Disclaimer: I don't own this manga. NO! I don't own it don't sue me.
My name is Randou Masashi. But everyone calls me Yuna Kurimi. Long story.
You see, two years ago, I was in a terrible bus accident that scorched my face beyond recognition. After a yearlong coma, I woke up to find that a surgeon, Dr. Manabe (for wanabe man) had used a picture of my secret crush, Rina Kurimi, to reconstruct my face. If my having a girl's face (I'm a guy, by the way, if you hadn't figured it out) wasn't bad enough, I also woke up to fine that my family had moved away to restart their lives. I was all alone.
While running around trying to figure out what to do, I ran into Rina (AGH!). She mistook me for her run-away sister, Yuna, and brought me back to her house. At first, I intended to tell her the truth, but not wanting to make her as miserable as she had been without her sister, I decided the best thing would be to pretend to be Yuna, at least until I could find the real one and make things right again.
One year of that. Then, as from nowhere, Yuna came back. At first, she was outraged at what I had done, but, seeing how happy her sister was, she asked me to play her part for another year while she finished beauty school. (AGH! Again.)
And so my second year as the love of my life's older sister begins.
Chapter One: Girly thoughts… arc one begins!
"I've got a problem Doc," said Randou, as he walked into Dr. Manabe's office.
"This is different from usual…why?" Manabe replied.
"Fair enough."
"Alright, what seems to be the problem?"
"I'm starting to think like a girl."
Dr. Manabe sighed. "Well, there's only one thing to do then…"
"What?" asked Randou, hopeful.
Manabe held up a scalpel. "I'll just have to turn you into one…"
Next scene: Manabe is lying in a comical broken heap, cracks line the wall he's just been thrown against, Randou stands over him, comical angry face showing.
"HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY NO?! THAT JOKE IS SO OLD!!"
"Yeah your probably right…"
"Wait…I am?"
"Yeah, I need to come up with a new catchphrase, like… Believe it!"
Randou sweat dropped. "No, that's ok, you can keep asking me to become a girl. Really, I don't mind."
"Right. So, back to the plot. What do you mean, you're thinking like a girl?"
"Well…" Randou began, embarrassed. "I got hit on today… and, well, I didn't beat the guy up like I normally would. Also, I catch myself thinking that It would be great if Yuna never came back and I could stay this way… it's creeping me out."
"Oh dear, I was afraid of that…"
"Of what?"
"You've developed character empathy."
Randou stared ahead, clueless.
Manabe sighed. "It's a psychological complex actors get. Sometimes, when an actor plays a certain character for years and years, they start to become that character, and the old self dies away. In your case, living as another person every hour of every day, the signs show up a lot quicker."
"So you're saying if I don't stop acting like Yuna I wont think like a guy anymore?"
"Pretty much."
There was silence. Randou's mind was awhirl in thought. About three-quarters of him were worried sick about what was happening. And yet, there was that other one-fourth that told him it would be ok if he became Yuna. He shuddered, quickly blocking that part out of his mind. This was bad.
"What should I do?" asked Randou, sounding more helpless than he'd ever allowed him to sound.
"Only one thing to do. You have to stop being Yuna for awhile."
"You know I can't do that. Rina-chan would have to suffer again."
"Then I'd suggest you find something you can do that is absolutely, one-hundred percent masculine before it's too late."
"If beating people up doesn't count… then, what does?"
"I don't know. Do I look like Sigmund Freud or something?"
"I suppose not…" Silence again. "Hey Doc?"
"Yes Randou?"
"Since when have we been able to have a normal conversation?"
"I don't know Randou. But it's creeping me out."
"Me too, I'm leaving now. Bye Dr. Wanabe!"
"HEY! YOU…!" The door slammed shut. Manabe sighed. Randou really would make a good girl… he thought.
BANG!
Great. Now even my thoughts aren't safe.
End of chapter one. Where's the story going? What's the one thing that's so irrevocably masculine that Randou will be saved from himself? Anyone? Anyone? Well, if you don't know, then I'm screwed.
