Although surprised, Hime offers her full support, and this is initially kept a secret between them for a few years, but Akira decides to start living as a girl full-time upon starting high school with Hime.

#i am only adding this because the main character (the cis girl) doesn't stop being bisexual i don't think...#but this series is an unimaginable let down. it's borderline disgusting how much of a let down it is (spoilers)#her friend who she is in love with (the trans girl) is completely sidelined and her gender identity exploration#ends up with her being a feminine cis girl married to a man & with a kid.. FUCK YOU#oms listing#kanojo ni naritai kimi to boku#takase umi#l: kanojo ni naritai kimi to boku#l: f x m#l: queer & ambqueer#l: queer character#l: cross dressing#l: genderbender#l: gb: ftm#l: masc f#l: gb stops#l: masc f stops#personal score: 5#for the longest time i didnt even add to my oms list because of how angry and disheartened i was by it#they literally dangled a yuri with a trans girl and likely nonbinary character in front of my face and said sike#this is what happens when authors are not IN the community and fundamentally dont understand the cultural state#of the thing theyre borrowing to sprinkle on their work#all of us over here can see the line you won't let your character cross

SEIBETSU 'MONA LISA' NO KIMI HE. ( 性別「モナリザ」の君へ。 )
The Gender of Mona Lisa; Just Like Mona Lisa / Yoshimura Tsumuji
Complete, with 53 chapters / 10 volumes
F/M or F/F or M/M; Drama, Romance, Psychological + lgbt, queer & ambqueer, queer character, genderbender, nonbinary character, gb stops, character stops being nonbinary, f x nb (temporarily only), m x nb (temporarily only)
SUMMARY: In this world, people are born without a gender. Their bodies shift toward their desired gender when they reach twelve years old. Until Hinase's eighteenth spring, they lived content without a gender. But the bubbly girl Ritsu and thoughtful boy Shiori pull Hinase in opposite directions when they both confess their feelings on the same day! Romance was never on Hinase's mind, so how can they respond? Hinase may be forced to choose a new identity as they arrive at the cusp of adulthood. Who will they choose, and who will they become?

#i gave it a 4 because my good nature knows no bounds#and i tried trough the tears of frustration to recognize the good aspects of storytelling#in fact when the author didnt give up on the 2 boring friends and insisted on the love triangle aspect and giving them character moments#i was like wow. persistance. sticking to your (boring) vision! lmao. anyway. in my heart of hearts this deserves a lower score#oms listing#seibetsu 'mona lisa' no kimi he.#yoshimura tsumuji#mypost#l: seibetsu 'mona lisa' no kimi he.#l: f x m#l: f x f#l: m x m#l: queer & ambqueer#l: queer character#l: lgbt#l: genderbender#l: nonbinary character#l: gb stops#l: f x nb#<- temporarily only ->#m x nb#personal score: 4#lots of (negative) tags i had to create to describe how much this manga sucks#if the protagonist had stayed non-binary in a world where you're forced to choose i WOuld have tagged it transgender#as it is i couldn't possibly. i'd feel like trash doing it.#this is at its core a manga about conforming. to binarism. to cissexuality (they manage to do that!). to monogamy. to what it's expected.#worst manga to ever have a bisexual protagonist and i thought no one could do worse than kanojo ni naritai kimi to boku#final observation: it's um. a Choice to call shiori thoughtful. that boy should burn!
