  A cute romance manga, where science fiction and slice of life meet to form a really enjoyable read.

  (note to the reader, this is my first review here, and it can feature mild spoilers of the lore!)

  Emergence is a process to maintain a fixed male to female ratio, normally happens in young males

  At first, I didn't know really what was I expecting from "Kanojo ni Naru Hi". I was thinking it could be some average ecchi romance manga which uses gender bender/gender swap as main trope for it. But I didn't got any of that! This manga was suggested to me by a person on a Portuguese discord server called "Geringonça" where we have this dynamic which we recommend short anime/manga to each other in every 2 Saturdays. And I got this. These are my thoughts:

  The manga surprised me by the positive. It takes a concept which I kinda understand and tries to make it the lore for the manga. This is because, emergence, the process that is described on this manga actually happens in our world in some species of fishes and insects/invertebrates (Protandrous sequential hermaphroditism). Which it is actually cool, a manga which goes around certain elements we find it boring in our Biology classes. Genetics, reproductive biology, alleles, and so on and so on; which makes it interesting for those who love Biology and science fiction - this is the manga's best selling point.

  The selling point I'm talking about is the way they gently pur the sci-fi element of the explanation of the gender swap with the romantic slice of life between the two main charcters, adding two cups of drama, a bit of school life, yet with a coming of age theme, the manga really got me wanting to read chapters one by one.

  So, two male besties, suddenly one emerges as female, and the main male characters needs to change his life in order to persude his daily life with newly emerged friend. This quickly turns from a pain in the ass to a lovely romance history, with the coming of age element, that features some drama to add "nature" to the relationship, which I appreciate. Flexible relationships have their lows, and this manga could describe those lows easily, a relationship without bad moments would not be realistic, which shows even with mild sci-fi, realism really never left the chat.

  At the end of the manga, there were some elements that kinda made me confused, all of those kidnapping scene for the plans of study of the MC could be unecessary.

  The art was enjoyable, the history was decent. I can finally say a Gender Bender manga that isn't ecchi or focus on it! I really recommend it, only 4 volumes, short read, I think you will like it. Resuming, "Kanojo ni Naru Hi" is a great gender swap romance manga where the more unrealistic elements somehow are justified in realistic ways, and the slice of life elements are enjoyable, realistic, making the romance and drama present in the manga more human. In fact, all the troubles of a married couple (children, work, talking things out, moving, the families, celebrations, etc) are really so put in tought, that I could feel this happening in real life, if the human species was a protandrous sequential hermaphrodit specie of course.

  Engaging love with the help of mother nature.

  _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 pre-teens 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__ Nao´s 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 couple's 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 doesn't 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 Kyosuke´s 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. ~~~~~~
