Thanks for the translation, shame it was cancelled but not that surprising given he gave it all away that the plot was going to be:
All the boys become girls
Each one gets a transformation chapter
Each one has a special power
Mystery with one of the characters which wasn't that compelling
The cast was too big, the pacing too slow, it had an interesting idea and concept but didn't go quick enough with it and none of the characters who were turned seemed to actually care or do anything with it.

It's sad, but I can sort of see why this was cancelled. The genderswap elements kind of clash with the more serious parts of the story in a way that makes both feel a bit lesser. I think they could've been blended together better. Maybe instead of getting transformed via Konpachi's magic, it would have been better if they became girls when they left the school grounds? Then there's a more direct connection between "helping" and "becoming a girl." They need to go out to get food and investigate and such, after all.

I'm glad the author's starting something new soon. Hopefully that one doesn't get cancelled as quickly as this was.

I hope the change of publishers for the author’s next work is a conscious decision by the author themselves.
Abrupt cancellation even before the first tankoubon release is kind of ridiculous.
This. It being cancelled before sales could be made on a tankoubon is proof that this came from a place of spite above even profit.

Goddammit! I was enjoying this series! It was the one I was really looking forward to reading!
Hopefully the author can use the ideas developed here for another series, one which isn't axed so quickly.

I think you're reading into it too deeply. It's a pretty niche genre with a lot of cancelled series, it might've failed in popularity polls or been cancelled so series in more popular genres could be given the page space or as Kaneko Naoya is changing publishers because of a failing out with them. Who knows, maybe they'll have the rights to continue it as a self published series like Akazukin no Ookami Deshi or maybe one day they'll buy or get the rights back to it like Nekotofu and Serving! Koharu.

So the Demon King is an Incubus this time? That's new, I think. Been plenty of succubus demonlords but every male demonlord I've seen has been some kind of standard demon or vampire. Why hasn't this been done before? With all the female heroes out there and the tendency for male heroes to have harems for party members an Incubus seems like a natural counter.

Don’t introduce prana energy two chapters before the end. But since the author’s next work will also be a gender-bending story, he seems like a tough guy. Godspeed.

Well he kind of got told halfway through drawing this chapter, so it's highly likely that the introduction was drawn before the axe fell.
