This story is quite unpredictable and original, and I love that. I’ve seen some people saying they wish the pacing would speed up, but honestly, this slow exploration of transformation — not only psychological, but also physical — is far more entertaining and interesting to me.
Usually, in most stories, both the bodily and mental transformation happen way too quickly. Here, it is still hard to tell where the story is going, but there are already some hints. Even from the first chapter, we can see that, for some reason, Goh catches the waiter’s attention. We also see Goh showing a certain interest in the way the boy at the other table treats the girl beside him so gently.
I do not want to assume that the entire story will revolve only around Goh, but from the beginning, it does feel like most of the attention and character development has been focused on him. On top of that, the title says “Princess,” not “Princesses,” so it is probably centered on how the long friendship between the characters is affected by what happens to him.
SPOILER (Maybe)
I also liked the part halfway through Goh transformation, where he seemed to be in a realistic internal conflict about the consequences of what was happening. But… it kind of feels like, within a couple of chapters, the mental change might suddenly speed up. He even said he was getting used to holding hands with a man, girl mannerism already like any other girl, and it was obvious that he exchanged looks with the waiter. Knowing the mangaka I know where he want to arrive but, for the sake of a good story, could be nice put more brake on it.
Even Yadori on jagaaan had more slow peace and internal conflict, and in his case he retain the memories of Airi so more reasons to speed up. But here we are talking about an hairy old man with no shows of any interest of becoming something different transformed into a teenage girl in a couple of days and already acting like one?.
Well... maybe we dont know if he was hiding something, having in consideration the things in his room and how he watched the girl being treated by the other guy in the restaurant. Who knows...
He will probably end up falling in love with the waiter and leaving the group, which might perhaps lead into the next member transformation or something. In any case, I hope the story continues in a more realistic direction, instead of becoming like 90% of transformation stories where almost nothing remains of the transformed main character.
