well i dont like this ending

 

[genderbenderbb2]

Welp, that sure is an ending.

Thanks for reading along folks!

 

[ElBichoRaro]

At least the proper couple ended up together, even if Ako's still being an ass. Also, I'm sure they both ended up doing it

 

[Lacie]

So what exactly happend?
Confused

 

[Sopu]

So basically he got changed back to a boy because she didn't like that fact he got changed into a girl but still lost... That's very sad of her to do, and quite selfish.

 

[ziggy7570]

Jiu really got the short end of the stick here didn't he.

 

[dokidoki]

So mc x boy ended up happening and MC x that girl didn't, even tho MC finally got turned into a boy at the end or like the spirit said "If thats what he wants" basically stating he hasn't yet?.....

I'm just so confused as to how that girl lost to the boy LMAO......

once again another genderbender of a dude turning into a girl and somehow dating a man instead.....wonder when the day will be where I finally find a genderbend of a male turning girl and still getting a GF instead OTL......

 

[dokidoki]

hahahaha I finally reread the past couple of chapters and my god what a shit show that was, dead Jiu somehow got MC and the girl who wasn't even related with MC ended up getting shit on by MC cause he ignored her feelings for YEARS even tho he knew everything LOL

what a shit show of a series my god

 

[Siikalahna]

How are those 2 criminals still on the loose? How have they not been put to jail yet? I call bullshit.

 

[Sopu]

@dokidoki there is, you just haven't looked

 

[Darklight99]

Well, that IS an ending. At least there isn't any more of this

@dokidoki There are plenty of genderswap Yuri out there, just look at those tag combinations. Also, you're probably the only person who actually wants Ako X Mao to end up together, but that's probably cause you haven't actually read the manga. Ako is a ginormous bitch, she deserves nothing and got more than she should have.

 

[dokidoki]

@Darklight99 nah i remember her being a bitch but the problem is imo every char in this series sucks ASS including MC, the only one who I can't recall being an ass is Kagu

 

[e89f0b291121364caf8c6be62b2333c3]

I'm not even sure what's going on anymore

 

[Darklight99]

@dokidoki Jiu was a good person though, he wasn't great but he wasn't an ass.

 

[Starbright]

Wait where people getting he turned back into a boy

Feel bad for the sister but atleast she took it well

 

[kyrex]

Well, thank you genderbenderbb2 for finishing this series after all these years. It's a shame that it turned out to be such a goddamned mess.

Thank you genderbenderbb2 for translating this. I do think this series has its place in the annals/history of the genre and it was interesting to see how it was being written back in 2010. I think a proper renaissance for the genre has been coming about in the last three years or so, so it doesn't look as good in that light. But I do appreciate how sincerely this story was told, however clumsily. I didn't like many of the characters and I kind of dislike how much Mao is an object who is acted upon by the story instead of generally having much agency of their own.

But the genre has definitely evolved in the last ten years, by leaps and bounds. It might be hard to believe but Mao Marimo is actually pretty much an evolution from some of the really janky gender bender works of the aughties.

In any case, genderbenderbb2 did us a solid by helping us complete that history in English.

 

[genderbenderbb2]

You're welcome folks, and a thank you to the patron who requested this series as well.😄

On to more series translations~

 

[Darklight99]

Some people think that Mao turned back into a guy, I doubt it, since guardian spirit outright said that it was Mao's choice and we've already known that Mao likes being a girl and completely feels like one.
