In this world, men are usually the most catered to. You could have any counter argument, but it's been a fact since medieval times that they have more power for whatever the excuse they gave at the time. Learning about all this, I've always wanted how things would be different if the roles were, reversed? What would it be like if men had the social roles that women had and vice versa?

To those asking that very question I have to myself for years, this manga may just be for you.

How it came to be:

Following his thrid ever release, this was Amahara first ever doujinshi with 6 chapters instead of the single ones'. Before he become known for Interspecies Reviewers or The Idaten Deities Know Only Peace, this was his first real dive into exploring ecchi concepts. Simply, the doujinshi was about a guy placed in a world of reversed roles where he started requesting money for sex. In our world, this would never fly, this world has the girls taking the nervous virgin role with a different girl each chapter. It was interesting to say the least, but nothing really mind blowing honestly. The art is well done enough, but very forgetten in the better artwork, doujinshi have.

This would have been long forgotten in my mind if not for the manga adaption, Mantarou, made themselves.

Surprisingly, well made world building

In Mantarou's adaptation, we start off with a girl as the protagonist, and later on they adapted the hentai stuff (just not showing it, of course), and we not only get more world building, but some of the most funny, and kind of relatable, panels ever

I say relatable because guys would use the snow for making penises, and even GIntama reflects that. This manga becomes dive to showcase the truth behind our sexual urges in daily life. It also shows how kind of messed up this stuff is in reality. How could we let kids make this kind of stuff, but it would be weird for them to make it of the opposite gender? How is it, guys could make dirty jokes about their privates, but for girls to make jokes about guys' privates be odd depending on who hears it? This manga makes you think about this stuff while you laugh at the bizarreness of stuff like this, and question it.

Another example is how the economy affects this side of humanity. In this world, women's underwear is the stuff that are found in packets while men's underwear take up most of the stores.

I then start thinking why this is the case for women's underwear to be in so much variety? It is odd that we put so much focus on them when they're simply just protection of our must sensitive organs, on the outside at least. We shouldn't really get aroused or put thought into those things, but yet, both worlds do.

Then we have the concept of showing ourselves bare

This is my favorite chapter in this manga because it not only has the most thought provoking questions, but the bizarreness of it is kicked up to the max.You start to wonder why it's okay for guys to take off their shirts, and not girls when we both have nipples, just more fat to women's breast area. Even the manga itself says, it really shouldn't be a problem if you're not thought of as a prevent or strange.

But to all these questions, a simple, but common answer pops to all our heads: Sexual Urges

As long as one gender has the most of that urge, stuff like this begins where it's only natural this stuff exists. Unless we're bought up in world where we can openly talk about it, not put such societal rules or pressure, and not shame others or ourselves, their world and ours will always be filled with this stuff. And behind all the funny jokes, and how bizzare things have reversed, that's this manga's core message

Closing statements

Even beyond all that, humans are still the same no matter what. Even if roles are reversed, things like that will always be the same, and that's why this manga isn't really all that deep or worrying. I think it's true purpose is about showing off to both genders that we all have struggles despite having the same urge. And, as long as we can understand that one another, we could solve the simple and hilarious problem of our porn not matching our taste or more fashionable underwear. This manga ain't the best in the world, but I think it's worth reading just for the fun of it. Maybe you'll even learn something more about yourself or better accept others.

Have a good day and keep trying to enjoy life
