Kanojo ni Naru hi or The day he becomes a woman is a fascinating manga that pushes its narrative far beyond the high school romance. The author kindly and smartly clickbaits us the readers with vibes of overused high school ecchi popcorn comedy. Immediately Chapter 2 our fanservice heart is pleased with the famous or infamous beach episode. But this is just a facade. In this alternative or futuristic reality due to an overabundance of males mother nature decided as it happens in certain animal species to give a balance to the ecosystem to have an emergence. Some preteens males suddenly become genetically women. The target is in general kids around 10/12 years of age. That is not the case for Nao Mamiya a brilliant charismatic womanizer 17 years old who is hit by this emergence which gives him at such later age a high chance to pass away. On the counterpart there is Kyosuke Miyakoshi Naos best frenemy mostly a friend who starts to develop an attraction towards his former male friend now blossoming into a beauty. The fascinating thing about this manga is that creates many questions without giving a real answer. This is one of the narratives that I find entangling as in most cases the audience is always searching for an answer. While here we do not have. Why does this happen? How does this happen? And so on. The plot pushes immediately on the couples side through the years we do not need to wait for 21 volumes for a kiss and all is solved in 5 chapters. From then onward it is portrayed the daily life of this former buddys turned into lovers. We have already an established woman but is it so? The interesting psychological aspect is that slowly Nao accepts herself but is a slow process. Her behaviour sometimes is very manly she doesnt accept the idea to be less strong than a man and even in the beginning she plays with the boys showcasing her body it looks like a play to her. But then the hormones kick in and the menstrual period kicks in and love kicks in and uncertainty and sexual desire towards her partner. The two of them are challenged in their daily life with I would say not extreme dramatic events. They both try to understand each other and they question themselves: Is it love? Is it solitude? Am I gay? Maybe he was gay? It is not a masterpiece but the manga sure raises a strong voice because in a world where emergence is a normal natural phenomenon still Kyosukes cousin who represents the voice of the current morality? says that: They are an abomination. A strong statement as we understand that the route to acceptance sadly is still long and challenging.
