The Gender of Mona Lisa

[yume19]

As an intersex person I really resonate with the feelings of the main character. Thank you @JasmineTea for translating it.

Thanks for translating it in the first place, a lot of us don't mind the wait!

The main characters friends are EXTREMELY selfish. How can you treat someone like a doll and want them to become a certain gender for you? It’s terrible and narcissistic to think that way. If I was the main character I would drop both those so called “friends” immediately for thinking I’m just some toy for pleasure!

At the beginning, I related to Hinase, as I'm gender-neutral. It was an interesting plot, and I was looking forward to character developpement and personal reflections.

However, the 5th chapter deceived me.

Spoiler

Now the manga is just a love triangle. I thought, maybe Hinase would be able to choose for themselves, like hey, they'll be a girl/a boy/gender-neutral because they wanted to, not to become someone's partner. I wanted an independent Hinase aaaaah
But no. The mangaka chose to ruin all my expectations for an interesting character developpement. (I'm not angry at her, just... sad.)

Wow, I really like this story. Psychological content told lightly with the addition of the pretty art. Might be my new fav next to Raise but too bad the author went missing - oh well

Yo, Shiori can fuck all the way off. I read till chapter 4, but I couldn't read past that. At least Ritsu realized she said something awful and reflected on how selfish she was being. Shiori of the other hand is just a selfish ass honestly, and Hinase is clearly going to be influenced by that overbearing asshole instead of making their own decision on whether they want to a man, woman, neither, or both.

What the heck is this crap genderswap manga? I don't know any Monalisa. Make them either m or f. (prefered f)

For all the people who keep saying stuff like "I Hate Shiori or whats her face for trying to make Hinase m/f blah blah", listen up, nobody is making Hinase choose any specific gender, alright? They're just giving Hinase a REASON TO CHOOSE. Shiori didn't hold a gun to Hinase's head and demand they become a girl. Alright? So let's all sip some tea and chillax.

 

[Rdrop]

No matter how interesting the concept is, it just can't work out with how terrible the male and female lead characters are. Yeah, they aren't "forcing" Hinase, but they essentially want them to change their gender to suit their preference? Like that's so weird and gross. Not to mention all the other biological bs like "more touching will affect Hinase's gender"... Just no.

Please be a yaoi Please be a yaoi Please be a yaoi Please be a yaoi Please be a yaoi Please be a yaoi

What's with all the weirdos obsessed with mc's friends having a preference for mc's gender? Yeah, other people around you express their will for you. It's normal. "Be nicer!", "Be calmer", "Be more of a girl!" So what? You can still do what you want. Honestly expressing your will and wishes to each other is what friends (and lovers) do. There cannot be mutuality without the strength to withstand honesty! Only loneliness and subpar relationships.

I see a lot of people made their opinion on the manga after 3rd, 4th or 5th chapter... Like about Hinase character development and future content and feel for exaple "sad" about it. Isn't it a little to fast? I see a big potential in this manga but I'm not a fortuneteller so I don't know how it will develop. Isn't it better to judge something after reading it whole or at least a couple of chapters more? Beginnings can't say much about the whole work.
And what's wrong with saying your own feelings? Hmmm I wish I sometimes had the courage like Hinase's friends

@Comic_nerd1012
Umm honestly i don't think they're treating him like a doll... i mean its natural to have a preferred gender as a significant other and they're just exerting their own preferences onto him. they're not forcing him to become one gender they literally just said "i like you! become a boy/girl for me!" which isn't wrong i mean i'm pretty sure a lot of people would do the same with someone they like if they were in this situation. and don't say that this isn't you because c'mon, You have a prefered gender you want to date right? (unless your bi pan etc) can you be really honest and say i don't care what gender my gender conflicted crush chooses to be?

I just want to say I'm not saying this to say your wrong but because i think theirs a deeper meaning to what those friends say

 

[Comic_nerd1012]

I am pansexual and like all genders But regardless his/her friends should not force their preferences upon he/her just because they like them because in the end it’s his/her choice and if they were real friends they would realize that and still want to be his/her friend which ever gender they preferred to be.

 

[Sem]

I dunno, I'll hang on for a little longer and see what the author has to say but like...
This world is missing a lot of nuance.
Gender and sexuality don't go hand in hand. What you're attracted to and what you want to present as have nothing to do with each other. You don't need to want to present femininely to justify liking men, nor the other way around.
Damn though, a world full of natural enbies, and they're still being corralled into gender roles.
