Isekai no Bokujou o Souzoku Shimashita Star Stream Farm - Ch. 1 - I became a pretty farmer girl!

[dOmOlz]

Hell naw what if grandpa editing mtfc's ( ) memories made him(?) pursue the soul crushing corporate path instead of going straight to slow life farming?☝️

Also if I had a nickel every time the author of Shield Hero made a genderswap light novel, I’d send it to him so he can get some estrogen pills

First of all, I'm really sorry the last time I quoted you and snapped at you in a completely different thread. I meant what I said but I could've been a lot less impatient/angry. It was one of those straw + camel's back things. (like in a "I'm so sick of having this conversation" kind of way)

But I wanted to say the Shield Hero author's gender is completely unknown. Their LNs are all published under a feminine pen name. That really could be one of two things -- one possibility is that they ARE trans but keeping deep in the closet, may already be on the pills. Japan is a tough place to be trans in. Less outright dangerous to your life but it's definitely hard mode otherwise. Thankfully you don't need to chemically castrate yourself anymore to get HRT, they changed that law in 2023.

The other possibility is that she(?) is in fact a woman but doesn't want her otaku and real life to mingle. You'd be surprised (or not) but MtF gender bend is wildly popular in Japan among cis women otaku. I personally know at least three on social media who post that stuff constantly and at least four female vtubers who love it. It was surreal listening to Marine from Hololive basically go on a tangent about the mental and emotional appeal of the genre.
Adorable anecdote actually -- one of the cis women I know on social media is Riko Kuratsuka. She's pretty much made a name for herself in horny but adorably-styled gender bend works. There's a nonzero chance you know her name. But it took years before she wanted to attend doujin events for the genre. She was anxious that a middle aged woman showing up among vibrant young "men" (who fantasize about being girls) would be disruptive. Thankfully she got encouragement from everyone (myself included) and started going for it, especially after meeting many other women who love the genre. She also underestimated just how many western trans girls felt nourished by her allyship. It was just second nature to her to be one, not even something she thought deserves hesitation. Which really puts pay to the nonsense transphobes constantly tell us about how being an ally or even just tolerant isn't natural. Either way she loves seeing gender euphoria.

... uh... sorry. Got off on a tangent there. I guess I just wanted to share warm vibes I got, if just by way of apology for last time. Either way thanks for being a proactive ally yourself if Aneko Yusagi turns out to be trans. TBH given this is twice now we're seeing "this light novel is just about finally being able to relax in a body I find comforting" I'd actually wager she is.

It’s no problem at all!

Riko Kuratsuka, though… wonder if she has any works on he-



…huh

mfw i'll never go to another world and turn into a cute girl 😔

What if your poppop took you to another world and made you a girl when you were a kid but the memory's just blocked out for now?

you might be cooking

 

[gr2222]

The moment the grandpa gave the envelope I knew what would happen next. The author must be a huge fan of Stardew valley

 

[Whoareyou_vl]

reject modern world, embrace the cunny

 

[GreenDude1]

That was literally the opening of stardew Valley word for word more or less.

 

[chaser]

People keep saying Stardew Valley instead of Harvest Moon/Story of Season makes me feel old, i guess its a good thing farm sim got a big of a comeback with it

 

[Strela]

I wish my grandpa left me a whole as farm and turned me into loli too

 

[AvidMangaReader81]

Why didn't the grandpa just leave him all the IRL things to him too instead of to the shitty relatives? Was he stupid?

Yeah… I was just gonna make a joke saying “Bold of you to assume you’re included in the will at all.” but guess not, rip.

I for one am ready for TStardew Valley.

I don't care if it's the Shield Hero author. If he realized that he'd rather be the cutie than imagine being in a situation where they're his legally bought daughters? That's a heck of a redemption arc as far as I'm concerned.

Redemption via Genderswap Stardew Valley goes hard, ngl lol.

My theory is that his bodies are out of sync, and grow depending on which one he's using. So since he hasn't been to the other world for so long, he couldn't grow the female body as much as the male body.

Ooh, interesting theory. I mean, it’d be cool if they ended up doing that… But I dunno 🤷. Would kind of make sense if they add some lore to back it up, tbh. Feel like they’ve already set up the framework for this though, so I’m assuming it IS basically that but that time is basically paused for the world if they leave a place??

Could be a case of misremembering, but he said it resembled his relatives’ old place… So either that’s why it was so familiar, or it isn’t. I dunno.
Ohh wait, no. Okay, so he just had his memories altered and I guess some of it got recalled somehow.

If true though, would be trippy for the red-haired girl who probably lives in that world and grew up already. Bro can’t have a romance because of the physical age gap either. Wholesome fun as friends works too, but there really isn’t a reason an adult would be hanging around a child… This is fiction though, so I guess it’s fine or it’ll work out somehow??

Honestly, the grandpa should’ve set it up so that he remembers as soon as he enters that world again. Would’ve been nice, but I dunno. Maybe too much stress on the brain along with the assumed stress the grandpa thinks he most likely has if they opened the letter.

"My grandfather kidnapped me and brought me into another world to work on his farm"

It's a good thing MC's didn't give up his dream of being a farmer and had no lingering attachments to Japan or he'd be hell of pissed right now.

It's also a good thing that tactical nuke envelope didn't accidentally isekai everyone else in the office too (jeez grandpa, give a little warning next time to open it somewhere alone).



Because grandpa wanted to genderswap MC for the lulz.

In an alternate universe, it would of been funny if he actually did give him the IRL house and tricked his shitty relatives into opening the letter and trapping them on his farm in the other world forever.



Looks like it. I don't mind the random genderswap when MC crosses other dimensions. Kinda wish we had some kind of explanation for why he regressed to a 10 year old rather than gloss over it though.

Oh, for sure.
“You’re my favourite in the family, so I’m gonna abduct you and throw you into another world without your consent. Good luck!!”

Also yeah… If it did, it isn’t like they have bodies set up there either assuming they need one premade or whatever. If that were the case, maybe they DID get transported, but as ghosts or something, lol.

It just SPELLS trouble if they got transported with him but they were still grown adults and he’s just there. In manga, anyways… Some manga… Themes, y’know.

But yeah, there should be SOME kinda warning label on that that says you should do it alone in an isolated space, lo.

It was a “for the lulz” that spanned a decade or two 😭. He did it to him as a child, damnnnnn. Why he still looking old in both the flashback and photo tho?? Are the bodies there actually un-ageing? Anyways… Bro invested on that transformation prank, ngl lmao.

Honestly, just give him the inheritance too. Nothing’s stopping him from doing that. In fact, he might’ve been able to even quit his job if he had it and not deal with all that stress in the first place.

By irl house, you mean the one the two relatives lived in at the beginning and not the one that was sold, right?? In which case, that’d been fun. Honestly don’t deserve an isekai, but an isekai trap could have it’s own comeuppances in it’s own right. Tbf, the grandpa curated it for him, so maybe not… Would’ve been funny, but MC would still be stressed—house or not, lol. Peace and quiet at home is good though. Not that he lives there probably tho, considering it seemed he was just there visiting his grandpa.

Also don’t mind the genderswap. An explanation would’ve been nice though. If not in the first chapter, I wonder when… Unless it literally IS just the whim of the grandpa. The regression is definitely a more pressing issue though. How? Why?? Basically questions and stuff like that, tbh lol.

Hell yeah genderswap manga

W’s in the chat. Hope it turns out good, lol.

Isn't this, like, beat-for-beat the plot of Stardew Valley's opening cutscene? The manga's even calling itself 'Starstream Farm'.

I thought it was just similar, but now that you mention it… Lmao, crazy. Maybe it’s their own playthrough but made into a manga and tweaked to fit the setting, jkjk lol.

Isekai Story of Seasons with a side of gender bend? Yes please and thank you.

Gotta love these types of stories. Really fun sometimes, icl lol.

Thank you for the translation. This gives stardew valley vibes but gender swap so even better

The whole bundle, crazy. Hyped to see what they have coming up next for us in the next chapter, lol.

ngl all the video game element and how everything was kinda given to them make me not want to read it, like you have slow life and not even having to carry the wood you cut, like farm work is interesting because it is work and not grinding your woodcutter level in a MMO, it is learned knowledge and while this is too early to judge a whole serie idk the mood of the setup do not inspire me confidence that they will learn and discover stuff organically...

Also the 10 years old part but oh well...

Edit : Well I got my anwser why I did not vibe with that at all and for the age of the body of the progonist... it based on a novel from Aneko Yusagi known for dimentional wave a another genderswapped protagonist that I did not enjoy and well more well known for Shield Hero... ... Yeah I am going to skip that one for the the TL and to everyone that enjoy it have fun

Yeah… Plus the transporting thing is definitely convenient, but also inconvenient in a few situations, lol. If that’s the only axe… What if you have guests over and are doing a bonfire kinda thing??

“Hey guys, imma chop some more wood … … Never mind guys, the wood disappeared.”

Yeah, but damn. No hard work necessary?? Literally the opposite of Stardew, lol. Tbf the stacks there ARE like 999 iirc, so… yeah. BUT STILL!! WE STRUGGLED TOO!!!!! (lol).

^ They say it’s more video-game-like, but video games get you to pick up things more often than not instead of transporting them to home base, lol.

I think they might learn things organically. Not like the basics on how to live and whatnot which was mostly explained to them…but at least the memories they lost, right?? Maybe?? Maybe… The offering thing too. Wasn’t completely or entirely explained to them, so they’ll probably be learning that by themselves sooner or later, tbh lol.

Also ah, okay… So based on a novel that you did not enjoy, but also mostly just the same themes as said novel without replicating it 1:1?? Not sure if this implies you also don’t like shield hero tho, lol. I guess that might also share a few themes just because it’s the same author?? Fair enough that it ain’t your cup of tea though. Imma still see it through. MIGHT be good, who knows.

He might be also agender(if I'm using that term correctly), in that it didn't seem like he cared much either way.

Yeah, lol. I mean he did seem very briefly concerned, but not particularly worried. Born to be carefree, forced to be overworked kinda deal. Basically, lol idk 🤷.

My thoughts exactly. The fact that past him was always a girl when he got sent to another world and actually liked it definitely has 🏳️‍⚧️ energy, not gonna lie.

Also if I had a nickel every time the author of Shield Hero made a genderswap light novel, I’d send it to him so he can get some estrogen pills

From how I interpreted it… He was a child when he first came here and became a girl?? Oh wait, pfft. I just misread what you meant.

No, yeah… Childhood innocence and carefree attitude plays a part, I guess. Plus knowing that he’d turn back at some point or another, lol. Like it not being permanent and stuff. Just going with the flow, basically. I get the energy you mean though. It WAS just a panel though… So I dunno. Speaking of, was his memory wiped to keep the place a secret? To not make him seem crazy?? To make it not seem like had an extremely overactive imagination??? I dunno lol.

Also author’s pulled this before??
I guess they just never bothered sentencing Naofumi to it too, lol. Know it’s probably an exaggeration, but if they actually made enough for someone to afford said pills… Crazy, lmao ngl.



Honestly, the way they phrased it… I guess he can go back?? And the paper might be something he can use to traverse? Write stuff and make stuff happen or whatever. Haven’t read the whole chapter yet. I already have for the above text tho lol.

“When you were little, you found the change funny”… In that panel, he looks exactly the same. The grandpa, I mean. Is there something going on here, or why can’t he just transport his grandson in the same manner?? Is that body a homunculus or something? Like damn.

First and second panels on the 34th page feels like they should be swapped… Lol.

Went out of his way to do what?
Everything he could… Which involved just giving him semi-detailed explanations and instructions/guides…and the house that was already there, I guess lol.

“But from now on, I want to lead a life of leisure.”
Oh. So he’s not going back.
Guessing he can’t take wealth from here to there either though, considering he can’t even do that with his own body, lol.

Animals? They seem humanoid… Eh?? Mushroom that wasn’t in the photo appeared though. So that’s…something, lmao.
