MAIN STORY

The series premiered in 2004. Stopped in 2008 after 20 issues.

The starring character is the 15-year old schoolgirl Megumi Amatsuka, who is a real tomboy with an interest in fighting and martial arts. The background is that at the age of 9 Amatsuka was in fact a boy who managed to save a sorcerer from a beating up, and in gratitude the old man granted Amatsuka a wish. He then wished to be 'the manliest man on Earth', but the sorcerer was hard at hearing and made him 'the womanliest woman on Earth'. Now Amatsuka has to deal with this frustrating gender-bender problem.
