Sometimes i forgot... Yoko is a former male...

 

[aurafort]

ahhhh.... this is really healing ^^

 

[FieryKathy]

@aurafort I know right

 

[Kisato]

@FieryKathy to be fair, he was probably a girly sorta guy

 

[ivv]

awwwwwwwwww
friends get~!

 

[timesen]

That's awfully short. But really nice SOL

 

[FieryKathy]

@Kisato perhaps but it's nice to see her get friends now!

Yoko's a former male, but probably not the sort that took a ton of pride in her identity outside of her intense love for idols.

To now be the very thing that she's always loved feels to her probably like more than a fair trade-off. It's kinda nice that Yoko's very natural as a girl but her former self sometimes does creep into how she interacts with others or her own social awkwardness.

Very wholesome slice of life gender bend manga, overall. I don't even find it all that unrealistic how she's rolling with it either, there are guys and girls alike who aren't super attached to their gender role. If you're to ask Yoko I bet she'd say that she was a failure of a man before so there wasn't really much lost. (does anyone else think she was probably way too hard on herself? I know plenty of actual "disgusting otaku" and none of them resemble a gentle shy/softspoken idol enthusiast.)

 

[Kisato]

@MidnighTea. I suppose I could be one of those people. Like, I don't experience any particular gender disphoria or anything like that, but if you gave me the chance to just poof as a girl I would totally take it.

 

[FieryKathy]

@MidnighTea well people do tend to be very hard on themselves and a couple of years ago Otaku and nerd culture were way less accepted than they are now + I'm not sure how it is in Japan, might still be pretty bad. Yoko might be genderfluid, not really caring what gender she is (but now she can be an idol, hurray!)

 

[MidnighTea]

@Kisato I bet you'd make a very cute girl!

And yeah I agree with FieryKathy that Yoko is probably more genderfluid than even she knew.

 

[Nazdrovie]

Man, this manga really is fluffy and comfy. Thanks for the chapter!

 

[Kenfighter65]

The genderbend stuff is on the back burner.
Bet around 50 chs Yoko suddenly remembered she was a he.

 

[FieryKathy]

I doubt that. @Kenfighter65
@Nazdrovie no problem =)

 

[PhantomStarlight]

This is more enjoyable than i thought it would be ^_^

 

[FieryKathy]

@PhantomStarlight yay!

 

[ajddavid452]

@Kisato yeah me too, heck my reaction is already in a manga https://mangadex.org/title/30980/about-a-lazy-high-school-guy-who-woke-up-as-a-girl-one-morning

 

[hibugji]

i had a good laugh with the reactions to the pants pull down game. this manga is adorable

I agree, with it being called "Disgusting Otaku" i was expecting it to basically be mocking the MC all the way through, but this is actually super pure. MC just wants to have friends Q.Q
