damn, where do you find those? Most stories I've read people either turned into a girl/boy randomly without rhythm or reasons and definitely not what they want or even expect. (not counting the isekai story where the MC got turned into a girls for no reasons btw)

like this for example

Though most genderswap stories I read usually lean more onto the serious sides of things: here (1) are (2) some (3) examples (4)
EDIT: actually, (3) is bodyswap but the whole "holy shit I'm now the opposite sex" thing is also there.

Also this series is new but it handles the comedy and the seriousness of the situation quite well.

i read the second example and i kinda hate the implication of guy to girl=straight when the author had to make that point to fucking clear for my liking, like another character said she still loves girls only for the author to HINT at her liking a guy at the end




also this one too!! it has an side couple were the character she is in an relationship with a women, but the author had to make it sure that she lost her attraction to women but is in love with this women as if to say she is now a“straight women” but not for now cuz stupid reason, some Japanese author had to come up with to not mention gay people exist and a guy turning into women doesn’t mean she will now like men!, also ironically this story take the gender change quite seriously! but still hate the idea of stories like this were they changing sexuality to match stupid hetero norms ugh, reading the story made me feel like my current life as an Trans women >.> hits quite at home, minus the idea of becoming hetero for men, that i will never understand.

On page 4 of chapter 1, the protagonist expressed a wish to be born as a girl because they envied female friendships so much. Their life was also explicitly shown to be extremely unfulfilling, as the protagonist was an awkward mess with seemingly no friends. Like I genuinely wonder if you got this manga confused with another one.

Took me forever to remember to respond to this one. Sure, dude was awkward, but a single fleeting thought of envy during a moment of self-doubt does not equate to a life-altering wish. Imagine if an awkward teenager were to have their wish taken seriously every time they thought "I wish I was never born."

Your original post wasn't about "life-altering wishes." You said the protagonist was "pretty satisfied with his life" and that they never expressed that they needed anything to change. This is clearly false; the protagonist was clearly extremely socially awkward and had no friends. It was not a "moment of self-doubt"; they said "if I were a girl maybe my life would be fun," indicating they didn't consider their life to be fun.

Also, like, we literally only had two pages showing their life pre-genderbend. It was a deliberate authorial decision to show the protagonist spending those two pages awkward, unpopular, and self-loathing. We can extrapolate that that's what they were like all the time. That doesn't mean they have a "life-altering wish," but it certainly means they weren't at all satisfied with their previous life.

Maybe that's what it is about the story that frustrates me so much. We had almost no time with the MC before his life got changed, so we're forced to assume a lot from very little. It then puts him in a situation that he's clearly very uncomfortable with and makes the only person we see on his side, his mother, basically say "deal with it, this is better for everyone." I dunno, I know it's just a fan-service series, so there shouldn't be any emotional investment, but I just wish the boy could get some kind of actual support for the fact that his entire old life is basically taken away from him without his consent.

While I do think you are perhaps taking a dumb fanservice manga too seriously, I also think "assuming a lot from very little" is often expected of you in media. Like I said, since those 2 pages are all we know of the MC's previous life, it's safe to assume they're an accurate reflection of what the MC's life was indeed like -- namely, that they were an awkward mess with no friends who longed for "intimate female friendship." The rest of the manga is a pretty typical genderbend premise in that the MC is initially resistant to the change but as time goes on they become more and more used to their new identity. The exact gender identities at play in genderbend stories are often pretty ambiguous, I'm just confused why you chose this story to complain about it when it's not really any different from the dozens/hundreds of other genderbend manga out there. There are very few genderbend manga that actually take their premise seriously, so if you're interested in such a thing, I recommend Until I Become Me and We Are Former Girls.

Oh, that's an easy one. I choose this one to complain about because of the goddess and the mother.
In most genderbend manga, the cause is an unknown source, like in Onii-chan Is Done For or I Am My Wife, is caused by a disease and they have no choice but to adapt, such as in Until My Best Friend Who Became a Girl One Day Becomes Happy and the one you mentioned, We are Former Girls, died and were inexplicably genderswapped in reincarnation, like A Transmigration Vampire would like to take a Nap, I Don't Really Get It, But It Seems Like I Was Reincarnated In Another World!, and From The Strongest Dark Knight ♂, Changed Job Into Combat Maid ♀, or changed without consent by an antagonist who becomes the end goal for the person genderswapped to find and make turn them back, like in Don't Call Me a Naked Hero in Another World and Life with an Ordinary Guy Who Reincarnated into a Total Fantasy Knockout (granted, that one's goal is defeating the demon king, not the goddess that changed him, but the point still stands). Here, however, we have a Gyaru Goddess who very much falls into the last category of transforming without consent and then tells the MC that she's not gonna change back because she has to recharge, as if it's not her problem or her fault.
This would be aggravating enough, but then the mother came in and, immediately after confirming it was her son, threw clothes at him and said he was transferring schools. Not even a single panel shows any remorse from the goddess or any concern or actual support from the mother. Our MC has his entire life upheaval without consent and nobody cares about his feelings on the matter.
Again, I know that it's just a fanservice comedy series, so it's going to be shallow in its plot at times, but the entire setup for this series is so shallow that it's aggravating how little to no support our main character has. Yes, the argument can be made that the mother is supportive by helping him get into another school, but what he needs is a hell of a lot more than that. Even some of the shallower ecchi manga out there still take even a single panel to address that someone's situation is messed up, even if it gets undermined by a joke the following panel. This one did nothing of the sort and made the goddess and the mother completely abhorrent people whom I'm happy have not returned yet in the series. At least most of the characters introduced since have been fun and nice.
