Boku Girl is a transgender-themed ecchi romantic comedy that follows Mizuki Suzushiro, who is depicted as a male high school student with feminine beauty at the start of the series, which often causes Mizuki to be seen as a woman and flirted with by men because of her insecurity over a lack of masculinity. This gender-bending manga is about Suzushiro Mizuki, a first-year high school student who is constantly mistaken for a girl. It's so bad that he's constantly rejecting many men's confessions.

Even the girl he has a crush on appears to regard him as one of the girls rather than a possible love interest. Meanwhile, Loki, the trickster god, has grown tired of playing tricks on her fellow gods. She returns her attention to the mortal world and sets her sights on Mizuki for her next round of fun. As a result, Mizuki awakens with developing breasts and a missing portion of his anatomy. What else awaits Mizuki, and how will he deal with it?

From August 1987 to March 1996, it was serialized in Weekly Shonen Sunday, with the chapters collected into 38 tankobon volumes by Shogakukan.

This gender-bending manga begins in China, where there is a well-known training spring where martial artists can hone their skills to great levels. Unfortunately, the springs are cursed as well! Ranma, a teen martial artist, falls into the "spring of drowned girls" and now transforms into a woman whenever he is splashed with cold water. That doesn't stop his father from proposing to Akane, the daughter of an old friend and a tough girl who has more important things to worry about than boys.

But Akane isn't the only girl vying for Ranma's attention—two other girls have been betrothed to him as well. But Ranma has more important things to worry about than his love life, such as creating a slew of crazy rivals and even more suitors!

"Kämpfer" is a story about Natsuru Senou, a high school student who wakes up one day to discover that he has been chosen to be a "Kämpfer," a special kind of warrior who must fight other Kämpfers in order to survive. Kämpfers are divided into two groups, "white" and "black," and must fight each other until only one group remains. One of the story's unique elements is that when Natsuru transforms into a Kämpfer, he becomes a girl rather than a boy. This creates some interesting situations as Natsuru attempts to navigate his new life as a girl, such as dealing with things like changing in the girls' locker room and unexpectedly attracting the attention of his male classmates.

Despite the story's gender-bending elements, "Kämpfer" is primarily an action-comedy series with lots of fighting and humor. Natsuru must also navigate his relationships with the other characters in the series, including his childhood friend Kaede, the mysterious Kämpfer Shizuku, and the aggressive Kämpfer Akane. Overall, "Kämpfer" is a fun and entertaining series that takes a fresh approach to the action-comedy genre. It should be noted, however, that the series contains some mature themes and content, so it may not be appropriate for all audiences.

This gender bender manga begins in the former kingdom of Morrigan, where countless lives were lost as a result of war and rebellion. When women took over all positions of power, new laws mandated that only they could earn income and receive inheritances, while men lost the majority of their rights and were reduced to objects of ridicule. Morrigan grew into a queendom cloaked in illusory peace. People outside of the royal court, in particular, continued to suffer; however, the men were now subjected to the worst of the pain and humiliation.

Albert is a young orphan who lives in the vicinity of Morrigan's harbor. Despite his guardian Martha's warnings, he and his friend Theodore travel to the town center one day to observe preparations for the Queen's birthday festival. Unsurprisingly, because they are boys who are not accompanied by an adult, they are captured by slave traders and immediately sold. An elegantly dressed man offers an exorbitant price to purchase them both, though he clearly prefers Albert.

The man, who introduces himself as Guy Schwarzwald, transports Albert and Theodore to a palace where they will meet their new master. Albert can't decide whether it's more surprising that he's now the property of Princess Alexia Lumiere, heir apparent to the throne, or that she looks exactly like him!
