Ore ga Watashi ni Naru made

cute wholesome and really shows the thoughts of a boy turned into a girl. i think it is the most realistic gender bender i have ever read

I'm a bit hesitant to rate this since it isn't finished yet. So I'll probably come back and update my review once it finishes!

 I am going to first sing its praises since I have a lot. This story deals with transness in a way I haven't seen from many other genderbend stories. You watch the main character grow into a beautiful person and you get to explore their gender with them. As a person who's dealt with being transgender it really hit a lot of soft spots in my heart. I was lucky enough to have a supportive family so some parts of it I couldn't understand. But I understood a lot of parts, especially as a person who was deeply ashamed of myself. Not just in terms of gender, but how I used to treat others around me. Some days I struggled to allow myself to live freely wondering if I even deserved that right.

Now to one of the points I feel like I should touch on. Sometimes it deals with more mature topics, and I feel like that's fair as the topic of gender identity and womanhood is bound to have mature topics. Some people might find it weird considering the characters are young. And I won't deny that some of the scenes feel out of place and probably more fanservice-y than others. I don't think these scenes should be disregarded or ignored completely as they are still part of the story and were included.

But I will say that these scenes talking about more mature topics talked about, including changes in one's body and s*xual topics aren't at fault here. It's a central part of the story especially when the theme about it is essentially puberty. Young people deserve to know about the changes that are happening to their body, they deserve to be informed about these things. Otherwise they'll seek it out on their own and possibly find harmful things. But that's enough of my lecture.

TDLR: This is one of the best genderbend stories I've read so far. I hope it continues to update a lot more! So please give it a read through if you feel like it!
