped up and considered good manga. The biggest problem is Re:Birth, the prequel to this newly released manga. The concept of releasing Sai:Taker while Re:Birth is still ongoing is intriguing and allows for a better understanding of the manga's "universe" but that doesn't work when you can't update either of them because you're playing catch up with your 6 year-old manga you failed to keep updated. As much of a rant as i just went on, the first couple chapters of this manga have been good and I do like the tie in with Re:Birth.

And I can't be the only one who wants a follow-up to Unbalance X2

And it's completely undeserved. Like "residentgrigo" and the "Wtf ?" comment rating it a 3 while admitting to not have read one word of the manga. Well then you're not qualified to give it a 3 are you? "OolonColluphid" says "*sniff* smells like a Kampfer ripoff". Well you know what I have to say to that? First of all, Kampfer sucks. I should know, I tried to read a little bit of it, years ago, and to watch the anime. I don't see what anyone sees in it. I skipped forward a few chapters and it was unreadable and boring, every part of it is insipid, my reaction to every part of it is idgaf. But you know what else? This series DOESN'T suck. So if you want to say this is a ripoff of that, well, then it drastically surpassed the original. It ISN'T a ripoff though. The plot is NOTHING like it other than that it's transgender. The guy is forced to stay as a girl 100% of the time for one thing, because he'll die after a few seconds otherwise, while in Kampfer it's just for battling with other kampfers, there's really no point to the sex change in Kampfer, it would be like, I don't know, if I turned into a woman, but only while driving a car and then I changed back at the end, it would be like, who cares, what am I going to do, try to play with myself while cruising on the interstate? It wouldn't affect my life at all. Well, except that I wouldn't match my driver's license, so I'd better not get pulled over (though I guess I'd change back if I stopped the car so it'd be ok). But the MC in this IS now a girl. Full time, no time off (I'm just going to say he and him to avoid confusion, since all the other characters around him are girls). And the premise isn't some pokemon style duel garbage that's always going on for no explainable reason that anyone should care about not even the characters involved, it's about the MC's life dealing with other people and events in the school. And then there are multiple love interests, namely his sister (I think she's adopted, it also refers to her as his cousin) and the stuck up and at first abusive leader of a club who tricks him into joining once she realizes she's done a bad thing to a good person, starts to like him and tries to be nice to him. It has about as much in common with Kampfer as it does with Ranma. At least so far. Only the first 8 chapters are available to me, for all I know in later chapters it becomes a total ripoff, but I doubt it.

So my conclusion is that all the detractors don't know a THING, they don't know what they're talking about at all. I look him up (the author) and I see a lot of things I've encountered before, and maybe that's why. Kurokami, that was an unremarkable anime. Unbalance/Unbalance, I wonder if that's the origin of the hater-anti-fans, not gonna lie, that thing put me to sleep. Freezing. Oh, so he did that, huh? Well damn, I wish THIS had as many chapters available as THAT! Onihime VS, boy did that have an insufficient ending. Weren't they supposed to eat his heart at the end of the year? They just seemed to forget or something. It just never got mentioned again and they lived happily ever after. The Legend of Maian. Well damn, that's something I haven't seen in a long time. There's something that outlasted its interest from me, I got tired of that at about volume 9 I recall, but it was mostly good up to that point. But anyway that's why I'm giving it a 10. It deserves a 9, but it doesn't deserve these bozos giving it 0 through 3 and making up lies about it or badmouthing it without even glancing at it. I'm not going to judge it based on the author's other works.

I actually inevitably ended up on this page because I was searching the internet for an anime series since often mangas that aren't available in English have a lot more material in an anime. I wouldn't be doing that if it wasn't very good. Alas not this one. I discovered this manga a few days ago when there was a new scanlation release. And that's saying a lot, I'm especially critical of things that have the man-turns-into-woman plot. But this one's good. The other one of those I like is Osananajimi Wa Onnanoko Ni Naare. Good characters in each, this and that. So give it a shot, and maybe if you're lucky maybe whoever just came by a few days ago and released chapters 7 and 8 in English after all this time, will do the rest of them.

The manga is interesting and I will always enjoy this guys artwork so I'll keep reading for that alone. I just wish this guy would finish something before starting a new one. He's lucky I don't read many manga that's for sure, it also helps that I have a pantyhose tights fetish and will continue to read for that alone, but the story is good and is funny I'll give it that.

What to like in this manga? Hmm, I don't know, its more like an "ecchi" manga rather than action.

Trashy, unlikeable characters (all the girls in SC are just bitches). MC is a useless piece of crap masochist. He tries to save/please them, but gets bullied/humiliated in return. Horrible.

"Its ok to abuse/humiliate the MC however we want coz he is a guy inside" this seems to be a recurring theme on MtoF genderbender mangas.

Waiting, waiting, waiting, and more waiting I wish some one more reliable then 13th hour translation would pick up this manga and continue it i love this manga and would love to continue reading it kinda wish Muda scanlation would pick it up since they did the Re:brith, the preequel to to this manga

This series has been pretty great so far, with a great art style and humorous moments here and there. And, yes, the author does start many projects at the same time, but they're still usually pretty good.

Normally, it'd be too early to judge the series to give it a ten, but I'll make an exception this time to keep OolonColluphid happy.

PS. Are there even any truly original series anymore? One can claim that shoujo high school manga/anime rip off one another, or that zombie/horror movies rip off other zombie/horror movies, due to having similar elements, even though they have different tones and storylines. Bleach itself started off as a "ripoff" of Yu Yu Hakusho, before evolving into what it is today. And Unbalance x2 rips off Onegai Teacher? Seriously, one has shounen sci-fi elements (and "standstills), while the other is a seinen (which, incidentally, is aimed at a male audience over 18) with bare comedic elements. Haters gonna hate, but trying to draw similarities between various manga/anime without even reading the subject material (which explains why the parallels drawn seem longshots) is just sad.

...but the main reason I'm neither reading nor rating this is because of the Description. It gives background on how things work, but isn't a good blurb for the plot. TIA to anyone who can fix this!

i really like this as the sequel to lunatic taker and i agree that he definitely has a lot on his plate as far as the insane amount of manwha's he has but i disagree with people calling him a "talentless hack" since you take the time to actually "read" his work you shouldn't be dissing his work just cause "you" don't like it or "you" have a problem with him doing so much at once it's very offensive and you're just pushing your own thoughts on ppl when u say "don't read this..... soul without any good return"

the art work is good as always, just wish this guy can do one decent story which actual does well without getting canceled or completly drop.

artwork 10/10
story concept and idea 7/10
story 1/10
enjoyjment 5/10
overall 2/10
