I was thinking the same thing. I can’t imagine she’d want to stay much longer in that house unless some of the other guys start changing too. I don’t know if her mind would completely become that of a teenage girl’s, but it’d be interesting to see her mingling with other girls and forming new friendships. But like you said, this could go any way.For a moment, I thought the drug would eventually wear off and reverse the change, but now I don’t think so. It was made very clear that Goh is 100% biologically female now, and I don’t think so much detail would have been invested in showing that if the drug were just going to wear off later.
I think this will take a path similar to Jagaaaaaan.
Goh will probably develop some kind of internal split personality, where her old self slowly vanishes and only the mind of a teenage girl remains. The discomfort of being around older guys will probably start with that train experience, and eventually she’ll abandon the house and end up with the restaurant waitress.
Please, Oku-sensei! Prove me wrong and keep subverting my expectations! XD
Feels nice to have little to not idea what will happen instead of so much cliche nowadays with this genre
I've mentioned in a few comments on previous chapters, but Oku stated when beginning writing that he wanted to do a grounded manga after years of SF fiction. The flavour text in chapter 1 even references that it's a bit of a return to form for him (he used to write drama about sexuality and gender before Gantz).It's like a pinch of dysmorphia-ish thing kicked in there. Despite the weird af science it's got my senses engaged, what a neat af drug to theorycraft, rapid genetic modification and how.
I just expect it to turn into a scifi story with aliens![]()
