Perhaps a hot take but Souji didn't have much a character that a girl version of him is all that exciting to begin with. There is a lot to love about this manga but "non-generic protagonist" ain't one of those things.

Thanks for the TL though, this has been a journey.

For him to be the only one to go back to normal after the sword lost its power makes no sense whatsoever. Even remaining an adult woman would have been a stretch since that power was supposed to be temporary. Should ended with him reverting back to the baby girl form and having to start his life over just like everyone else that got cut down by his sword. Going back to his original male form is just a terrible ass-pull by the author.

There's not but becoming a girl still would've been a chance to get out of that generic protag section

Fully agreed. That'd be a challenging, philosophical ending. Would be kind of beautiful to be raised alongside Tsuchikare as a twin sister and their respective swords beginning to share each other's power. Yeah, you lose on the "childhood friend romance" angle if Ureha is having to help raise them but I miss endings where romance doesn't actually happen despite being built up. Lost loves is a lost art nowadays.

In theory, yes, if there was still enough time to explore it in earnest. But my point is more that Souji is so bland and the story is almost over that even if he didn't turn back it wouldn't make much of a tangible difference if we're getting a glossing over status quo ending regardless.

Well you know what that means!

Time to write some fanfic where that premise happens!

It was already shown how being stabbed with your own sword works. If the swords function as you describe, Tsuchikure would have turned into a regular gun after their first fight.

"This is the power of all these little girls" while a sound effect tries to censor a panty flash.

This sure was a manga.

Definitely agree that him being stuck as a little girl, as well, would have been a more thematically fitting ending. Considering how the story's pretty insistent in its portrayal of the transformation being a way to move on from past childhood trauma and all that.

This is an adaptation apparently, so I'm kind of curious if the LN(?)'s ending was more like that. Or if its still in-progress, if the author's planning on it turning out like that. Probably not curious enough to read the LN, though.

This adaptation is pretty faithful, actually. There are differences, sure, but they're all so minor they don't even feel worth mentioning.

While the series is over, I have to imagine the author didn't want to bring the series to a proper closure so that a possibility of a continuation remains.

And then Souji finally noticed he became a woman with medium-large boobs.

Really? Only 15 chapter and change? Genderswap series are far too short these days.
