I suggest you to stop if you don't want to see a Creator who doesn't act like a god, I mean he still has emotions unlike a god in general who is cold and look down on the world
Or giga chad, overpowered?
hope there are cure moments between them
I was surprised to find there is an official END, but it also leaves me disheartened because so much is left hanging, with many questions unanswered. The ending is ambiguous, and it seems like it was either forced due to poor sales by the publisher or perhaps due to Hojo losing interest in continuing. I sincerely hope it wasn't the latter because we were so close to the end; honestly, it would have taken just one more volume max to wrap things up nicely, leaving little unresolved. Instead, it feels like the end was called abruptly, giving Hojo only two chapters to conclude everything.
Nevertheless, I'm happy because I absolutely LOVED this series. I laughed (a lot) and cried more than I'd care to admit. I truly cared about every character in this series, all of whom were brought to life so vividly. Without a doubt, it doesn't delve too deeply into its LGBT themes as some might wish, but this series isn't really about the struggles of someone who is LGBT. Instead, it's more about the journey of someone, in this case Masahiko, discovering that there's more to people than just a defined gender (it's what's on the inside that counts, etc.) and what that realization means for himself, especially regarding how he feels about those around him. At least, that's my rough interpretation :P
Read it. The story is heartfelt, and Hojo's art is stunning.

There's no deep or coherent narrative; instead, it revolves around the everyday lives and daily escapades of various characters, ranging from trivial acts like helping a friend to more profound struggles like grappling with one’s identity. It's simple and pleasant, and could have been quite effective if the humor consistently hit the mark. Regrettably, almost every issue, misunderstanding, or joke pivots around gender themes—whether it's the main character unwillingly cross-dressing and consequently stirring up trouble, or people inexplicably turning gay. The lack of comedic variety leads to stagnation, as the same shallow jokes become tiresome over the course of a long-running manga.
The dramatic elements fare slightly better, as some storylines adeptly portray specific situations, evoking empathy in readers. Nevertheless, they aren't sufficient to salvage the entire work since comedy dominates, occasionally overshadowing the drama. Moreover, there's unnecessary or poorly executed drama at times. For instance, romance is underdeveloped, serving merely as a vehicle to introduce (or rehash) problems, culminating in dramatic resolutions before being promptly forgotten. Consequently, the pacing suffers, even for what appears to be a leisurely slice-of-life manga.
The characters also bear the brunt of the comedy, particularly the protagonist, whose defining trait is naivety, making him an easy target for endless predicaments. Character development is minimal, as this isn't a manga centered on serious issues; everything that transpires is largely for comedic effect and often lacks depth or explanation for the audience. That said, some growth does occur when genuine problems arise, showcasing both the main and secondary casts thinking more seriously. All characters are likable, though some can grow wearying with their repetitive jokes. Each has a story to tell, which is always a positive aspect as readers gain insight into various characters' lives or pasts. However, most characters lack significant impact.
F. Compo features realistic art with a wealth of facial expressions. Cross-dressing scenes are handled competently, though occasionally characters resemble Superman—simply removing glasses renders them unrecognizable, which strains credibility when others fail to notice. Backgrounds are unremarkable, and while most characters appear unique, some look rather generic. Overall, the art is straightforward but adequate, effectively conveying the intended messages.
Personally, I expected this to be more serious, and while discovering it wasn't didn't deter me initially, I was deeply disappointed by the over-reliance on superficial gender jokes, the absence of deeper contemplation, the misapplication of such thoughts, and the random events suggesting the creator had run out of ideas. This could have been far more heartwarming, but it continually circled back to the same tropes.
