==Plot==
Oriyama is introduced as the gym teacher at Hinata's school. Due to his appearance, he is often called "Goriyama" by his students. He is disliked by some of the boys for his difference in attitude towards the girls, and it is known that he has feelings for the school nurse, Yumenomori Katsurako, having previously confessed to her but been ignored.
One day, after sending Hinata to the infirmary for a nosebleed, he can no longer hold back. He barges into the infirmary and demands an answer to his confession from Katsurako. Much to his devastation, Katsurako harshly expresses her disgust towards Oriyama, telling him to only return after he is reborn. A distraught Oriyama lunges at Katsurako in tears, only to be thrown aside by Katsurako, unexpectedly crash-landing onto Hinata.
In the process, Oriyama's lips accidentally come in contact with Hinata's, causing the Tensei Virus to infect him. An intense cloud of smoke envelops Oriyama, and as it clears, a woman stands in his place — Oriyama, now with a slender yet muscular figure, has undergone a gender transformation.
Obtaining her dream body, Oriyama resigns from her job and starts living a completely new life. Some time later, she starts an idol career by participating in a contest at the beach, growing increasingly popular over time. She often appears on TV, and even once visits the maid cafe where Hinata works as a special guest. In the final chapter, post the three-year time skip, she is shown taking off to space for a PV shooting, bringing a gorilla along with her.
