Koushaku Reijou ni Tensei shiteshimatta node, Mental Otome na Ore wa, Zenryoku de Onnanoko wo Tanoshimimasu - Vol. 1 Ch. 2 - Get-well gifts

[MrGrinns]

From the series summary:

Depending on how you read that sentence, it could mean two potential options:

1. The main character likes feminine things but was unable to enjoy them in his old world due to the standards society puts on men, and now as Miranda she can enjoy them thoroughly
2. The main character legit felt trans but was unable to come out due to society, so when he died he was all “oh nooooo I got reborn as a girl I can’t believe it I certainly never wanted this to happen but since it happened, I might as well wear a variety of cute dresses, not that I want to or anything”

Either way, yeah it is somewhat of a fantasy. But we get tons of manga here like “the middle-aged man who was deserted by his old company adventuring party turned out to have extraordinary powers and gains a daughter figure” or “I came to another world where I was a loner virgin, but now that I brought Japanese cuisine to this new world women are begging to suck my dick”. So honestly, why shouldn’t we get a series about a guy who just wants a slow, peaceful life as an aristocratic maiden?

Yeah, but just because we get alot of them, doesn't mean they're good...

As if you didn't just describe 90% of series in the isekai tag here. But the one that's definitely not a heterosexual power fantasy is the one that's beyond the pale, I guess.

Theres a difference between an immature power fantasy and a 30 year old man fantasizing about becoming a "beautiful little girl".

...And all this is before we even consider the fact that reincarnating into fantasy worlds aren't a real thing and purey fictional.

It's no less unrealistic than any other afterlife scenario. I'd argue it possibly makes even more sense than most afterlife scenarios, since the act of dreaming often puts you in a different world with different memories etc. so it's not even a huge logical leap from a solipsistic point of view.

I'm not saying one should believe in fantasy... but if you need to, for emotional or spiritual reasons? I'd say the religion of isekai is much less demanding than most others. Just... y'know, don't go playing in traffic.

Chuds rolling up in the comments to a genderswap manga to argue down anyone who says the word "trans". Just another day on this site.

Everyone ignores the fact that it would appear that his mind is being cunnyfied.
It's only like the second (or third) isekai manga where the MC's mind actually changes. (the first one was
Chibikko Kenja, Lv. 1 Kara Isekaide Ganbarimasu! if anyone is wondering)

Especially since we know that his memories from his previous life are becoming harder and harder to remember, i assume thats the reason why he was so against leaving his world to doing a 180 out of nowhere. He'll probably actually start acting more and more his bodys age and gender as this series go on.

 

[Yosirin]

its kinda....
litlle bit refreshing watching 30 years old or so ossan doing cute thing

 

[Crisxpy]

THIS IS SO WHOLESOME OMG,

[Rukja]

thanks for the chapter
and so far it feels more like the author likes plushys and uses this manga to argue why it is ok ^^

 

[hidayato]

Lisa is so cute

 

[LoliNecromancer]

Even as a plushie Orcs get the women Orc rizz to stronk

 

[jonsmth]

Those panels where he opens presents and then plays with those plushies... I want to go back to those days again.

 

[Cruiser]

Honestly, good on them. They didn't get to enjoy a lot of the cute stuff they liked before and now have the opportunity to do so freely? That's the dream

Not every day we get to see a manga that doesn't veer into virile male fantasy so I'm all in this.

 

[AnotherDuck]

Dragon plushie best plushie.

Always funny when people automatically attribute anything the author writes that doesn't follow the holy story writing code as "their own personal fantasy" or some other more crude description, rather than writing what's popular or just something they'd like to read.

 

[Ranzo]

Well at least he didn't die a virgin

Although the story seems to be narration style, I found it nice and wholesome, most likely also because the drawing is so cute.
Saw this is based on novel, might be hard to picture it without any drawings there.

 

[DanJADO]

Wanting girly and cute stuff... I understand you old man.

 

[Virtt]

Im not saying one should believe in fantasy...

What is fantasy anyway? Like a pit of fire you get yourself thrown into if you're a bad person?

 

[Maxoball]

I can feel it, something really really REALLY BAD is gonna happen, I know it
