* OutnumberedSibling: Mao has three elder sisters (Ako is the elder twin) perhaps explaining why he's not so put out by becoming a girl. Ironically, even as a boy Mao demonstrated more stereotypically feminine traits (particularly CuteClumsyGirl, ShrinkingViolet, and FeminineWomenCanCook) than the three of them put together.

* ContrivedCoincidence: The festival and the arrival of the letter just happen to coincide on Ako and Mao's 16th birthday. Though it's reasonable to assume that the festival was specifically scheduled for Ako's birthday since offering the maiden as a sacrifice on her 16th birthday is the whole point of the ceremony. Also, Ako and Mao being born the same day despite not being real twins.
* DangerousSixteenthBirthday: The festival takes place on Ako and Mao's 16th birthday. Their father's letter confirms that Ako and Mao do share a birthday even if they really aren't twins.

* [[BigBrotherInstinct Big Sister Instinct]]: Ako has always protected Mao...except this once, and the guilt is tearing her apart.

* DifferentForGirls: inherent in the premise. Unusually, it's primarily focused on how different is is for ''everyone else'' (mostly Akoya) now that Mao is a girl. Ako is less than thrilled to help Mao learn feminine deportment because she doesn't want Mao to be a girl at all.

* GenderBender

to:

* GenderBenderGenderBender: Mao takes his sister's place in a holy ritual meant for a young woman, and the god responds by actually making him a girl.
* GenderBenderAngst: Played with. Mao appears to have [[SecondLawOfGenderBending accepted her]] GenderBender, it's Ako and Jiu who continue to object. Ako because she's wracked with guilt and Jiu because he thinks it's a travesty that no one appears interested in curing his best friend. However, Mao's inner monologue reveals that [[DoubleSubversion she's not as complacent as she appears]], just trying to put the best face on things.



* JumpingTheGenderBarrier Mao's best friend Jiu is not prepared for his own reaction to his newly feminized friend

* VirginSacrifice: The village elder speculates that perhaps the true, original form of the "maiden sacrifice" is a boy sacrificing his manhood to ''become'' a maiden. You have to admit a sex change is a much bigger sacrifice than a boat ride.

Unfortunately, this year there's a problem. This year's sacrificial maiden, Akoya Nota (Ako to her friends) is prone to seasickness and hates boats. So her beloved twin brother Mao decides he'll go in her stead and protect his more outgoing sister just as Ako has always protected him. Mao dons the robes and boards the boat while Ako is distracted. They may not look anything alike but they're about the same size and in the robes and the dark who's to know? Well, apparently the God knows, because there's a loud booming sound followed by a dense fog, and when boat drifts back to shore the next morning Mao's been turned into a girl!

* NoExportForYou: Hasn't been licensed and probably won't be, since it doesn't plow any new ground
