so its pretty much Trap: the game?
it's not even trap
its this really specific but somehow really popular anime plot where precisely 4 things happen
1: the protagonist (who is boring and uninteresting, especially compared to his companions who even then only have exactly one interesting trait) is turned into a girl by a person who will eventually be a companion and is almost certainly also a girl
2: the protagonist, now a girl, will attract all the girls he previously couldn't attract as a guy despite the girls
all being straight (except one is always
not straight, but makes an exception for the protagonist)
3: the protagonist + the girls that (s)he has attracted go on stupid ecchi bullstuff adventures where a very poorly-thought-out plot occurs in the background that the manga attempts to distract you from by 'hilarious' girl adventures (which mostly just sum up to softcore research)
4: the protagonist catches up to the person who turned them into a girl, fights them, causes them to become their friend (and most likely
also fall in love with them), but due to more plot bullstuff
still not actually turn back into a guy, but retain both the harem and his position as the center of attention. if he does turn back into a guy (which is rare, because that causes every guy- typically ages 10 to 15- in the audience who had a boner for the protagette would suddenly question their loveuality) then it will be very bittersweet and the story will imply that he would have been better as a girl
its a big dumb clusterforget with terrible implications that somehow manages to be in the top 3 most popular plots alongside 'guy moves to a school with only girls, and then causes a harem' and 'guy meets a girl, girl turns out to be _____ fighting _____, gets dragged along for the ride'
