Although in recent years, the audience of anime has been significantly broader, in general, the target group of anime, especially Japanese manga, is still dominated by men.
It is precisely for this reason that many classic heroines have been born in Japanese comics, but there are dozens of different cute attributes. In contrast, there are only a few successful male protagonists.
And a few of the male protagonists who can be remembered, most of them also have their own uniqueness that is obviously different from others.
For example, the campus four that are talked about by fans, a few scumbag characters in the anime, the dragon aurors who play a handsome and first-class skill, or the women's clothing that makes people shine from the setting / wake up and suddenly become a beautiful girl.
Regarding women's clothing characters, they are often used in daily and school works; as for further becoming beautiful girls, they still appear more in fantasy and other-world anime in a funny style.
Especially in recent new seasons, with the slow pace, funny style of otherworld dramas have become more and more popular, and the examples of male protagonists becoming beautiful girls have also increased. Until the New Fan in January of this year, there were even 3 similar works.
The first is this "Sage who calls himself a disciple of the Sages."
As a light animation of an otherworldly genre, the game incorporates the VR elements that have been common in recent years in terms of theme setting. The other world that appears in the work is the world of the game played by the protagonist before.
The protagonist of the story originally created a white-haired sage named Dunboff in the game. In order to integrate into the character as much as possible and better shape his own sage image, he even calls himself an old decay when talking to his friends in reality.
One day, while playing a game, I accidentally fell asleep, woke up again, but crossed into the game, and also changed into the ideal beautiful girl with white hair and blue eyes...
The sage who calls himself a disciple of the Sage does not introduce much about the Dunbour period in the manga, and the opening scene is when he wakes up as a girl, and then after roughly explaining the worldview setting, it is the appearance of the main characters and the unfolding of the plot.
In contrast, the animation has been slightly changed. Almost two-thirds of the time in the first episode is spent introducing Dumbo, and it is not until the second half of the episode that he appears in a new look.
On the one hand, this is to make the character image more plump; on the other hand, it is also to compare the two diametrically opposed images of the sage and the beautiful girl to create a sense of contrast.
In terms of actual look and feel, the approach in the animation looks obviously more interesting.
The same white hair, the same clothes, the steady and sophisticated sage before, suddenly became a cute, very girly girl.
In order to further portray this contrast, the animation also deliberately arranged a scene without lines for a few minutes, and finally ended with "Old decay is really cute". While the drama is full, it also paves the way for the plot of the next episode.
In addition to "The Sage Who Claims to Be a Disciple of the Sage", the other two works in which the male protagonist becomes a beautiful girl are "Adventure with the Uncle Who Became a Beautiful Girl of the OtherWorld" and "Kuroi Tsu of the Strange Man Development Department".
The former is also a crossover.
One of the male protagonists, Tachibana Hyuga, was originally a 32-year-old office worker who had not yet been objected, and one day after attending the fraternity party, he met the goddess, and the other party threw the male protagonist into the other world without any explanation. And he also fulfilled his wish and transformed him into a beautiful girl with blonde hair and blue eyes.
The most important thing is that the friends I have known for more than ten years have also come together.
Yesterday they were good friends who confided in each other, but now they don't know what to call, and how the two will develop after that, it is interesting to think about it.
The latter, "Kuroi Tsu of the Strange Man Development Department", is a fantasy-oriented funny fan.
The place where the heroine works is a villain organization dedicated to creating strange people. At the beginning of the anime, he prepares to develop the next weirdo in order to catch up with the schedule.
According to the original idea, it should be a fierce-looking werewolf monster with the mind of a male middle school student, but he suddenly received an order from the boss and was forced to change it to the appearance of a girl.
However, this modification was limited to appearances, and due to insufficient budget, her mind still retained the previous plan. This also led to the fact that when I was born, I was very unaccustomed to my appearance.
The above three are the works of the male protagonist becoming a beautiful girl in the January new fan. And the look and feel of the first sentence is also quite good.
If there are fans who like it, it is still recommended that everyone follow it.
