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.
