Futaba-kun Change

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Studio Ironcat brought Hiroshi Aro's Futaba-kun Change! to English-speaking readers, a gender-bending romantic comedy that follows high school student Futaba, whose family curse causes him to physically transform into a girl when aroused. Running for eight issues, the series is best known for its energetic, ecchi humor and its exploration of identity and relationships through a chaotic, supernatural premise. A cult favorite from the early days of English-translated manga, it stands as a memorable example of the era's willingness to import offbeat, genre-bending Japanese comics.
