NYOTAI-KA IS A COMEDY ECCHI MANGA ABOUT A GUY
NAMED MAKOTO WHO DECIDED IT WOULD BE AMUSING TO
TROLL AN ONLINE DATING SITE AS A G.I.R.L. . THIS WINDS UP
EPICALLY BACKFIRING WHEN A GODDESS DECIDES TO
INTERVENE AND MAKE HIM AN ACTUAL WOMAN.
HILARITY ENSUES .
A-CUP ANGST : IWANAMI DOESN'T EXACTLY HAVE SMALL
BREASTS, BUT SHE DOES SHOW JEALOUSY MAKOTO AS A
GIRL IS MARKEDLY LARGER THAN HERSELF.
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR: WHY MAKOTO BECAME
A GIRL.
BISHOUNEN: AVERTED BY MAKOTO, WHO LOOKS
UNAMBIGUOUSLY MALE. IWANAMI, ON THE OTHER HAND,
PLAYS THIS STRAIGHT WHEN SHE TURNS INTO A GUY.
KEI LOOKS PRETTY MUCH EXACTLY THE SAME AS MAKOTO
AS A GIRL WHEN HE'S A GUY.
CLINGY JEALOUS GIRL: IWANAMI CAN BE THIS TO SOME
SCARY EXTREMES.
DEMONIC POSSESSION: HOTARUGAWA KEI GETS THIS A
FEW TIMES. MOSTLY FROM NANASHI, BUT OCCASIONALLY
ALSO FROM VARIOUS DEIMU. THE FORMER JUST TURNS HIM
INTO A GIRL, THE LATTER DOES SO AS WELL BUT ALSO ENDS
UP TURNING HIM INTO A MONSTER. POSSIBLY A
TSUCHIGUMO.
DUDE LOOKS LIKE A LADY: NANASHI, MUCH TO KEI'S
SURPRISE.
FAILED A SPOT CHECK: DUE TO THE ART, IT SEEMS
IWANAMI FAILED THIS SOON AFTER MAKOTO CAME TO WORK
AS A GIRL (IN A SUIT WEARING SARASHI WRAPPINGS TO
DISGUISE BEING A GIRL). FROM THE AUDIENCE
PERSPECTIVE, MAKOTO IS CLEARLY SHORTER AS A WOMAN
AND HIS FACE AND HAIR HAVE VISIBLY ALTERED, SO HER
NOT PICKING UP ON HIM BECOMING A GIRL IS ODD.
THIS STARTS HAPPENING TO IWANAMI AFTER SHE HAS HER
EXISTENCE THINNED OUT TO STAY A MAN UNTIL THE POISON
WEARS OFF. SHE STARTS TO WORRY THAT EVENTUALLY
MAKOTO WILL ALSO STOP NOTICING HER.
FOR THE LULZ: MAKOTO'S WHOLE ROLE IN THE PLOT WAS
TRIGGERED BY HIS TENDENCIES FOR THIS. HIS
TRANSFORMATION WAS, IN PART, THE RESULT OF THIS TROPE
BY A GODDESS' TENDENCIES TOWARDS THIS.
HORNY DEVIL : NANASHI AND DEIMU TURN KEI INTO ONE
WHILE POSSESSING HIM.
GENDER BENDER : OF BOTH GUY TURNING INTO GIRL AND GIRL
TURNING INTO GUY TYPES.
BOTH MAKOTO AND LATER IWANAMI TRANSFORM DURING A
MOMENT OF INTENSE SEXUAL DESIRE, WHICH CAUSES
SOME RATHER ODD PROBLEMS, MUCH IN THE VEIN OF THE
MOVIE ZEROPHILIA.
AMUSINGLY ENOUGH, NANASHI DOES THIS TO BOTH KEI
AND HIMSELF WHILE POSSESSING HIM.
FIRST LAW OF GENDER BENDING : MAKOTO EVENTUALLY
BECOMES FIXED AS A WOMAN, MEANING THE WORLD NOW
ACKNOWLEDGES ONLY HIS FEMALE VERSION AS THOUGH IT
HAD ALWAYS BEEN. THE FEW TIMES HE CAN GO BACK TO
BEING A MALE, ASIDE FROM KOJIMA AND IWANAMI NO
ONE CAN RECOGNIZE HIM INCLUDING HIS OWN PARENTS.
OVERALL HE'S QUITE HAPPY THAT WAY. KEI HOWEVER
MANAGES TO GET TO GO BACK TO BEING A MAN
PERMANENTLY ONCE NANASHI MOVES ON TO HANGING OUT
WITH NANDIKESVARA.
SECOND LAW OF GENDER BENDING: BOTH MAKOTO AND
KEI BECOME RATHER ADDICTED TO BEING WOMEN. WHEN
KEI FIRST BRINGS UP BECOMING ADDICTED TO IT, THE COMIC
TEMPORARILY CUTS TO MAKOTO WITH CAPTIONS POINTING
OUT THAT HE'S "A PERSON WHO'S NOT JUST ADDICTED, BUT
DOESN'T EVEN WANT TO GO BACK TO THE OLD BODY."
GOD: IN THIS CASE, AN INDIAN GODDESS KNOWN AS
NANDIKESVARA, GODDESS OF WEALTH AND PROSPERITY,
THE ONE WHO GRANTS WHAT SHE INTERPRETS MAKOTO'S
WISHES TO BE. SHE'S NOT EVIL IN HER INTENTIONS BUT SHE
DOES SEEM TO BE DERIVING SOME ENTERTAINMENT OUT OF
THE GENDER BENDER ANTICS MAKOTO GOES THROUGH, AND
SHE HAS AN ODD WAY OF SEEING HOW THE END RESULT OF
HER POWERS AFFECT US HUMANS.
NANASHI WAS ONE AS WELL. OR HE MAY HAVE BEEN A
YOUKAI. DURING THEIR FIRST MEETING KEI POINTS OUT THAT
POSSESSING SOMEONE IS SOMETHING A DEMON WOULD
DO, NOT A GOD, WHICH PROVES TO BE NANASHI'S BERSERK
BUTTON. HOWEVER, LATER WHEN NANASHI STARTS TO
WORRY ABOUT WHICH IS REALLY TRUE, KEI REMINDS HIM IT
DOESN'T MATTER AS HE SIMPLY IS WHO HE IS.
GREEN-EYED MONSTER : KEI IS THIS TOWARD MAKOTO,
WHICH LEADS TO THE DEIMU TAKING OVER.
IF IT'S YOU, IT'S OKAY: KOJIMA SEEMS TO NOT MIND
BEING WITH MAKOTO, EVEN AS A GIRL. LATER, IWANAMI
STARTS TO FEEL THE SAME WAY ESPECIALLY AFTER SHE
TURNS INTO A GUY.
I KNEW IT: MAKOTO ACCUSES IWANAMI USING THIS TROPE
BY NAME OF BEING A LESBIAN AFTER SHE TAKES A
MARKED (AT THE TIME PLATONIC) INTEREST IN HIM AS A
WOMAN. SHE VEHEMENTLY DENIES IT. CONSIDERING SHE
LATER MAKES OUT WITH HIM AND EVEN HAS SEX WITH
HIM AS A GIRL, THIS IS RATHER IRONIC.
I WANT MY BELOVED TO BE HAPPY: KOJIMA EVENTUALLY
STEPS ASIDE FOR IWANAMI, EVEN HELPING MAKOTO
PATCH UP HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH HER AFTER A NOT WHAT IT
LOOKS LIKE SCENE.
THE LOINS SLEEP TONIGHT : MANAKA TURNS BACK INTO A
MAN WHILE WITH KOJIMA, BUT SUFFERS PERFORMANCE
ANXIETY.
LOVES MY ALTER EGO : KUMADA HAD ONLY SEEN KEI'S
FEMALE FORM ONCE, BUT FELL IN LOVE PRETTY MUCH
IMMEDIATELY. WHEN KEI FINDS OUT ABOUT IT, HE TRIES TO
CONVINCE HIM TO GIVE UP ON THAT GIRL.
MAN, I FEEL LIKE A WOMAN : MANAKA IMMEDIATELY
FEELS HERSELF UP AFTER TRANSFORMING.
MEANINGFUL NAME: NANASHI MEANS NO NAME, AS THE
EX-DEITY HAS LONG SINCE LOST HIS NAME.
MEGANEKKO: IWANAMI.
MOE: MAKOTO AS A GIRL HAS A TALENT FOR EVOKING THIS,
OFTEN INTENTIONALLY, AND THIS IS FREQUENTLY
LAMPSHADED.
OMAKE: RATHER GOOFY 4KOMA PANELS AT THE END OF
EACH CHAPTER FEATURING NANDIKESVARA IN SOME RATHER
AMUSING SCENARIOS. ALSO, SHE IS SHOWN TO LIKE
PLAYING MMORPG'S.
ALSO, RATHER ODDLY FOR OMAKES, THEY DO GET
REFERENCED IN THE MAIN STORY.
OUT OF FOCUS: MAKOTO AND IWANAMI GET MINIMAL TIME
IN THE STORY WHEN IT TEMPORARILY SHIFTS OVER TO KEI'S
STORY.
POWER PERVERSION POTENTIAL : MAKOTO ORIGINALLY
DECIDES TO TAKE HIS TRANSFORMATION IN STRIDE AND
ENJOY IT. THAT IS, UNTIL HE LEARNED THE EXACT REASONS
HE ACQUIRED IT AND THE DOWNSIDES IT WOULD ENTAIL.
LATER IWANAMI STARTS TO ENJOY HER MALE
TRANSFORMATION, ESPECIALLY IN THE BEDROOM, AND
MAKOTO GETS MADE HER ALMOST LITERAL BITCH AT THE
END OF VOLUME 2.
PSYCHO LESBIAN: MILD, PLAYED FOR LAUGHS VERSION IN
YAGAMI, A FRIEND OF IWANAMI WHO IS ALSO A DOCTOR.
SHE LUSTED AFTER IWANAMI SINCE THEIR SCHOOL DAYS
AND WAS SHOT DOWN, BUT THIS APPARENTLY DIDN'T FAZE
HER TOO MUCH, AND SHE IMMEDIATELY GETS A LITTLE CUTE
AND PSYCHO REGARDING MAKOTO AS A GIRL, WHICH
IWANAMI GETS RATHER PISSED OVER.
THE CHEW TOY: AT LEAST PART OF WHAT HAPPENS TO
MAKOTO MAKES HIM ONE OF THESE.
WELCOME TO MY WORLD: PRETTY MUCH THE WHOLE POINT
OF WHAT HAPPENS TO MAKOTO, ALBEIT INDIRECTLY.
WHEN A JERK LOVES A TSUNDERE: MAKOTO AND
IWANAMI ARE AN OUTSTANDING EXAMPLE OF THIS, BUT
UNLIKE MOST EXAMPLES WHERE THE GUY'S FAULTS ARE
BLOWN OUT OF PROPORTION AND THE GIRL IS OVERLY VIOLENT,
MAKOTO REALLY CAN BE A TOTAL MALE PIG AT TIMES AND
IWANAMI IS OFTEN QUITE JUSTIFIED IN HER LEVELS OF ANGER
IN RESPONSE TO HIS ACTIONS.
VIOLENTLY PROTECTIVE GIRLFRIEND : BOTH IWANAMI AND
KOJIMA ARE THIS FOR MAKOTO AS A GIRL. MAKOTO
(FEMALE) IS UNABLE TO BE THIS WAY BECAUSE HE
APPARENTLY IS NOWHERE NEAR AS STRONG AS A GIRL THAN
AS A GUY, THOUGH THE FACT HE HASN'T LEARNED HOW TO
COMPENSATE MOST LIKELY JUSTIFIES THIS.
YAMATO NADESHIKO : REI KOJIMA HAS THE LOOK IN
COMPARISON TO IWANAMI, BUT HER DEMEANOR IS
NOTHING CLOSE TO THIS.
YANDERE: BOTH IWANAMI AND KOJIMA HAVE SHADES OF
THIS FOR MAKOTO.
YOU CAN SEE ME? : WHILE IWANAMI NEVER FINDS OUT
ABOUT IT, JOUNO CAN SEE THAT DESPITE NANDIKESVARA
