THIS MANGA IS WOKE?! THAT'S AWESOME
This manga has literally been deconstructing gender binary propaganda since chapter 1 lol. There have been many chapters now that discuss what it means to be a man/woman and decoupling identity from one's genitals.
One of the more LGBTQ+ friendly manga I've read, particularly because it incorporates the subject as part of its comedy/action without undermining the message (ie not taking the easy route and making everything the butt of the joke like so many works do).

How exactly did reversal devil interrupt Herma's "sacred training"?
Last chapter she said "A change in sex poses no hindrance to my usual training"
Is this "sacred training" any different from the usual?

I am convinced that Gyno never actually turned into a girl and the fairy was just fucking with him.

Woke this, anti-woke that. We're reading a manga about a girl that tried to use her green trunk sized dick as an actual weapon. It's just a comedy manga using popular japanese porn tags as joke material. It ain't that deep.

The manga has explicitly made several statements on gender, sexuality, identity, and more.
One of Gyno's primary conflicts deals specifically with whether or not it's okay for all women to have penises.
All of the main male characters in the story are also incredibly accepting of women with penises.
Psallus is literally the embodiment of a chaser, and the author comments directly on it by having Gyno refute his ideology of seeing women as just genitals.
Henrica's entire motivation is clearly rooted in sexual reproduction, which some have speculated is likely because her partner is a woman.
In this very chapter the characters literally explicitly discuss gender roles and love and how they're defined by us and not biologically determined.
And I could go on.

You don't just make these statements in a vacuum, and they're not played off as jokes, either.
This isn't even analyzing it deeply, it's just reading the words on the pages.
Did you know that just because something is a comedy doesn't mean it can't have a message?

Every work has something to say, some more than others.
This one clearly is trying to emphasize these messages of sex positivity and inclusion.
Engage with the work you're reading. I promise it's fun.

It's a comedy manga but you can't be funny the ENTIRE time so you add something a little serious, like a romance plotline, add a little weight by having the romance interact directly with the main conflict and throw in a few characters that challenge your main characters, their goals and ideals especially. This is storywriting 102.

Even if the author seriously wanted to make a statement or two those are CLEARLY taking a backseat to the characters and the comedy.

Now you're moving goal posts.
I never said the subjects in question were the primary focus (although they do get a spotlight in specific chapters), just that they are very clearly present themes that are taken seriously (because they remain consistent and are addressed directly) and that the story overall is supportive of gender-non-conformity.

Engaging with the messages of a comedy doesn't make the comedy any less relevant or funny. So much comedy out there has underlying messages, and this is just one of those. It's funny and silly, but it is also overall sex positive, and that's cool. What's so wrong with saying that? Does it somehow nullify the entertainment value the story has?

I feel like you're trying to say this is just a silly comedy with nothing going on because you're so entrenched in escapism that all works of fiction to you must be devoid of any real word subjects (ignoring the fact that stories are written by real people with thoughts, not mindless robots, so they inherently can't 100% get rid of the author's subjectivity, and they also exist in the sociocultural context they were written in and are thus molded by it in some way). Or perhaps you're just one of those people who think anything besides heteronormativity is political and/or scary?

Either way, I'm not sure why you're so hung up on this when what I've said in no way diminishes the value you can get out of this work. If you really think this is that soulless and has no message then you do you, but I personally like to see the care and thought that was put into this story, to take the author as a person with thoughts and emotions he wants to express, and to believe the words laid on the pages mean real things and aren't just throwaway gags all the time, because so far that's how it has presented itself to me. They make the work better, not worse.

THIS MANGA IS WOKE?! THAT'S AWESOM gender identity
When you're reading the funny dick manga but it low-key start getting kinda deep with its discussion & commentary of gender identity & expression and how it clashes with societal expectation and the expected norm and how it might impact how an individual develop their self image.
