I have been disappointed. I thought that I had finally found a gender bender that was about rediscovering yourself, overcoming the gender barriers imposed by society, and discovering that your genitalia doesn´t matter when it comes to being yourself... But this is practically cheap shoujo, in that every girl's thought is to chase a boy's pants, and the whole world of the MC revolves around the childhood friend, no matter what other experiences or friendships they make outside of their relationship of the childhood friend (I bet the MC won't play baseball again, because it seems enough to become the "special one" of the childhood friend). These types of comics are those that don´t pass the Bechdel test (A test of the representation of women in fiction. It asks whether a work features at least two women who talk to each other about something other than a man).
