Manga review: Kashimashi

At the mall the other day, I just randomly picked up this manga, because it was an omnibus, I liked the artwork, and it was labeled as a yuri. I don't see many yuri manga so I was pretty excited to sit down and read this. To my knowledge, there are two volumes of the onmibus, and I've only read volume one, but I love the story so far. I can't wait to read the second half.



The story is about a young boy, who is actually very feminine, who falls in love with a girl in his class, who just happens to love him back... Great? Right? No, see, the thing is, girl is a lesbian, and she rejects his love confession. Until a magical alien space ship nearly kills him, and in the process of reviving him, changes him to a girl. Now he has to overcome his(I mean, her) feelings as a male and accept that she is now permanently female, and part of what she now thinks is that girls don't love girls, even though now two girls are in love with him. He has to make a choice on who, or what he wants in this crazy romantic tale.

I've heard that there is an anime out there, once I watch it, I'll review it as well. I'm super exited and I hope the anime does justice to the manga.\
