SUMMER! SEA! YOUTH! PART 1

CHAPTER 29 OF THE MANGA

## Previously

Male Minami is staring, like all the other boys, at the school girls wearing their tank style swimsuits during PE swim class. But he is looking for a different reason; he, as female Karii Maki, *wants to wear* a girl's swimsuit for the first time ! Sure enough, Karii and personal friend Karin go shopping for new swimsuits that very afternoon. Originally, Karii wanted a one-piece tank style swimsuit, like the ones the girls wear at school. However, Karin and herself end up with bikini swimsuits, a first for the both of them. Fun in the Sun, here we come !!!

## Chapter Overview

As soon as the three friends hit the beach, Karii strips down to her French cut bikini, and bolts into the water. She forgets one little detail---*she can't swim !* It's Karin to the rescue ! Karii tries again, this time with a flotation device. Later, when she comes out of the water, two handsome male beach dudes 'hit upon her'. She is flattered and annoyed at the same time. Soon, Karii spots an acquaintance also on the beach---Kaitani, the ordinary 'girl' mode of the Maniacal 'Girl' Lord Kaiserk. Kaitani, herself wearing a super cute little girl's style one-piece swimsuit ( probably also for the first time ), is somewhat backward socially speaking. Nevertheless, 'she' is invited by Karii to spend time with herself and the other two friends having fun on the beach.

## This Chapter's Story

Karii just can't help herself. Running towards the shore line, she shouts out for all she's worth---**"BLUE SKY! WHITE CLOUDS! SHINING SUN! IT'S THE PERFECT TIME FOR A SWIM !!!!"**

Karin and Chiyoko are right behind her, too ! Karii stops to pull off her shirt. Karin is shocked and mortified. However, Karii already has her bikini swimsuit on under her shirt and capri pants. She did that since she feels, it is not like she can go into the women's locker room and change. Karin thinks to herself how considerate Karii must be. Chiyoko tells Karii that Karin and herself are going to the locker room to change. When they return, both girls are, indeed, wearing bikinis. Karin has on the ruffled little girl one that she bought with Karii, and Chiyoko has a plain but pure white bikini. Karii stares at her noticeably developed figure, and the fact that she 'jiggles' when walking, but Chiyoko simply tells her that action makes her embarrassed. Karii understands and apologizes.

Karin begins pumping up a beach toy, an Okra whale. She says that fun is the name of the game. Karii gets the message, and bolts for the water. Karin screams after her, but to no avail. Karii plunges into the water, runs forward with all her might until she can't touch the bottom.

" Houston, we have a problem . . . . . . " *Karii can't swim !*

A while later, both Karii and Karin are laying on the beach, out of breath and completely exhausted ! Karin is heartily thanked for saving Karii's life. Chiyoko comes over and wants to know what happened ? Karin, trying not to gag, only comments that Karii was no good at swimming, not since childhood, not now, not ever !

Karii finally is able to speak, and she wants to know why, if she is in enhanced strength mode, why can't she swim ??? Chiyoko says that it is obvious. Maho Shoujo girls may have outstanding physical ability, but if they don't have correct form, all is for naught. Karii is disappointed for a few seconds, then a revelation hits her like a ton of bricks. Karii is a girl now! And girls who are not able to swim, must, by all accounts, have a MOE factor that is 'through the roof'! Let's just keep it that way ! Karin is impressed at Karii's positive attitude about her weakness. Karii now grabs Okra for a leisurely swim. Karin scolds her that she should have done that from the beginning ! As Karii once again runs toward the water, this time with the water toy held above her head, Chiyoko comments, " So innocent! " Karin counters with, " *Too innocent* ! "

After quite some time has passed, with much 'fun in the sun', Karii emerges from the water, carrying Okra. However, she does not go unnoticed. Two tanned beach dudes, handsome young males, gossip about the bikini-clad girl who has just come within their sights. One boy says that she (Karii) is *so cute,* and why not chat with her ? The other boy says that she must be 'way out of our league', and will be too much of a challenge.

    The first boy admonishes that they should not give up before even hitting the starting line. " **Fu Fu Fu**(#)! Turns out *I'm really cute!* " , Karii whispers to herself with a smirk on her face, as she slips away from the two dudes. Paradoxically, she secretly tells herself that she is not happy about guys approaching her and hitting on her. Her eyes then drift to the beach store. There, standing in front of the store entrance is a lone teenage 'girl', with beautiful golden blonde hair in corkscrew twin tails, wearing a little girl's one-piece tank style swimsuit . . . . . . . " Isn't that . . . . . . . .??? **(\*)** "

" Yoo-hoo ! " , Karii shouts at 'her' from standing just behind 'her'. This 'knocks the living daylights' out of 'her', and scares the 'girl' something fierce. The 'girl' twirls around and stares at Karii with a sour look on 'her' face. Finally, 'she' spits out, " OH! It's only *you* !" Karii returns the frown with a pleasant comment, " What a coincidence for you to be here ! "

     Curiosity gets the better of Karii as she asks what the 'girl' was doing looking all around the beach and staring at the people ? " NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS ! ", the 'girl' belts out. But then 'she' thinks to 'herself' that hell will freeze over before 'she' will admit that 'she' is training 'herself' to cross-dress as a cute teenage girl without their mind going bananas, this *by looking at other girls wearing swimsuits.* Karii asks 'her' if they came alone ? " What if I did ? ", is shot back at Karii. Karii responds that it is nothing. However, Karii continues by mentioning that since we met here by chance, do you want to spend time with us and have some fun ?

## Chapter Lookback and Commentary

**(\*) The lone teenager dressed in a little girl's tank swimsuit**

Karii and the other girls of the club, Karin and Chiyoko, know that the teenage 'girl' Kaitani, is probably Akria Asaba masquerading as such a 'girl'. However, Kaitani, as well as Akria suspect, but do not know for sure that the girls 'she' knows socially as typical teenage school girls, namely Karii, Karin, and Chiyoko, are actually the girls of the Maho Shoujo club, in their untranstioned state.

**(#) Fu Fu Fu**

 A Japanese term for (often dark-minded) laughter. It is often used in manga or manga-styled scenes in anime when someone is deviously plotting something. It is mostly humorous.

 Example--- "And then, I'll let the air out of one of the tires on his car! Fufufu..."

Synonyms:

Alternate Japanese: kukuku

English/French: hahaha

Spanish: jajaja

Korean: kekeke

Chinese: hehehe

German: hihihi

" Double Your Pleasure, Double Your Fun "

A past advertising slogan for Doublemint Chewing Gum. Could also apply to this situation with the beach boys.

The beach boys now see two ( count 'em---two! ) cute teenage girls having fun on the beach. However, they are still apprehensive about approaching them to 'hit them up for a date'. If they only knew; one is a male-to-female transgender teen (wearing the bikini), and the other is a crossdressing male (wearing the one-piece tank style swimsuit, hair in twin tails ! )! Thus the two dudes potentially would be in a position to have a positive social experience with trans-girls, and see how fun they can be !

Manga Fan's Commentary
Midnight Tea / 1 year ago
It really is a cute chapter. I like to imagine Akira's expression upon first touching [or trying it on?] that swimsuit, let alone taking his cuter form [Kaitani] to wear it.

Hell, I'd read a whole spinoff series told from his perspective alone.

Also want to point out it's really nice Karin only got jealous for, like, one panel. Whereas in earlier chapters [she'd] be like, pouting over the course of several pages if not the whole chapter. [It's Karin's Tsundere Personality.] It's not just Minami who is developing as a character.

Anyways, this chapter is super cute and I was very much looking forward to it.

TBH, The transformation is fully complete, and Minami is clearly enjoying being a girl !

Misticsan / 1 year ago
As always, I'm surprised by our protagonist's thoughtfulness and thoughtlessness.

Thoughtful, because [s]he thought of the issue of the women's locker room (I myself didn't realize there was a problem with that until it was mentioned). Thoughtless, because if you don't know how to swim, don't run into the sea like a kamikaze! Who cares if it's MOE or not, take some swimming lessons ?

Monsieur / 1 year ago
Girl on the outside, guy on the inside and still remembers who [s]he is (even if I've momentarily forgotten). Very nice to see.

Askun / 1 year ago
If I didn't know the fact she [Minami to Maho Curry] is trans girl... I will [have to] believe this as [a] normal Mahou Shojou manga.

Vainfire / 1 year ago
It's entirely possible that Minami is genderfluid. And of course the premise of the [manga] comic is unrealistic, but that doesn't mean parts of it can't apply to real life.

GuriMe / 1 year ago
[Score---]10/10 for the latest chapter, as always
