Kashimashi ~Girl Meets Girl~

It's kind of late in the game to write this comment, especially since most of the chapters were purged, but I'll leave this here for posterity.

For a gender-bending story, which facilitates its most important plot-point to be "I changed from a guy to a girl, how am I going to lead my life now?", it is very peculiar, incredibly peculiar, that most of the starting chapters are NOT about how the protagonist feels about his physiological transformation, but the narrative instead focuses on how OTHER PEOPLE feel about how cute he became. Especially his couple of female buddies.
You see, apparently the author thought that nobody cares how the protagonist feels, what sort of psychological change the protagonist goes through...Nah, let's focus on his friends going : "omg you're a girl that distresses me", all the while the protagonist is treated like a zombie with no emotions. It's incredibly stupefying to see that his closest friends can only think of themselves instead of being supportive of their friend. 

Also, the plot of this manga is the most remarkably contrived asspull I had have ever seen. It's like the author never even thought of trying.
If you think of reading this manga, do remember : This is DEFINITELY a shoujo. Which means that, regardless of the circumstance, the focus will be on the relationship "oh do I like him do I not?" infinite loop.
P.S: Wow, THIS author wrote Abenobashi Magical Arcade..?? I can't even feel the resemblance..Huh.

First this is not a shoujo, rather this manga doesn't have a specific target audience, also Shoujo Ai, like Shonen Ai, is a genre, unlike Shonen or Shoujo, who are demographic groups.

Second, nowadays it may be common for authors to focus on character development first, but this was not necessarily true a few decades ago.

A story can focus its narrative in the PoV of other characters, it's not that the main character is empty, rather, the author wants us to see the main character as someone else, as opposed to the "ME" perspective people became so used to see, and to treat it as the right way to do things.

In short, the author is not wrong to do things his way, in fact it's just another kind of narrative that is no longer in use ever since people becaple unable to imagine or infer information from a 3rd person perspective.

And yes i'm being rude. As someone who used to love books and fantasy stories, the current meta is definitely harming many genres. And many kinds of "pure" stories are disappearing for more " modern-urban-common-sense-using" ones, because people can't simply imagine something without resorting to what they're used to in their daily lives, anymore.

I fear the day when imagination itself will simply die out, and people will stop creating things.
