Futaba-kun Change Vol. III

Hiroshi Aro’s gender-bending romantic comedy continues in this third volume, published by Studio Ironcat from 1999 onward across six issues. Co-written with Sachiko Uchida and illustrated by Aro, the series follows the chaotic life of Futaba-kun, whose peculiar family curse triggers a dramatic physical transformation whenever he’s aroused. Aro’s energetic, comedic art and the premise’s playful exploration of identity and relationships made this a distinctive cult favorite in the late-’90s manga-in-translation boom.
