History Manga / FamilyCompo

[[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent Ordinary college student]] Masahiko goes to live with his aunt and uncle, Yukari and Sora Wakanae. While initially excited about meeting his relatives for the first time, he soon discovers that his lovely aunt Yukari is physically male and his handsome uncle Sora is physically female.

[[{{Understatement}} He doesn't take it well]]. However, given Masahiko's current fate - living alone in a fetid apartment that he can't afford and with [[ParentalAbandonment no family to return to]] - he decides to stay anyway. Eventually, Masahiko's desire for a real home coincide with with the Wakanaes' surprising generosity to anyone who is willing to accept their family at face value, and he quickly becomes HappilyAdopted into the household.

By the mangaka Tsukasa Hojo, ''Family Compo'' is a SliceOfLife manga that, perhaps, is a more realistic than average depiction of transsexuality.

* HaveIMentionedThatIAmHeterosexualToday: Masahiko primarily, but most of the characters invoke this trope at one point or another, which is odd considering the manga's focus on transsexuality and alternative gender expression. It's justified at least with Sora and Yukari, who are clearly monogamous and straight, but are far more comfortable with switched gender roles.

* BoobsOfSteel: Sora, a muscular guy who gets into fist-fights and knows kendo hasn't had his substantial breasts surgically removed. As a result, he cannot go to the beach, much to his chagrin.

* AuthorAvatar: Not the author, but the character Sora Wakanae has Sora Harukaze, who's idolized by people like Yoko. [[RatedMForManly And Harukaze isn't secretly a woman.]]

* RatedMForManly: Sora, in a more toned down version. There are several moments where either the author or Masahiko asks if Sora really is a woman.

* MisterSeahorse: Sora sees himself as a man, but is technically Shion's biologic mother. He initially refused, because men don’t give birth (and also a thing about his job), but agreed when he saw how saddened Yukari was by her inability to carry a child due to being biologically male. While he is ultimately glad that went through with having a child, his pride is greatly damaged when he's reminded of the process he went through for it to happen.
