The guy's reasoning for Yuuki having the disorder is completely stupid. The Mino one at least has some sense of logic.
Here's hoping we focus on the angst between the main characters and not those guys anymore.

Yuuki is a was a girl who liked girls and became a guy which she hates.
Pretty sure that Yukki and Mao tried dating after Yukki's change.

I think Yukki likes being a guy but finds his seemingly strong libido disgusting. Which may be in part due to Mao's reaction to their attempt at intimacy.

There's no way Mao wouldnt know Yuuki got the disease if they're childhood friends. How would one not notice the girl they hanged out with throughout their childhood suddenly became a man.

Tbf, it's a pretty romcom trope like "This tomboy/'boy' i grew up with is some huge chested gyaru now?!" and vice versa with a teen 'crossdressing' boy BL or so

tho this story is a bit more serious than that

The guy's reasoning for Yuuki having the disorder is completely stupid.
I mean, is there actual reasoning for it (although i feel like there'd be other ppl that would dislike him, other than some 'clever demon' youkai, slant eyed charas are usually kinda untrustworthy [ironic given that asian artists choose to portray it that way then again growing up with asian parents some times ppl hate other asian ppl more than 'distrusting foreigner's but that's a whole nother can of worms]), wasn't it stated to be 'random' as opposed to only ppl that 'wanted' it (which if only, free sex change/hrt would be something some ppl would take in a heartbeat considering how pricey it can get even if ur living in a place where they 'accept' lgbt ppl/allow ppl to take puberty blockers/etc)


oof love triangle drama? tho i assume MC would accept it knowing if yuuki used to be a girl/might end up being bi if she's still attracted to the female friend if she ever 'turns back' (then again there's no romance tag so i suppose this means there won't be any dating, which is fine since the story's still interesting but hopefully it'll work out for the end whether she decides to live as a 'man' or transition back/dress feminine if for some reason ppl can't get a sex change operation in case the 'disease' makes it too risky)

God, that jackass needs some proper retribution. Comedic violence isn’t doing enough.

Considering he mentioned himself he three timed he'll get stabbed by another girl one of these days. I don't necessarily want it to happen as a 'punishment' but it would be kinda ironic if he suddenly got affected by the genderbend disease too

Wait. Im thinking here. So yuuki and mao were childhood friends. So they were friends back when Yuuki was a girl?

But they seem distant. Did they date when Yuuki became a guy and things ended poorly.

Is that why things seem awkward when those 2 are together.
For what we've seen, Yuuki made himself a completely different person after he had that disorder. We even saw that he changed his name. I think It's a matter that Yuuki buried everything he could of his past, which put his previous friends, like Mao, in an awkward position.

other than some unisex name, you kinda have to (hopefully you're not charged to when you have to change an id/legal name esp since most ppl don't seem to have a choice on whether it happens to them), if his original name was something 'super feminine' to begin with like Sakura or Hanako (unless it just changed from Yuki to Yuuki or so lol) I wonder if we'll ever meet the twin sister?? tho (if we have before i don't remember xP) huge cliche trope in animanga aside, being friends during elementary school might not mean much when ur in high school when ppl naturally drift apart and have diff classes/join diff clubs/after school jobs etc

Although 'high school drama' aside i wouldn't mind to see like something set in this same universe revolving around older protags too, if the author decides to expand the story more

Yuuki is his family name. He changed his given name to Nagisa (Ch. 7). It used to be Asuna.

Wait a minute... Yuuki Asuna...? :wtf:

I may be wrong here and fell to a trap by the author.

Mao does know yuuki has the sex change disorder. When mino mentioned that he consulted yuuki because he "had a friend who experienced it", mao knew yuuki lied and she went along with it creating the 4th childhood friend.

She also had the thought "what do you mean childhood friend" because they weren't just that. They dated. I'm assuming yuuki is her ex, the one she mentioned to mino that went bad because all they did was have sex. Its the same chapter that mino had a flashback where mao said she'll support her love on yuuki. Reason to why she called them liars too.

I'm pretty sure Yuuki is literally a "lesbian trapped in a man's body".

Yuuki loathes everything about men and was attracted to Mao before the change. The male body reacts to fantasies about fucking Mao, but Yuuki hates it and finds it disgusting. That much is pretty obvious.

Mao lied and invented a fourth childhood friend on the spot to protect Yuuki's own lie. I think Mao likes the current Yuuki, but Yuuki is too full of self-loathing to date her.

So yeah, the one with a massive gender dysphoria is Yuuki, compounded with the fact she's a lesbian. She said she regretted not going for the treatment at the time. Fate really did her a dirty one.

So, closed-eyes guys is right. Everyone is lying: Yuuki, Mao, Mio and Rinko.

How Rinko will turn out in the end is anyone's guess though. She seems to be more preoccupied about how other people view her ("maybe she'll think I'm gross") than about the male attachment or the libido.

What do you mean? I see shitheads like him in the comments all the time.

They are very much real, and far worse than the toned down version this story shows.
forced attempt to advance the plot

(his batman-like deduction pulled out of his ass proves it).

Ok, time to cut his vein because his gender, like the author previous manga
Please don't. I am really glad the author tried to make another gender bender. The previous one had interesting ideas, but escalated immediately and ruined itself that way.

This is a manga clearly inspired by what it is to be trans and shitheads trying to put trans people on blast going "actually you're not a real man/woman" is a common occurrence. This is not forced, this is a reality. Using that reality to create drama is fine.

God forbid writers make things happen to "advance the plot".

I feel like people here are forgetting the detail that we saw Yuuki’s back full of signs of abuse, they probably have a very good reason to distrust men and not just “feminist hates men”.

Besides the obvious fact that Yuuki has male friends so that assumption doesn’t land no matter what angle you use.
