I saw who the author was for this and mentally went “of course”

Great to have you back, sensei

 

[sarusa]

Kashii's output is so damn formulaic. But here I am, hitting subscribe because it's cute. Thanks!

 

[ninjakai03]

classic mangaka LMAOO we are so back

 

[ScherisMarie]

I recognize this mangaka.

Based on their previous work, this should be an entertaining read for sure.

 

[Duck_]

Hell yea

 

[mahirofan]

Thanks for the chapter!

This is what happens when you put Magical Trans and Endro in the wash together.

 

[Flyingscorpion]

The demon lord and the hero should swap subordinates/party members. They'd get along so much better with the situation

 

[Rockets]

Welcome back, Karii and Zakuro!

 

[Cornonthekopp]

Sigh, another Kashii Yutaka manga. We all know the drill...

Bookmarked

 

[Lunkli]

Very excited to see another Kashii Yutaka serialization! Magical Trans is my favorite Genderswap manga, and this seems to be similar to it in all the right ways. (While also having what is hopefully a bit more of a marketable premise.)

This author sure does have one tempo and they do comit to it

I mean bookmark too but it would be nice to see it evolve a little

 

[ARealCoolGuy]

"I assumed our relationship would naturally progress"
Ah, so the sit around and do nothing approach didn't work?... who could have predicted that?

 

[Kyuketsuki]

Poor magis catching strays. He just wanted to support and dote on the demon lord in a pure way.

In their defense, evolution tends to come in repeated iterations of the same thing with a small difference getting emphasized over a long period of time. It isn't what Pokemon has poisoned a generation to think of the word as.

So what's the difference being emphasized this time around? The protagonist is way more assertive, likes their new form and there's no sure way to undo it. Karii had to answer to someone who could force her back into male form and in fact did so at one point on behalf of the transphobic* best friend. Magical Trans had an undercurrent of shame culture hanging over it -- that fantasy worlds do not goes a long way to explain why so many manga take place in them.

(*I'm not using the term here to mean hateful/bigoted but literally in the sense of expressing hostile aversion or discomfort towards someone being gender subversive. That can eventually become hate over time though.)
