    Mizuki Suzushiro 

Mizuki Suzushiro

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/suzushiro_mizuki.jpg

The main character of the series. Mizuki is a really girly-looking guy who is greatly annoyed by how everyone keeps mistaking him for a girl all the time. One day, the trickster goddess decides to mess with him because she's bored and Mizuki wakes up with breasts and a missing part of his anatomy.


  • Ambiguously Bi: Mizuki's sexual orientation, and how his transformation affected it, is very open to interpretation.
    • He starts out expressing an attraction to Yumeko. His transformation does not change these feelings, but does cause him to realize he was never romantically interested in her in the first place. If Mizuki was ever actually into girls at all is something the manga doesn't dwell on.
    • After becoming female, Mizuki quickly starts to fall for Takeru. But becoming male again doesn't suddenly make Mizuki stop being in love with him. One possibility is that Mizuki was always attracted to boys and the transformation didn't actually change that. Another is that it did shift his orientation toward males, but Mizuki's feelings for Takeru specifically grew past the point of needing it.
  • Ambiguous Gender Identity: Mizuki insists that he wants to be manly and turn back into a boy as soon as possible. However, there are many hints that Mizuki actually enjoys girly stuff more than he likes to admit and had since long before being turned biologically female. Whether it was brought on by Loki's forceful transformation or being a girl was just a convenient excuse to stop pretending is never stated directly, but even after Mizuki spends some time as a male again, she happily embraces a new life as a girl.
  • Attractive Bent-Gender: Mizuki is incredibly cute both as a boy and as a girl, though outside of anatomical differences he doesn't look especially different. People of both genders keep falling for Mizuki and many don't care about Mizuki's gender because Mizuki is beautiful either way.
  • Because You Were Nice to Me: Mizuki developed his crush on Fujiwara because she helped him out when a guy was making fun of his girly handkerchief.
  • Butt-Monkey: Through his entire life, Mizuki's feminine looks made it impossible for anyone to view him as a guy. Even his crush thinks of him as a girl and likes his Best Friend better. As if things weren't difficult enough for him, the goddess Loki chooses him as her personal plaything and sets out to put him through any humiliation she can think of.
  • Childhood Friend Romance: With Takeru. They have been best friends since childhood and once Mizuki turns into a girl, the romantic and sexual tension between them only keeps growing. They become a couple and start dating at the end of the series.
  • Class Representative: He's the representative of his class along with Fujiwara, which allows him to spend more time with her.
  • Claustrophobia: Mizuki is a bit scared of being trapped in an enclosed space because of a childhood trauma involving his father locking up him in a warehouse as punishment for wearing girl's clothes.
  • Clingy Jealous Girl: As Mizuki develops feelings for Takeru as a girl, Mizuki becomes easily jealous when Takeru is with girls like Fujiwara and Imai.
  • Covert Pervert: Mizuki can have very lewd fantasies involving Takeru.
  • Dude Looks Like a Lady: He looks so much like a girl that everyone has mistaken him for one his entire life. Things only become more complicated for him after Loki turns him into a real girl. After Mizuki begins dressing as a girl but becomes a Sex Shifter, no one can tell when he's in male form unless he's undressed.
  • Expository Hairstyle Change: Mizuki has short hair for most of the series. In the final chapter, Mizuki now has long hair since she decided to stay a girl forever.
  • Expository Pronoun: Mizuki was originally a boy and keeps using the boyish first-person pronoun boku after getting a magical sex change because he still wants to think of himself as a boy. Ultimately, Mizuki chooses to stay a girl, but keeps referring herself as boku to show she isn't going to give up all of her boyish personality traits even though she identifies as a girl now and it's one of the last remnants of her previous male identity.
  • Flowers of Femininity: Even before the transformation into a girl, Mizuki has always been very beautiful and feminine. Mizuki occasionally wears flower hair ornaments when wearing girl's clothes. There are also illustrations of Mizuki holding flowers or being surrounded by them.
  • Friend to Bugs: Mizuki loves insects and collecting them is one of his favorite hobbies.
  • Gender Bender: Loki turns him into a girl just to mess with him.
  • Gender Bender Angst: All Mizuki has ever wanted is being viewed and taken seriously as a man after a lifetime of everyone except for his male best friend treating him like a girl because of his feminine looks. Being transformed into a real girl by a trickster goddess makes his goal of being manly even more impossible. He considers being a girl prevents him from confessing to his crush Fujiwara, which is his main motivation for turning back into a boy quickly. Eventually, however, Mizuki comes to enjoy being a girl and it's shown Mizuki had girly interests since a young age, but was forced to act manly by his father. At the end of the manga, Mizuki turns down the chance of turning back into a boy because she wants to stay a girl and date Takeru.
  • Gender-Blender Name: Mizuki is a very feminine Japanese name.
  • Girls Love Stuffed Animals: Mizuki loves stuffed animals, something that comes from before turning into a girl.
  • Girly Girl with a Tomboy Streak: Mizuki gradually grows to embrace being a girl in body and mind, but she retains some tomboyish traits. In the epilogue, Mizuki has let her hair grow long and dresses very femininely, but she still loves bugs and has become the leader of the female aikido club.
  • Going Commando: He refuses to wear bras after his transformation into a girl because he still thinks of himself as a boy.
  • Green-Eyed Epiphany: Mizuki starts to realize he has feelings for Takeru when he finds himself getting jealous of Takeru spending time with Fujiwara instead of him.
  • Hime Cut: In the final chapter, Mizuki now has blunt bangs, cheek-length sidelocks and bra strap length straight hair. This represents Mizuki becoming more ladylike now that she has accepted her new life as a girl.
  • I Didn't Mean to Turn You On: After becoming a girl, he doesn't realize that his new female body and some of the things he does make Takeru's hormones go out of control.
  • I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: After he confirms Fujiwara likes Takeru, Mizuki decides to try and help her get together with Takeru so Fujiwara can be happy.
  • I Want to Be a Real Man: A philosophy Mizuki was made to adopt by his father as a way to combat his girly appearance.
  • If It's You, It's Okay: Over the course of the series, Mizuki falls in love with Takeru. Despite blaming it on the transformation into a girl, Mizuki spends some time switching between male and female, realizing those feelings for Takeru remain either way.
  • Lascivious Beauty Mark: There's a beauty mark below the corner of Mizuki's mouth. Due to his feminine beauty, men repeatedly ask Mizuki out and the goddess Loki turns him into a girl as a prank. Mizuki is shown partially or completely naked in almost every chapter, and attracts lots of attention from both genders throughout the series. Even Mizuki's own father is obsessed with Mizuki's beauty.
  • Long Hair Is Feminine: In the final chapter, Mizuki has let her hair grow long now that she decided to live as a girl.
  • Loving a Shadow: Throughout the entire manga, Mizuki thinks he is in love with Fujiwara and wants to turn back into a boy to be with her. In the final chapters, however, it's revealed that Mizuki's feelings for Fujiwara were actually based on admiration for her femininity rather than romantic attraction.
  • Matchmaker Crush: Mizuki gets a double dose of this. Mizuki has feelings for Takeru and Fujiwara at the same time, yet decides to try and help Fujiwara get together with Takeru because Mizuki wants them both to be happy.
  • Ms. Fanservice: The only body we see possibly see more of than Mizuki's is Yamada.
  • Nice Guy: Mizuki is very polite and kind.
  • No Bisexuals: Mizuki starts the series with a crush on Fujiwara, but over the series grows increasingly attracted to Takeru. Ultimately, Mizuki's attraction to Fujiwara is portrayed as an admiration for her femininity that he mistook as romantic feeling.
  • Oblivious to Love: Mizuki fails to realize Takeru's growing attraction to him and never noticed Mei has a crush on him until she confesses to him. Mizuki also mistakenly believes Imai is in love with Takeru when she's obsessively in love with Mizuki.
  • Official Couple: With Takeru. The series ends with Mizuki deciding to live as a girl and become Takeru's girlfriend.
  • Onee-sama: Tamako calls Mizuki this after becoming infatuated with him.
  • Only Has Same-Sex Admirers: Mizuki has always been very popular with guys and received several love confessions from them because of his girly looks, much to his dismay. To make it worse for him, some guys weren't discouraged when he told them he was a boy and the girl he likes only saw him as One of the Girls. After getting turned into an actual girl, Mizuki gets admirers of both sexes.
  • Reluctant Fanservice Girl: Ever since he turned into a girl, Mizuki keeps getting in embarrassing situations where he ends up either naked or wearing girly clothes. This is very frustrating for him.
  • Rose-Haired Sweetie: Mizuki is a lovable cutie with deep pink hair.
  • Sacred First Kiss: Mizuki punches Takeru when the latter steals Mizuki's first kiss in the heat of the moment.
  • Samaritan Relationship Starter: Back when they first met, Mizuki thought Takeru was just a troublesome kid who got into fights all the time and everyone avoided. One day, some bullies ripped up Mizuki's treasured stuffed animal and Takeru had his mom fix it up so he could give it back to Mizuki. After that, Mizuki realized Takeru was a really nice kid and they became best friends.
  • Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: The Sensitive Guy to Takeru's Manly Man.
  • Sex Shifter: In the last third of the series, Loki uses her magic so that Mizuki's body will change back and forth between boy and girl depending on him being flustered about Fujiwara or Takeru respectively. Once Thor forces Loki to return to Asgard, Mizuki is allowed to choose a permanent gender.
  • She Cleans Up Nicely: When Mizuki puts on a dress, s/he looks so good that Takeru is dumbfounded.
  • Single-Target Sexuality: Mizuki falls in love with Takeru over the course of the series, whereas the feelings Mizuki had Fujiwara originated from mere admiration for her femininity. Therefore, Mizuki only ever felt romantic and sexual attraction for Takeru.
  • Single Woman Seeks Good Man: After becoming a girl, Mizuki begins to feel attracted to Takeru because he's such a Nice Guy and a great friend. Mizuki admits to have "admired" Takeru since childhood because he's honest, diligent, and kind to everyone.
  • So Beautiful, It's a Curse: He's so beautiful that nobody could believe it when he was a guy and he gets a lot of unwanted attention from creepy weirdos.

  • Strong Family Resemblance: He looks identical to his deceased mother.
  • Teeny Weenie: When he was a boy, he was very self-conscious about the small size of the "kitten" in his crotch.
  • Through His Stomach: In the bonus final chapter, Mizuki decides to make a bento for Takeru now that they're officially a couple. Takeru, however, gets worried because Tamako taught Mizuki how to cook. Surprisingly, Mizuki's bento turns out to actually be good.
  • Tsundere: Mizuki shows subtle signs of a Sweet type. Mizuki is polite and sweet-tempered, but has a very hard time coming to terms with feeling attracted to Takeru after becoming a girl. It's also obvious Mizuki likes girly stuff and just doesn't want to admit it.
  • Unresolved Sexual Tension: With Takeru. They are clearly attracted to each other, but issues such as their friendship from before Mizuki turned into a girl and Mizuki wishing to turn back into a boy keep them from giving in to those feelings and getting together. Thankfully, they get together at the end of the series.

    Takeru Ichimonji 

Takeru Ichimonji

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ichimonji_takeru.jpg

  • Hunk: He's very muscular, as shown well in chapter 1.

  • I Got Bigger: He was actually shorter than Mizuki when they were kids, but he came to tower over him after they went through puberty.

  • Strong Family Resemblance: He looks just like a younger version of his father.

  • Because You Were Nice to Me: She developed a crush on Takeru after he helped her when she tripped on her way to school.
  • Boyish Short Hair: She had very short hair when she was a tomboyish child. In the final chapter, Fujiwara has cut her hair to shoulder-length to represent how she has grown more comfortable with expressing her interest in Tokusatsu.
  • Cannot Spit It Out: She can't bring herself to confess her feelings for Takeru. The one time she got to tell him, she didn't say it properly and he misunderstood it as her saying she liked Mizuki.

  • Closet Geek: She's a Tokusatsu fan, but tries to be discreet about it because she thinks it's weird for a girl to like that sort of thing.

  • The Ditz: She's quite the airhead.
  • Girly Girl with a Tomboy Streak: She's very cute, girly, and happens to love mecha and tokusatsu superheroes. She often behaves more masculine than the manliness-obsessed Mizuki.
  • The Glasses Gotta Go: She wore Opaque Nerd Glasses in middle school. Since these made her appear rather plain-looking, Mizuki can't even recognize her in an old photo. She looks way cuter without glasses.

  • Romantic Runner-Up: She's a very sweet girl, Mizuki likes her a lot from the beginning and she eventually returns those feelings after they become closer. Too bad for her that the manga is built around Mizuki and Takeru's budding romance.

  • Single Woman Seeks Good Man: She likes Takeru because he's a very nice and supportive guy.
  • Terrible Artist: Her landscape picture looks more like a painting from Picasso.

  • Historical Gender Flip: This Loki is a girl while the original Loki from Norse Mythology was male, although he also could turn into a woman (or basically anything else). Lampshaded near the end of the manga when Takeru points out the mythological figure Loki is supposed to be a guy after he forgets all about the Loki he knew as a classmate.
  • Immortal Immaturity: While she's an ancient goddess, Loki acts like a mischievous little girl who only wants to cause trouble so she doesn't get bored. Might be justified since she is the goddess of trickery and that makes her a childish prankster by nature.

  • Token Mini-Moe: She's a preteen-looking girl among a cast made of high school students. Funnily enough, she's the oldest of them by far.

Mizuki's strict father who always told him he had to be manly. It turns out he has a big secret regarding why he always wanted Mizuki to be manly.


  • Beneath the Mask: He makes himself look like the strict and dignified head of the Suzushiro household. It's not long before he reveals himself as a Large Ham who secretly has the hots for his own child.
  • Boyfriend-Blocking Dad: After he finds a half-naked Mizuki getting kissed by Takeru, he absolutely freaks out and tries to force Mizuki to break ties with Takeru. Since he has found out Mizuki is a girl now, he also asks the school to transfer Mizuki into the girls' dorm as he can't tolerate a female Mizuki staying at the boys' dorm.
  • Large Ham: When it comes to Mizuki, he gets very loud and over-the-top.
  • Pervert Dad: He has some disturbing urges concerning his child because Mizuki is so cute and feminine-looking, to the point of keeping a Stalker Shrine. Mizuki also mentions his father always took baths with him when he was a boy.
  • Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: He hates Takeru's father because the latter has been annoying him since their childhood. He's even angrier at Takeru's father after finding out Takeru "seduced" Mizuki.
  • Stalker Shrine: He has a secret lair where he keeps all his old pictures and videos of Mizuki.
  • Stalker with a Crush: He has been keeping a very close eye on Mizuki since the latter was little. Almost all of Mizuki's childhood photos have the father following and spying on Mizuki in the background.
  • Unnamed Parent: We never get to know his name.

Mizuki's senior and a prefect who keeps telling Mizuki to wear the girl's uniform after his secret gets out. She has a reputation for always being serious and cold. She's actually a lesbian and is secretly in love with Mizuki.


  • Aloof Dark-Haired Girl: Imai is a dark-haired girl who has an ice-cold attitude and is admired by other girls for her coolness. It's subverted when it's revealed her aloofness is just a front and she acts anything but cool when it comes to her crush on Mizuki.
  • Attractiveness Isolation: The final chapter reveals Imai is very popular with girls, but she didn't know because these girls only admired her from afar because of her unapproachable personality and only gather the courage to confess when Mai graduates.
  • Beneath the Mask: She puts up the front of a very stern and proper prefect when she's really a possessive lesbian stalker.
  • Cannot Spit It Out: She can never gather the courage to tell Mizuki or any of the girls she liked before how she feels.
  • Clingy Jealous Girl: She wants to eliminate Takeru because he's the man who is closest to her target of affection, Mizuki.
  • Covert Pervert: No one would expect the strict prefect to be a lesbian stalker.
  • Does Not Like Men: She hates men because they aren't cute like girls and they keep stealing away the girls she likes.
  • Entitled to Have You: She accuses men of "stealing" the girls that she "deserved" even though she never dares to let those girls know her feelings and does nothing but stalk them.
  • Even the Girls Want Her: In the final chapter, Imai discovers she's the object of many girls' admiration and affection, to her great delight.
  • Girlish Pigtails: She ties her hair into twin braids.
  • Jumping the Gender Barrier: She felt attracted to Mizuki as a boy, but wasn't comfortable with it because she's a lesbian. Once she learns Mizuki became a girl, she has nothing holding her back anymore and becomes Mizuki's secret Stalker with a Crush.
  • Love at First Sight: She fell for male Mizuki at first sight, even though she's a lesbian. When she learns Mizuki is now a girl, she becomes even more infatuated.
  • Love Confessor: In chapter 92, she admits to Takeru that she's in love with Mizuki.
  • Nosebleed: She gets these whenever she gets too overly excited over girls.
  • Psycho Lesbian: Played for Laughs. She's crazy about girl Mizuki and wants to get rid of Takeru because she can't stand to see Mizuki with a man. She makes several attempts to harm Takeru such as giving him poisoned food, but it always fails.
  • Only Has Same-Sex Admirers: To Mai's joy, several of her female underclassmen confess they love her when she graduates.
  • Repetitive Name: Mai Imai
  • Shipper with an Agenda: She tries to get Fujiwara and Takeru together so she can have Mizuki to herself. It doesn't work out for her because Fujiwara has already started losing interest in Takeru.
  • Stalker Shrine: She keeps a shrine dedicated to Mizuki in her bedroom. It includes Mizuki handmade dolls.
  • Stalker with a Crush: She has a habit of following and spying on the girls she's attracted to.
  • Tsundere: Subverted. Mizuki thinks Mai is one of these towards Takeru, assuming she has a crush on him and puts on an aloof front out of embarrassment. In reality, Mai hates Takeru for real and her actual crush is Mizuki. She's only forcing herself to approach Takeru with the intention of getting rid of him.
