Preliminary (41/? chp)
Ore ga watashi ni naru talks about a young boy's journey as he one day turns into a girl. The main character Akira is unlike other gender benders manga that I have read. Ore ga watashi ni naru made showcases that change can be hard and that it not always easy. In other gender bender manga I have seen other MC's transition and coming to accept their new selves more easily than Akira. The title of the manga is the exact representation of what the story is about, "Becoming Me." Akira changed when he was in elementary and the story showcases of how he come to get used to living with his new gender. As Akira gets older she still faces difficulties with the change.

Ore ga watashi ni naru made is a well thought manga that poses many questions (some that have never crossed my mind before) such as whether gender dictates what can someone like or what they can do. Akira learns that it is not important what makes a girl but rather, what kind of person he wants to become. This factor alone is why I give character 10/10. Supporting characters also undergo some character development in the manga. I won't talk about what kind of character development, in order not to spoil anything. A cool thing that I like about the manga is that many times before a supporting character is introduced, the back of their head or their silhouette is shown many times until they get introduced to the main character. I like this because I think it represents or shows that the main character is starting to open up to more people.

The art in my opinion has gotten better throughout the months.

10/10 I enjoy this manga! I keep on rereading the chapters because the characters are so cute! Akira is the cutest character in the series though. Her hesitation to change and wanting to change are so endearing that I can't help but cheer her on and want to protect her. Also rereading it has been fun. I keep on seeing here and there in the art or in the text of things I have missed of the author foreshadowing some things.

So far I have only read 41 chapters of the manga. I read them raw.
