Oh….yeah that’s very confusing to me as well.
Some orc females in mangas are indistinguishable from males.
However, I believe that’s a male, since his transformation left him shirtless.
This manga is nowhere 10, 9 or even 8/10 but what it is is cute, mature and wholesome with a decent mc and adorable FMC and it does a decent job keeping it simple enough to not be too overwhelming to tilt completely away from the romance/wholesome feel of it but also still keeping it in a pace to not make it too sol-ish by adding more plots here and there. A 7.5/10. Further bettering it is possible but what it is for now is not bad either.
