Cheeky Angel

Hiroyuki Nishimori's Cheeky Angel (2004–2008) is a 20-issue comedy manga from Viz that flips the gender-swap premise on its head. The story follows a young boy who, after a chance encounter with a mysterious magician, is transformed into a beautiful and incredibly capable young woman—but with the soul and memories of a boy still intact. Nishimori blends slapstick humor with genuine heart as the protagonist navigates school life, friendships, and the absurd complications of her new existence. A lighthearted, character-driven series from the mid-2000s, it's a playful take on identity and adolescence from a beloved creator.
