    Uesugi-kun wa Onnanoko o Yametai

    I'm confused what you're trying to express. Your wording implies the story is treating this possibility as surprising, but Uesugi in the second chapter states his odds of changing back are "almost zero/infinitely close to zero" (depending on the translation). You can still expect the story to...

    Uesugi-kun wa Onnanoko wo Yametai - Ch. 7

    @wyste : Besides catching up so fast, I'm very pleased with the schedule you're aiming for. Even more than speed (one week is still very fast!), I really appreciate a consistent release time, especially at the start of the weekend. The TL Note say the raw updates at "8:00am Japan Standard...

    Uesugi-kun wa Onnanoko wo Yametai - Ch. 7

    It's neat how the framing of Kei-chan's hair can make it look more or less like their male hairstyle. Like when they say they never thought Eito would call them "Uesugi", the long parts are mostly off-panel, in the back, or obscured by speech balloons. Some comments for chapter 4 figured...

    Uesugi-kun wa Onnanoko wo Yametai - Ch. 7

    Birth of a supervillain. Not that kind. (While we're on names: notice the pattern between Keisuke, Noel, and Yaemura (Eito)?

    Uesugi-kun wa Onnanoko wo Yametai - Ch. 7

    Lol you posted that as I was rushing to. Amazing job catching up like this. Anyway, 8 is a "lucky" number in Japan and several other East Asian countries, much like 7 is in America and such. So the top student having eight in his name twice isn't different than the short kid having "s/esu" in...

    Uesugi-kun wa Onnanoko o Yametai - Vol. 1 Ch. 6.5 - Hair is a Girl's Life?

    Mangadex lists this as "Chapter 6.5" because of the order of release, but it's not set between chapters 6 & 7, hence it's an unnumbered "bonus chapter" on Ciao+. I figure it could be any time between when Uesugi found out they can't make a second wish (end of chapter 2) and the mall visit the...

    Uesugi-kun wa Onnanoko wo Yametai - Vol. 1 Ch. 6

    This is the fucking funniest way for Uesugi to get their first unqualified win--and show that they're a bad student, but incredibly athletic. My own take is that "Kei-chan" would have handled the situation extremely similarly as a boy. I've never carried my phone in my back pocket. If I don't...

    Uesugi-kun wa Onnanoko wo Yametai - Vol. 1 Ch. 5

    Uesugi's asking the Big Question and enjoying the moment, but their luck thus far makes you question how long it'll last. Even besides the chapter's cliffhanger. Are you're saying the class think this was a mundane transitioning? I assumed they're like Uesugi's mom and sister, and just blithely...

    Uesugi-kun wa Onnanoko o Yametai - Vol. 1 Ch. 1

    Usually the girl form has a better character design, mostly because it either had more attention put in or because girls' fashion is more diverse. But Uesugi's so early in puberty that the only visible difference while clothed is their haircut, and I like boy Uesugi's haircut better even for a girl.

    Uesugi-kun wa Onnanoko wo Yametai - Vol. 1 Ch. 4

    It's an excellent demonstration of narrative priorities that Eito instantly convinces everyone that Uesugi really did get turned into a girl, and no one asks why. "What did mom tell the school?" is a great question that I'm not sure the manga can answer. Their big sister didn't look like she'd...

    Uesugi-kun wa Onnanoko wo Yametai - Vol. 1 Ch. 3

    First of all, is it out of the question that Keisuke was attracted to Eito before? Besides the "if I were a girl" phrasing, Keisuke's actual point was suddenly acknowledging Eito is hot after briefly getting jealous of him. Secondly, I can think of several that did, to varying results...

    Uesugi-kun wa Onnanoko wo Yametai - Vol. 1 Ch. 3

    Keisuke's masculinity dictates being terrified to look at articles of clothing on a display rack. I will emphasize Keisuke's feelings for Noel haven't gone anywhere; kid's down bad for both. (Also that the shining lights drawn around Eito from girl Keisuke's POV were a visual used when Keisuke...

    Uesugi-kun wa Onnanoko wo Yametai - Vol. 1 Ch. 3

    Definite applause for the determination, but don't burn yourself out. The manga finished its first volume a week before you put out chapter one, and it's not until next week that you'll have fallen a single chapter behind!

    Uesugi-kun wa Onnanoko wo Yametai - Ch. 3

    This is by someone different from either of the other translators. Speaking of, they just put out chapters two and three, holy crap. Shoujo has a long history of gender non-conforming themes--the author of Uesugi-kun has done multiple series centered on crossdressing boys. It's not a wild...

    Uesugi-kun wa Onnanoko o Yametai

    Yes, "Girls/Boys Love" are the usual terms. What I'm saying is the Ciao+ website has the tags "GL (Girls Life)" and "BL (Boys Life)". It's not defined, but seems to be used for both textual and subtextual same-sex romance. There's less than ten titles between them, but one of them is by the...

    Uesugi-kun wa Onnanoko o Yametai

    The last couple chapters of the raw can be summarized as "" Regardless of who "wins", girl Keisuke and Noel are absolutely a thing. The Ciao+ website even gives the series the "GL" tag; it nominally means "Girls Life" and not "Girls Love", but you can see what other things it's used for. Same...

    Uesugi-kun wa Onnanoko wo Yametai - Vol. 1 Ch. 2

    Fellas, is it gay to know your bro's face literally better than his own mother and to memorize the exact diameter of his wrist by touch? What Eito did do was catch Keisuke in his arm, drawn surrounded by the exact same sparkling lights that are showing up in this chapter right before girl...

    Uesugi-kun wa Onnanoko wo Yametai - Vol. 1 Ch. 1

    I guess this is a good time to mention the same TL tried to use transcripts I had made, but that didn't work out because the formatting was so different it wouldn't save any time. Your work is still very much appreciated, toxxable. It's sincerely interesting to read the two different...

    Uesugi-kun wa Onnanoko o Yametai - Vol. 1 Ch. 1

    The premise is quite similar to Boku Girl, but it's a very different vibe in shoujo than seinen. Which is good, because these are middle schoolers. It's also not as obvious about the protagonist's gender as Boku Girl, where the first chapter has Mizuki fantasize about wearing a fancy dress on...
