Koujo Tensei: Densetsu no Dai Madoushi (♂), Hime Kishi to Narite Densetsu no Reijou Kishidan o Tsukuri Musou Suru - Ch. 1 - Princess Reincarnation

It's right up there with isekai when a it's just a standard fantasy setting that has nothing to do with it after the first two pages cover "I was a normal Japanese dude that got hit by a truck/died overworking". More tags, even if only technically relevant, means more search hits.

Yeah I was questioning if I should add that exemple to my message but even that does more cause at least the prota do not have knowlegde of the new world, so that does at least ONE thing.

In GB case it does nothing when it is not used, heck you could go and debate about it reducing the whole thing.
I am thinking about a recent magical girl GB one where a guy get magical girl power and show the girl how it is done and all (by being OP without any reason obviosuly you should not have to work for it), like super super patronazing and pretty digusting overall lol.
The whole women cannot do thing corretly so you need a man to take a women role to show them yeah...

Yes, it's an overly used trope. That being said, I judge it based on character setup and plot setup. Both, seem decent. So, worth a try? Yeah. There's been much, much worse😁

Even with my single brain cell i can tell, you can't train your muscle with gravity magic. What's the poin if you lift something that has weight of feather

It doesn't say anything about making the bed lighter, and especially not making it that light. Increasing the gravity, and thus weight, would be more in line with what's going on.
I'd be more concerned about the physical reinforcement spell interfering with muscle training.

"I'm so pathetically weak without a blessing, look at me de-atomize an assassin, punch a hole through the ozone layer and blow up New New New Namek with a mere flick of my finger, it's such a worthless ability..."

To be fair, that was the new body at that point.

What manga is this?

Funny how many people are pissed off about the gender bender not being utilised properly.

What does it being fully utilised mean for them? Do they want the MC to struggle with coming to terms with their new body? Struggle with being attracted to the "wrong" sex? Struggle to fit in a world that expects them to behave like their peers?

These people seem to simply want to read a different story. In this manga, the author wanted to tell this particular story. And to achieve having a female protagonist that, different from most other girls, has decided to swing a sword in a world where only men do so (implying women don't even entertain the idea), the author chose to make it a reincarnation story of a man who wanted to swing a sword but couldn't. The reincarnation bonus that couldn't be achieved by a baby in this case being the fact that the girl's magic is overpowered from the start.

Does the gender bender need to be more utilised than that? It's already clear that the "struggle" chosen by the author for this particular story is of the MC against what others believe she should be. It's clearly not the focus of the story, but it's present.

If you're unsatisfied with that, then this story simply wasn't written for you. Which is okay. No story is for everyone.

Already liking this, the moment I laid my eyes on it. 10/10, saved...

Being more than "I was a dude once... Anyway moving on".
If further chapters continue to address the matter, regardless of how, then it's actually being used. Otherwise it's just cynical search engine tag baiting.

I reckon you are not the target audience for this manga. You seem to expect something deep to be tackled in this comedy. Not to denigrate comedies, but this one is mostly focused on making the reader laugh.

Having skimmed through the raws, I can tell you that the gender bender is in fact being utilised, though mostly for comedy, since it's the reason the MC is unusual in his world.

Would it have worked if the MC didn't have the backstory of being a reincarnated man? Sure, but it would require extensive rewriting and would end up being a completely different story.

So yeah, I think you're being too cynical by saying that all the gender bender does is being bait. At least, I've seen way worse uses of the gender bender trope than this one.

My recommendation for you, who seem to only value serious gender bender stories, is to avoid anything with a "comedy" tag.

Also, try to have realistic expectations. It's not a "bad" story just because it wasn't written to fit your preferences. For me, this one is a 6/10 so far, but I'm still enjoying it because I'm experiencing it for what it is, not for what I expect/want it to be.
