I ranted on that for ages last time we had this thread, so I'm going to shut up this time, but I wholeheartedly agree that there needs to be a lot more variation.

Mai has a big cock

>>157524913
The majority of hentai has the girl getting fucked until she loves the cock, so genderbending doesn't really stand out in this.

Though genderbending is ideally suited for mindbreak since a genderbent character has even more reason to resist the dick than a regular girl and mindbreak works better the more the character resists initially.

>>157525790
Strange Mansion has the guy get a sex change operation so it's not quite the same as genderbending where a character is transformed into a biological woman.

Personally I love it when a genderbent character's mind also gradually turns into that of a girl to match their body and after struggling with that fact she succumbs to the urges of her new body and accepts that she's a woman.

To be fair, that could be justified to an extent by the fact the character isn't really accustomed to their new body and can't use it as effectively.

>>157525964
Except it's almost always explained as a girl's body being weaker, sadly

Just because a character likes boys and comes to consider herself a girl doesn't mean that she has to lose all her previous traits.

Mai has some boyish traits for example. E.g. she finds ninjas and transforming heroes to be very cool and she likes reptiles. Also she's brave and a skilled combatant and can be aggressive when she or her friends are threatened.

Twintails is more about being a hotblooded sentai parody rather than genderbending, all I'm just saying is it needs to be "Premise A with genderbending" rather than just genderbending some guy and working it from there, kind of like how Ranma was mostly wacky martial arts with genderbending on the side.

Yeah. The MC had always been a girl but had her memories altered to think she was a boy.

I was rather disappointed by all the retarded crap those rich families were able to pull off. Even if you ignore the existence of police like the manga did, Megumi was from a really poeerful family too so she shouldn't have been an underdog.

Drop it. The last thing this thread needs is this argument.

>>157527690
What argument is there about basic biology?

Boku girl is the gold standard for straight genderbender, but there are some similar manga that deal with changing gender which I can recommend.

Bokura no Hentai is about a transgender girl, so similar to Mizuki in a lot of ways. But it has a lot of the same story moments, such as starting to go to school in a girls' uniform. I really recommend this one if you're at all interested in LGBT themes in manga. I consider gender bender manga and transgender manga to be inseperable due to the protagonist either making peace with it or feeling intense discomfort with their new gender, so generally they're similar.

Nozomu Nozomi is short, but pretty similar to Boku Girl. The main character wishes to be a girl and becomes one, but keeps it a secret as they deal with the physical development of a pubescent girl. The art is really nice and its in full color.

Blazblue: Remix Heart doesn't really have the gender bending as the main story, but it is still a theme as the main character transformed into a girl a week before the plot, and gradually becomes a girl internally as well.

Finally, Shishunki Bitter Change isn't really gender bender, its a body swap manga, but it takes place over many years, with the main characters remaining switched all through middle school and into high school. I like this manga, because even though the main characters don't start to think as the opposite gender, it still deals with feelings of discomfort with your gender, for example: the girl in the boy's body feels discomfort about the size of her hands.

I think the beauty of gender bending is in either realizing that you wanted to be the chosen gender all along, or your thoughts and feelings realigning with your new gender. A lot of these manga deal with those themes of being at odds with your gender, which is something I bet a lot of you can relate to a little.

>>157527229
Mizuki should really have the transgender tag. In chapter 106, she discusses how she had always wanted to be a girl but suppressed and ignored those feelings.

>>157527818

>>157527818
The genderbending was very important for Remix Heart's story; it's why Mai got sent to the academy where the story unfolds, why she was able to remain incognito despite being the heir to a powerful noble family and why the girls wentvaround the academy looking for a way to help her (even if they didn't know what exactly they wanted to help her with).

Also it was central to Mai's character arc since much of her inner conflict and her identity crisis stemmed from her transformation. And the climax of Mai's story involved her accepting herself as she was.

If anything I'd say that this manga places more emphasis on the psychology and inner conflict of the protagonist than the majority of genderbender stories.

>>157528078
You have no idea what you're talking about.

>>157528125
I'd say it failed actually. I'd rather he put it back on so I don't have to see his autistic essays constantly repeated in every gender bender thread, and his stupid waifu in every single thread that's vague enough to warrant her.

>>157528140
Eh, I kinda disagree with you there. Yes it was important, but it often seemed to take a backseat to the overall story. Whereas boku girl has Mizuki discussing every single chapter about how she wants to return to being a boy, and is constantly put in awkward situations for a boy turned into a girl, Mai's story isn't really focused on the gender bending, rather than the search for the Azure Grimoire. I'd say its more the backstory for the manga than the actual plot of the manga, unlike Boku Girl that uses the gender bender as the plot.

True, not every chapter focused on the effects of Mai's transformation, but the manga did show Mai adjusting to life as a girl even if it didn't explicity draw attention to that.

For example, at first she didn't know how to choose clothes that fit her and was somewhat uncomfortable with womens' clothes, but she quickly learned how and got used to them. She initially thought of other girls as being different from her and didn't know much about how they acted towards one another but that gradually stopped as she spent time with them. She was initially embarrassed to be seen naked by other girls and vice versa but she got used to it and stopped minding after a while. At first she found it awkward to be hugged by her friends but towards the end she happily hugged them to show her affection. Early she didn't openly cry but later on she wasn't embarrassed to cry in front of others. She didn't show affection towards cute stuff such as the Torifune panda, but in Variable Heart she rushed to hug a young girl because she found her to be cute. And of course she stopped showing interest towards other girls and instead started being attracted towards boys.

And Mai accepting herself as a girl was the turning point of Mai's character arc and the point at which the manga concluded.

Difficult to say. In the most recent chapters, they go on a quiz show and end up spouting a whole load of vulgar shit. The TV producer gets seriously into it and requests a 4-way with them from the Boss, promising them to get them further up the publicity ladder, and the Boss being a total asshole roles with it. So far they tried to get out of it by horrifying the guy with a) Airi growing a full beard (again) and b) Mari exploding her tits (again). Unfortunately he was really into that as well, so now it's down to Chika to save them from getting fucked. That's the cliffhanger from the chapter that came out today, so who knows what'll happen next.

Same.

>>157548038
Ranma had it pretty good. One of the strongest martial artists in the world but with enough worthy adversaries to never feel unchallenged whilst also having an exciting harem and a killer body (both male and female).

Boipucelle had it pretty bad. Didn't even survive long enough to win the Snowbowl or even confess and was murdered horribly in only her second fight (and the first one wasn't much of a fight in the first place). Poor schmuck didn't even get much of a chance to develop his character and was actually killed entirely off-screen in the LN. Truly a shit tier fate.

Other people who died but actually came back would take second place for worst I guess, like Kaito and Tanya.

Dandy was meeting alternate universe versions of himself.

>>157548038
Does Log Horizon really count? They're two different entities, aren't they?

>>157548038
When did Kinnikuman get a girl version?

>>157548038
My favorites are Dandy, Ranma, Kite and Kanade.

>>157548506
Yeah, they're both the MC's characters, with her being a female version of his main.

>>157548506
Bottom row left isn't gender bender either.

>>157525795
What if a weak, tiny trap gets genderbent into a tall, muscular gyaru?

>>157548506
A lot of those don't really count. Qwaser for example only had the MC disguise himself as a girl. The Nisekoi one was presumably non-cannon.


>>157548592
That female avatar was created by the MC but is controlled by a different entity. It's not the same person.

At the very least, he got to meet future Snow White in a dream. Everyone else involved had a lot of fun except for Snow White.

>>157548592
But we never actually see Shiroe using his female avatar, do we, it's just Roe2 using it isn't it? Damn shame too. Or does that happen in the LNs?
Tetra or Akatsuki would probably be better choices anyway, although Tetra's male form is an unknown, I suppose.

>>157548781
That's a very small bit of sollace for what's probably the worst fate of any genderbender character. Outside of hentai, anyway.

>>157548566
Lady Kinnikuman.

>>157548506
I was going for more "male and female versions of the same character" comparisons. I guess I could go gender-bending only, but it would be a smaller chart.

>>157548695
>Qwaser for example only had the MC disguise himself as a girl

He got actual girl parts in the virtual reality segments. Remember that one scene where the tables were turn and she got HER tits sucked?

>>157548781
And he attacked her because he thought that future Snow White was a fake thanks to her character development.

>>157548695
But the MC saw her as his main character's female version when he created her.
I get that it's supposed to be a list of characters and what they look like when genderswapped in their series, but for all intents and purposes she's the genderswap version of MC's main character.

Virtual reality isn't really genderbending. Sure the MC had tits but he was fundamentally a man with a female avatar.

I had added the majority of the characters in this image (which is why it has Qwaser even though I don't think it should be there). I'm tempted to make a trimmed down version that only includes the MC from series focusing on genderbending rather than any series with a gag scene.

Hatsushiba had it pretty damn good too. Obviously having to keep his forms a secret for most of the series was a nuisance, but he had one of the best controls for switching forms and got unconditional love from both girls by the end. Pity the ending and general development was as shallow as a drained sieve.
>You will never have a cute tomboy accept both your male and female forms

I remember getting part of the way into OreTwintails but stopped after catching up during airing and never went back to it. Can't for the life of me remember why, I should probably go back to it at some pont.

>>157551195
Stay away from Ore Twintail. The entirety of the series was founded on a single bad joke and the characters were awful. It had a standard ultra-dense harem MC surrounded by one-dimensional girls who literally threw themselves to him and begged for sex only for him not realize they liked him. And of course the genderbending was practically an afterthought; the MC happened to transform into a girl to fight, but you could remove that and almost nothing would change about the series.

>>157550741
I agree. Gacha Gacha Secret was dumb, it didn't really do much with the genderbending aspect and just ended up being about an unpopular dude in a love triangle with two beautiful girls. And the story just kept dragging on without leading up to anything and the ending was both stupid and abrupt. The final story arc came completely out of nowhere to try and inject drama without building on anything that was shown before. And it was resolved through a stupid deus ex machina and it had no effect in the story or characters, making it all completely pointless.

That's the point, in Japan it's usually just a weird quirk or niche fetish relegated to manga or the occasional offbeat scenario in a few series. That's how it should stay, despite people somehow claiming that it's "uncommon" (it really isn't).

>>157568173
Nah, that's just Marvel. DC does it a little better.

>>157568765

Yeah no. Haven't played any Zelda games in a while, but from memory:

- A lot of scenarios involved gendered interactions and dialogue like with Princess Zelda and Ruto from Ocarina of Time. I've heard that the last Wii game (Skyward Sword) also has a lot of them
- Link is an established character, It doesn't even make canonical sense since the original legend is about a "boy rescuing a girl" (meaning Zelda and Link). Those were Miyamoto's words. Aside from slight variations like hair color when a new game came out on a new platform, it was mostly the same Link in a different universe (just like Zelda or Ganon). Just because Gordon Freeman from Half-Life is mute, doesn't mean you can change his gender at will
- Link has a been a boy for over 30 years, it would make no sense to change him suddenly now. They would've done it in the first few games if that was even on the map. The same people pushing for this would probably flip out if a female character like Samus or Zelda was "genderbent"

With an iconic character like Link, and the storytelling, it's a lot different from a Pokemanz game.

See, this is the exact kind of thing I'm talking about. Female Link used to be kind of shit that was limited to manga, fan fiction, and fetishes on the internet, now people seriously think it would be a good idea to break decades of consistency to have gender-neutral and genderbent "whatever" everywhere officially, regardless of whether it makes sense or not.

>>157567477
The appeal of stories focused on genderbending itself and the consequences of it is rather limited, which is why the gender bending stuff that gets animated either has other focus, like martial arts/comedy or is just a small story inside a larger show (like the Kokkuri-san two parter).

>>157568117
I don't see how genderbending in the sense of this thread is related to that at all though. Those are new characters replacing old ones, not old ones changed.

>>157569287
Link is an exception due to not really being a single character and having already gone through various design changes. Heck, in Breath of the Wild even the iconic tunic is reduced to an optional end-game reward for completing all shrines (and doesn't even appear in the backstory or anything else) or crossover items from the past game's Amiibos.

Now, obviously, some people, like yourself, disagree about that, but this kind of discussion only exists about Link due to his nature in the first place. You don't see people claiming for a gender option for Mario or Dante.

>Link is an exception due to not really being a single character and having already gone through various design changes.
So have other Zelda characters like Ganon and Zelda, or even just Nintendo characters like Fox or Samus. The justification for "genderbending" was always fan fiction and post-hoc rationalization though. Clothing changes, different hair colors, or one game having cel-shaded aesthetics don't suddenly turn a character into a complete genderless, raceless, species-less blank slate.

>this kind of discussion only exists about Link due to his nature in the first place
More like it's the only reason why they were able to push the "discussion" so far before getting blown the fuck out, whereas they don't have a case for most other characters.

Just one look at Western media, and it would show you that there doesn't need to be any rationale for it:

The only reason they haven't pushed it as far in Japan is because TPTB don't have complete control of the markets and production over there like they do in the West, so all they can do is use their control of the media to harass Japanese producers or get more control over platforms like Netflix to coerce them into doing it (see Black L in the new Death Note film)

Don't be bitching about Falcon becoming Captain America. They didn't just race swap Steve Rogers, and at least he's not Hydra. Wait, silly me, of course he is. the end game for marvel is everyone realizing it's just different factions of Hydra fighting each other to gain control of a world they already control and didn't realize.

If you want to be pissed, thor's probably your best choice there.

So? Do a lazy job, don't change any of the text, and thus make the female link gay. That's pretty much how this shit work in /v/idya. It's how we get the nonsense scene in Fate Extra where Rin tells the FeMC she doesn't understand girls. Which I guess is possible for a girl to not understand other girls, it's still silly to say to another girl.

If something would allow you to transfer your consciousness into another body, like some sort of weird ass brain transplant, while keeping nerves and all that I can see it happening in the not-too-distant future. I doubt gene therapy and surgery alone would be able to do the deed though.

GITS has a better chance of happening before that imo.

>The guy who created the witcher has a good point to use in this case. If you want a female adventure hero, go make a game
That's a pretty terrible point actually. Most people don't have the skill to make a game, and most of those who do are making games for someone else's company or don't really have the time. It's perfectly valid to ask game devs for content you'd like to see in their games, and devs are perfectly within their right to say fuck off if they don't want to. Then it's on you, the consumer, to give feedback on the decision with your money.

It's an especially bad reply in this case, since the standard for games like this has become heavy character customization. Now, there are legitimate arguments to the story telling potential of a preset character, and I'm not actually criticizing the Witcher or Zelda for going this route. Having a single predefined character means you can make the characterization more central to the story and don't need to worry about "what if the player made a character like this" when writing. One of the weaknesses with a game like mass effect is who shepard is can't be too tied up with the story, since who shepard is depends on who the player made Shepard. there are certainly valid arguments for both approaches. However, the guy should have said that and not "herp derp go make ur own gaem." That should never be and acceptable reply. It's just used to shut down criticism the person doesn't want to hear.

Because genderbender never talk about menstruation. Why change genre of men when they never bleed.
