comment
The Day of Revolution is a two-volume manga series by Mikiyo Tsuda about a fairly normal, if scrawny and undersized, high-school boy named Kei Yoshikawa who discovers after a series of fainting spells that he is intersexed and genetically female. (While this could be any one of several real-world conditions, the exact one afflicting Kei is left unspecified.) Faced with the choice (as he sees it) between remaining an "incomplete man" or becoming a "complete woman" Kei elects (albeit reluctantly) to embrace his newly discovered femininity in the hope that a new start as a girl will heal his strained relationship with his cold and distant father.So Kei takes a half-year off school for therapy, training and "adjustments" (i.e., surgeries) to feminize his body before returning to repeat freshman year as a girl, hoping that by wearing her hair long and pronouncing her name 'Megumi' (which can be written using the same kanji as 'Kei') she can somehow avoid recognition by her former classmates. Naturally, things aren't going to be that easy.The manga as a whole is a fairly realistic and non-melodramatic depiction of the difficulties inherent in Kei/Megumi's situation.

"Well Done, Son" Guy - Megumi opts for gender reassignment largely in the hope that she can finally have the sort of healthy relationship with her father that eluded her as a boy.

Unsettling Gender-Reveal - Averted. Megumi actually wanted to ward off on a persistent admirer by revealing she was previously male, but he just wouldn't listen.

Gender Bender
 The Day of Revolution (Manga) / int_2d88e42c
comment
Gender Bender: Although Kei/Megumi is intersex and medically transitions from male to female in a mundane fashion, their experiences is far from typical for real life intersex or transgender people. Thematically, the story has more in common with fantastic gender-bending fiction, but with a mundane justification. Kei/Megumi's transition occurs for reasons totally unrelated to their gender identity, and with a great amount of reluctance, leaving her adjusting to live with a sex and gender she'd never previously identified with.

Intersex Tribulations: Megumi is intersex, but was raised as a boy named "Kei". Upon learning about Megumi's chromosomes, it's decided that she should transition into living as a girl. Megumi originally hates the idea but comes to accept it.

Artistic License – Medicine: Megumi muses that if she hadn't transitioned to being female, she'd being effeminate to the point of lacking facial hair or an Adam's apple. Both of those issue and others would have been solved by simple hormone therapy—and with a lot less trouble than the surgery she did go through.

Second Law of Gender-Bending - Of the "reluctant admission" variety. Megumi concedes "I really am a girl now" near the end of volume one. Volume 2 is more about Jumping the Gender Barrier than Different for Girls.

Easy Sex Change
 The Day of Revolution (Manga) / int_b53ba00f
comment
Easy Sex Change: Zig-zagged; Megumi's gender reassignment is portrayed fairly realistically in a medical sense, taking months, even though an intersexed body like Megumi's probably required fewer 'adjustments' then most. However, their decision to transition is made so rashly and for such dubious reasons (Kei/Megumi had identified as male all their life beforehand, while their parents ignore their child's about-face when told they didn't have to), one questions how an ethical doctor would have ever agreed to it.

Sitting on the Roof: Nakagawa's entire conflict with Megumi's former True Companions is over who — and more importantly, who does not — get to hang out on the school roof. They're willing to share but he isn't, because sole possession of the roof would cement his Big Man on Campus status.
