Boku Girl

A light novel spin-off, Boku Girl: Boku no Arbeit, was released in 2015. The story follows Mizuki Suzushiro, who initially is depicted as a young, feminine man. Selected by the bored god Loki as a target for a magical prank, Mizuki wakes up one morning with breasts and a vagina; the transformation becomes a catalyst for self-discovery and for an exploration of Mizuki's sexuality. While adapting to the change, Mizuki is supported by Takeru Ichimonji, a childhood friend, and Yumeko Fujiwara, a classmate Mizuki has a crush on. The series was well received for its comedy and romance, its art and character design, and its use of transgender themes. It performed well commercially across gender demographics, with many copies bought by women. Its commercial success was in part attributed to its story and art, and in part to the popularity of feminization and homosexuality as themes in manga.

It is recorded as the work of Akira Sugito. Publication is recorded by Young Jump Comics. It is associated with Japan. Recorded genres are romantic comedy anime and manga, ecchi and LGBT-related literature. The recorded subject matter is transitioning and trans woman.

Boku Girl is a transgender-themed ecchi romantic comedy, and follows Mizuki Suzushiro, who in the beginning of the series is depicted as a male high school student with a feminine beauty, which often causes Mizuki to be seen as a woman and get flirted with by men, and an insecurity over a lack of masculinity. When the bored Norse trickster god Loki decides to play a prank on humans, she picks Mizuki as her target, and the next morning Mizuki is shocked to wake up with breasts and a vagina. Although Mizuki initially is opposed to the transformation, it serves as a catalyst for self-discovery and exploration of sexuality, and for development and confirmation of Mizuki's hidden femininity, while Mizuki adapts to living as a woman and gradually begins to like it.

Mizuki Suzushiro (鈴白 瑞樹, Suzushiro Mizuki) is the series' main character, a feminine high school student with an insecurity over a lack of masculinity, whose father always stressed the importance of acting like a man. Mizuki has been friends with Takeru since childhood and has a crush on Yumeko. Takeru Ichimonji (一文字 猛, Ichimonji Takeru) is Mizuki's childhood friend, who offers support. After the transformation, Takeru finds himself attracted to Mizuki. Yumeko Fujiwara (藤原 夢子, Fujiwara Yumeko) is one of Mizuki's classmates and has a crush on Takeru. Loki (ロキ, Roki) is a trickster god from Norse mythology, who in her boredom likes to subject humans to magical pranks.
