Tensei Shitara Ore ga Heroine de Aitsu ga Yuusha Datta

I mean I don't mind the whole gender-swap thingamajig but man, this thing hurts to read in chapter 1 I don't have high hopes for this.
Starting from the beginning: Yay reincarnation cliches. That's a given so don't really care (I love you truck-kun <3)
I don't agree with some of the comments I've seen (completely), I don't think we've seen enough of her reactions to judge that she's completely become girly. That being said, you'd expect at least some form of questioning in certain scenes (page 9 specifically). On the other hand, just accepting that he's completely become a she is just weird of the reader as well. I've seen someone say "it's fantasy so our rules don't apply" or that "his brain has been practically replaced with a girls' brain" which, for me, seems to be a dishonest way of reading. You shouldn't just accept everything you see, some form of logic should still apply at least. What I mean to say is that don't just swat away the criticisms of the manga with "Of course its just fiction so nothing really matters anyway" (to quote another reader).
That said, this is only a minor problem with the first chapter. What I really hated was how, in page 6, the heroine gets hit on by pigman. Page 6!. To make the matters worse the interaction and the dialogue is so artificial. I don't know if it's just me but after seeing that I lost all hope in the author. It's obviously made to force the "hero protects heroine" right into our faces and squeeze in that blush event. I don't read manga to be toyed around with by the author like I'm an idiot who needs to be shown fanservice to be hooked. I expect at least some form of effort.
With all that being said, I still have some form of hope left. Not enough to keep reading but enough to hold out hope that it gets better. So does it? Please tell me that it at least improves somewhat.
Opinion at the time of writing: barely a 5/10. I wanna say 4 but chapter 1 is only 9 pages so don't want to decide too rashly either

yup
yup
I wouldn't mind reading this if I knew for certain he stays 'she,' permanently. However I fear if 'she' turns back to 'he' at the end, I really, really, don't want to feel I've just wasted all that time reading this and then having to try wash that taste out of my mouth. So yeah, I think I'll wait until I see the 'End' tag on this and then read it (or not)...

Think of it like being stoned or drunk and having that be your new constant, unchanging baseline of mental reasoning. Worse yet, you probably wouldn't be aware of it or feel it. And if you were, you'd probably constantly start thinking you're going insane.
Although, I am highly critical of this manga because it's unrealistic that a man, upon becoming a woman, didn't immediately attempt to strip and/or masturbate. Can't we all agree to, in the rare situation of cosmic fuckery, to at least hold to that standard in case we can later report about it? This is for science, god damn it!
It is kinda a valid argument that he's now got a female brain in a female body. Biologically, females have different brain chemistry and hormones (...which might explain their incomprehensible reasoning at times... but probably not). This isn't saying that if I went whoosh, whoosh and implanted your (male?) consciousness into a female body that the female brain you had would suddenly make you go, "I MUST HAVE MANLY DICK IN ME NOW!", but you would no longer be your baseline male self because you'd be influenced by new and different hormones and chemical imbalances.

This reminds me of the gag that eventually there will be such a shortage of women who would want to date the vast majority of men that "only men can make each other happy". There's that comic about a guy with his best friend who was turned into a girl by the government because of a girl shortage. If there's a future where genderswapping is easy, or virtual genderswapping is possible, I won't doubt that such a world would become reality.

I'm just confused and at a loss of words. I mean the comedy is funny and also the parody towards the classical "female useless" stereotype. However the fact that a dude gets reincarnated as a female and then starts to have a slightly romantic relation with his friend is... well it confuses me. The gender bender seems to be a straight guy, but now he is a female getting attracted towards his friend, while his friend is also now attracted to him. *Ugh* I don't know how to say it, but thats some weird romance.

I wonder when we'll be able to filter for tags that exist together in a single work: (Genderswap + Romance)
