I Want to Become a Woman! – Mental Health Through Manga

Why not be a lesbian futanari?

Best of both worlds.

Being a woman, I have to disagree with a lot of this.

Personally, I want to become a man.

What an adorable and informative little comic. Thumbs up for that mental health clinic, rather fresh ideas.

As for the issue, I think women have it easier at certain points in life and would indeed like a woman "try-out" for a week/month or so, but in general I like my Y chromosome very much.

Looking long term I'd much prefer being a man. Being able to have a child aside, you'll do much better in life as an older, well educated and financially stable man than an older woman. Which is why it's not that uncommon to see older men with much much younger women, but reverse rarely happens. Might sound sexist but men age "better....until they die earlier cause of the crippled Y chromosome. =(

Men want to be young beautiful women until they start to grow old and saggy and look ugly, THEN they want to become men again.

Men age better, older men are better looking then older women (without makeup).

Oh and Men want to have the experience of being submissive/raped at least once.

Oh god the ED one

External links seem broken for me most of the time, the script adds a ";" at the end which some sites tolerate but most others don't.

An ugly man can become popular by being rich, funny, smart, talented, determined, hard working.

An ugly woman is doomed no matter what she does.

A pretty woman has an expiration date.

Frankly, I'd rather be a man.

I want to become a woman...with a dick.

I can't wait to see more chapters of this. Both that I've seen here so far are definitely both informative AND entertaining.

I don't know about the Japanese but I like being a man and am proud of it.

I don't care about the sexual or social perks that women may get.

I'm satisfied with the relative advantage of control, stability and physical freedom, endurance and power.

So do men want to become women because all men deep down want to be waifus and be able to have a life grow inside of them?

Those mental health mangas make no sense whatsoever.

I rather be loli '-'

oh wait... where is the trap? LOL

Women do NOT have it easier on society. Men like to think so however.

Women make 75 cents on every dollar a man makes. Women are often seen as bitchy if they're assertive, or whores if they're seductive. Women are much more often the target of rape and murder, and if a woman is happy being single and not having a child or husband, something is inherently wrong with her. There will never be a woman president in the US, and we constantly have to live up to the expectation that women have to be hot and skinny to be of worth, and men can look however the fuck they want. We have to deal with the constant danger of a man posing a threat if we turn them down or decide to break up with them, as well. Women can show their emotions, sure, but I don't see how that means that men have it easier. They're more than welcome to do the same, but it's their own personal pride that prevents it. If a woman takes interest in something inharently "manly", like sports or video games, they must be fake or an attention whore.
Men like to whine about "ohhh, she makes me clean up after myself" or "ohhh she can get out of a speeding ticket by batting her eyelashes", but they don't realize that the first part about women being naggy is because the man is usually being a pig in some way or another, and the latter is invalid if you aren't a pretty little thing.
Also, what the fuck has been with all the men making "kitchen" comments towards women? I know it's all in jest and everything, but it can be hurtful to some women. Rape jokes aren't funny, either. |:

For some reason I was expecting to see Baka to Test's Hideyoshi mixed in there somewhere.

If you're a man though you dont get to wear any sexy panties. :(

Who actually has the gall to claim that they know which sex has it easier? If you're male, you only know what it's like to be male and vice versa. I'm sure if we had to live an entire year with a body of the opposite sex, some aspects of that life would catch us completely off guard.

(Transsexuals don't count; you can get a sex change but you will never know what it's like to have a biologically natural body that corresponds to whichever sex you identify as. So you'll never know what it's like to have the "full package". sry2say.)

I'm a woman and I would like to be a man. I simply hate my "femenine" side u.u

The grass is always greener on the other side...

Both sexes have their advantages and disadvantages. Fashion and emotions are still valid arguments, but things are changing slowly but surely for the best in those.

Interesting, amusing, and well-executed: a tripartite of good characteristics. I'd love to see translations for the others on their site - one of them seems to include an elaborate Ace Attorney parody.

I'd rather be a man. You'd get to get with beautiful women instead of men with their ugly ass dicks.

If you're ugly and fat as a man, you'll be just as ugly and fat as a woman(unless you get tons of cosmetic surgery). That's something most guys do not think about.

As derived in Astro Boy.

"I don't desire to be something else. I am made of X gender, so I may as well be the best damn X there ever is."

If you are wondering about why men want to become women, think about this: you go out on a date with a cute girl: who pays?

what I would like to know is the name of the mangaka! He's actually pretty good in terms of balance between script and art. Anyway, thanks for another yuu mental clinic, Artefact

I would rather be a man for the simple reason that society (at least in America where I'm from) is still incredibly sexist and men are more likely to be successful in almost any field. With a few notable exceptions men can choose to pursue a career in almost ANY industry while women are still practically barred from many. Just look at film directing, for example. I could probably count on my fingers the number of successful female film directors in the entire history of film. It's not like women have anything less to offer, just look at Kathryn Bigelow, but they remain an incredibly small majority in a male dominated industry.

what, no lolicon ? :)
"don't let out things which shouldn't be let out" :)
The two are the best doctors I know.

This made me think why school lessons weren't taught with mangas... It'll be entertaining and educational and I wont fall asleep

I think, most men fail to understand that with a man's responsibility comes power. Things might be easier on women, but women will often get the short end of the stick in society.

Then again, a lot of those femanist issues have been dealt with already. However, there are still real life dangers to being a woman. For one, your safety will always (bold italics underlined caps) be in question. So, it really depends on where you live.

how about this one?

please translate this too!

oh well men were always slaves to society and women XD

Its true more advantagous to be a woman, at least that what I think.
sure there advantagous of became a man like more opportunity open in military or other hi risk jobs like deep sea oil exploration.
but same apply to the woman that have job exclusivly for their respective gender

Being a man also hold more advantageus posision in emergency situation, like disaster. or when no toilet man just can pee under a tree with no problem ./lol

but in general public, advantage of being women maybe more significant (other than what have been stated above). I noted few things like
-There are ladies night but no Men Night
-girls get treat, like free drink or special bonuses more often
-special treatment in public service
-Expresion "Ladies First" explain the meaning
-public service prioritise woman over man, like gain more hospitality services
-can raise social status without education or hard work, just by using physical apparance (in other word) seduction. while on man being overshadowed by the wife is embaresing thing
-see a girl cry and man will try to get whatever she want (Flaten your mate wallet realyy fast) - Tears is powerfull weapon that can criple man with ease
-Etc

but also noted, that as age progresing Life as a women became more harder, due to pressing of community.
while a single man in age of 35 can be regarded as mature, economic stabiliity and have good prospec in raising a family
but if women in age of 35 is single, that don't look very good in public eyes

IMO women have more advantage, especialy in youth
but the presure will became more heavy as age progresion, since woman must care and aware for physical aparence and trend.
while man have constant preasure since birth

when there is no one to rely on like in catastropic disaster, being a man is more advantageus. since no one to rely on

but in the normal condition, woman have more advantageus position over man, especialy if she is young and beutiful XP

What are these worthless discussions for?

WHO THE HELL CARES, I bet not even one of you actually will have a sex-change. Seriously, it's all good and well if you're happy with the advantages of being a man when you're a man, and the same applies to women.

If you're so dissatisfied, go and have a sex change.

I want to be Obama

I'd like to be one just for a while to experience how they feel having sex, multiple orgasm!!

I'm thinking of ranma in showering alone maybe if i splash myself with cold water I think i don't think being a girl is a good idea wherein hot water makes you hot that means you don't consider being a girl an option for having fun to yourself

Personally, I see it far more advantageous to be a man than the other way around. While "men" do have more "responsibilities" so to speak, they have just as many "privileges" as well. That said, I also tend not to discriminate in terms of sex.

Hmmm, I'd love to be a cute little girl. I act like a tough, hardened guy, but I really hate that act. I'd like to be like one of those moe blobs from k-on. But that attitude would be gross on a young man as manly as me, and I wouldn't get anywhere in life, so I try not to think much of it and act like I'm expected to.
I know being a man has a lot of advantages though, so I just try to see the good side, because there's no helping it, that's how I was born. Maybe some day they'd invent a magical pill that turns men into cute lolis, that'd be awesome. Meanwhile I'll live that fantasy watching anime and stuff... *sigh*

funny comic, i wouldn't mind being a woman if all you had to do was take a needle and next day u'd wake as one, and then if you wanted you could just turn back.

But if the woman is anything below pretty this argument is invalid.

Sure thing there can't be a woman without the female pelvic bone and structure so be sure to get that transplanted in too, asl well as the uterus and tubes.

This is all well and good, but it's very... generalised. I want to become a woman, but it's not for any of the shallow or stereotypical reasons described here. The feeling runs a lot, lot deeper than that... I'm sure it's true for quite a few other men too.

Japanese men wish to be women just so they can express themselves? How depressing.

I wish I have a girly face ):

Why not have the best of both worlds? Sure, you only get to live one side vicariously, but anyway. Fans of Isaac Asimov will know which song I'm referring to.

I want to be a bra (a DD cup 36)...all the benefits plus no regrets.

Honestly, women do have it easier in society. And I know things like PMS and childbirth seem to be a good argument, coupled with the fact that, appearance wise, much more stress is put on a woman to look her best.

With the PMS issue... it may be physically painful, but it's also an excuse to get away with any kind of attitude. literally. As a male, I have hormonal and "off" days but we don't get any slack during these times and anything we say seems to go wrong. And the "pressure to look your best" is just a shallow sense of fitting in.

I am not saying I would want to "become a woman" but that it shouldn't be a big surprise that the stress put on men causes them to envy the opposite sex.

I believe men want to be superficial women in theory.

No man in their right mind would like to spend upwards of 3-7 days a month menstruating.

On top of that where's the macho factor? I'm very aggressive in martial arts but there's still only so much I can do against well developed man. You're telling me men would give up that defining character trait/ability?

More!! Translate more! I wanna read more Artefact Translate more!! PLEASE!!! I love them!!!! ^_____^

this is fake and gay

I still hope that one clear starry summer night, an alien space ship crashes into the hill I'm sitting on, absent-mindedly looking at stars above; and when they try to restore my body to make up for the damage they caused, they accidentally make the extremely beautiful and cute female version of me...

I like this manga. Pretty entertaining while being educational.
Nurse Asuna is hot.

fairly interesting, although not as good as the former story about lolicon. good shit sankaku.

I want be a woman.
So i can be raped anytime.
