** Hitomi also received a wish from the same mage to turn her into a MagicalGirl.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/asuka_hybrid.png]]
''Asuka Hybrid (アスカはいぶりっど)'' is an {{Ecchi}} GenderBender comedy manga by Ken+, first released in 2009.
Asuka is a young boy moving into a dormitory at the heart of a city, but there's a problem: due to someone having mistaken his gender, he ends up assigned to a women's dorm. Shortly afterwards, he ends up suddenly meeting an oddly-dressed woman on the run who offers to grant him one wish, and upon listening to his plight hastily offers him a solution: [[GenderBender turning him into a girl]].
With the woman running off before he could realize what happened, Asuka now seeks to relocate her so he can be turned back into a man. All the while, he must now adjust to the life of an everyday girl, along with the help of his new roommate Yayoi and the new friends he meets along the way. Gender-blending wackiness and lots of {{Fanservice}} ensue.
----
!!This manga provides examples of:
* AmbiguousGenderIdentity: Yayoi's gender identity is rather unclear; while biologically male, they don't come across as offended when Asuka sees their naked body, but they also [[WholesomeCrossdresser otherwise passes off as a girl]] and is recognized as such at school, with nobody else aware of their secret. Yayoi hasn't felt the need to correct Asuka or others of their gender (only their romantic disinterest in girls), but they broadly want to be seen as female nonetheless, hoping that Asuka will still see them as such if he turns back into a man. This in turn also leads to some PronounTrouble -- Asuka mentally thinks of Yayoi as "he/him", but while others know Yayoi as a girl, "she/her" seems to evade conversations.
* BarbieDollAnatomy: As part of the series' {{Ecchi}} style, there's plenty of nudity, but bare breasts and crotches detail nothing.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Yayoi immediately takes a liking to Asuka and effectively tries to call dibs on him once they figure out how to turn him back into a boy. Yayoi's rather bothered when they see Asuka getting friendly with other girls, though whether they choose to intervene or let them be depends on their own mood at any given time.
* ClingyMacGuffin: After Asuka is turned into a woman, the mage leaves him with a black choker as a mark of a fulfilled wish, and he quickly finds it can't be taken off. [[spoiler:Akira is later shown wearing a similar black bracelet, indicating that he too was subject to one of her spells]].
* DifferentForGirls: Naturally, as Asuka's been [[GenderBender suddenly thrust into the life of a schoolgirl]], he's forced to learn a lot on how to handle his new self. Ironically enough, he's generally so well-behaved and modest that Shinobu assumes he originally came from some kind of prim and proper young women's academy, and Akira assumes his personality was also changed from the gender-bending (in reality, [[InTouchWithHisFeminineSide Asuka was always just like that]]).
* DistractedByMyOwnSexy: After turning into a girl, Asuka has a bad habit of getting captivated by the cuteness of his own body, and finds himself having to snap himself out of it and remind himself that he still wants to be a guy again.
* DraggedIntoDrag: Yayoi is a little ''too'' insistent on putting Asuka in [[ElegantGothicLolita a frilly gothic lolita dress]], ostensibly as a means to help him stay at the girl's dorm, but very transparently for their own perverted desires. By the time Asuka does suddenly turn into a girl, he ends up wearing a schoolgirl uniform out of necessity, though whether that counts as crossdressing is a little iffy.
* DudeLooksLikeALady:
** Asuka himself started off as [[{{Bishounen}} a very androgynous and pretty boy]], with Yayoi insisting that he could already pass as a girl [[DraggedIntoDrag if he cooperated with crossdressing]]. The only major differences from his male and female appearances aside from his intimate anatomy are being a head-length shorter and a marginally slimmer face.
** Yayoi is biologically male, but passes off as a girl so flawlessly that nobody seems to think of them as anything but one, even Asuka himself at first. Even when Asuka catches Yayoi asleep in just their underwear, he's still in disbelief that they aren't female, which causes some confusion for Asuka as he struggles to determine whether he's attracted to him because Yayoi looks like a woman, [[TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody or because Asuka himself is becoming more of a woman.]]
* FanserviceWithASmile: The cafe Kasumi (and Asuka, briefly) works at provide very short and revealing [[{{Meido}} maid outfits]] as the waitressing uniforms. Asuka himself ruminates on how they make someone [[BuxomIsBetter as developed]] as Kasumi look like a bombshell, while for someone as small as him, it makes him look "almost criminally ecchi".
* GenderBender:
** The whole plot is started when Asuka gets the UnwantedAssistance from a witch to fit into the girl's dorm he was accidentally assigned to, which she gives by turning him into a girl. The rest of the series is built around finding a way to turn back.
** In chapter 12, it's revealed that [[spoiler:Akira]] also used to be a woman, transformed by the same witch after his own encounter with her. Unlike Asuka, [[spoiler:he has no qualms with staying a guy -- his hangup is that he was made into a {{Bishounen}}, far less muscular and badass as he'd hoped.]]
* GenderBenderAngst: Asuka [[ZigZaggingTrope flips around with this]]; he does revel in several cute and superficially girly things he's allowed to be, but he also ''really'' didn't ask to be gender-bent in the first place and would like to go back to being a guy. He also expresses concern that in his enjoyment of being a girl, [[TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody he might end up completely losing the desire to return to normal over time.]]
* GenderBenderFriendship: Asuka strikes up one of these with Shinobu, a classmate from a previous school that he was aware of, but didn't talk to much. Shinobu ''almost'' recognizes him, but [[CrotchGrabSexCheck a haphazard groping of Asuka's breast]] convinces her that she was mistaken, allowing them to get acquainted as dorm mates.
* GenderBlenderName: {{Lampshaded|Trope}} by Asuka in the first chapter, as his gender-neutral name (and looks) are possibly the reason why he was accidentally placed in a girl's dorm.
* InTouchWithHisFeminineSide: [[UnmanlySecret While he tries to convince himself otherwise]], it's clear that Asuka's appreciation with girly clothes is something that was developed ''way'' before he became a girl who could inconspicuously wear them.
* IntimateMarks: The nameless mage possesses strange symbols just above her crotch, which Asuka is subjected to an uncomfortable view of [[GenderBender as she grants him the wish that turns him into a woman]]. Asuka ends up remembering this, and it ends up becoming the first lead in trying to track her down.
-->'''Yayoi''': ''(unamused)'' [[LampshadeHanging Why do you remember a spot like that so clearly?]]\\

* LivingCrashpad: Asuka's encounter with the mage woman involves him casually resting at a park bench only for her to crash onto him out of nowhere. Her "granting" Asuka's wish is done as a quick apology for the harm done.
* ManIFeelLikeAWoman: Asuka doesn't immediately go for it as he gets transformed in a public park, but once he returns to his dorm and has a moment to settle in, he starts getting personally acquainted with his new body, at least until a new sensation makes him realize he doesn't know how to handle it [[PottyEmergency when it comes to the need to go.]]
* TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody: {{Discussed|Trope}}; Asuka is frequently concerned by [[SecondLawOfGenderBending his own enjoyment of becoming a girl and the habits he's picked up on]], with a fear that even if he manages to become male again, deep down, it might be too late.

* PottyEmergency: Asuka's first tribulation upon becoming a girl is realizing he doesn't know how to hold it in, not helped by Yayoi occupying the only bathroom for a shower.

* UnsettlingGenderReveal: {{Downplayed|Trope}}; when Asuka discovers [[FirstEpisodeTwist in the first and second chapter]] that Yayoi -- who otherwise appeared as a normal girl who admitted a crush on him -- is actually a boy, he's more confused by the fact that it's ''not'' the result of the mage changing their gender, and that [[AmbiguousGenderIdentity they're otherwise just a male passing off as a girl for rather unclear personal reasons]].

''Asuka Hybrid (アスカはいぶりっど)'' is an {{Ecchi}} GenderBender comedy manga by Ken+, first released in 2009.
Asuka is a young boy moving into a dormitory at the heart of a city, but there's a problem: due to someone having mistaken his gender, he ends up assigned to a women's dorm. Shortly afterwards, he ends up suddenly meeting an oddly-dressed woman on the run who offers to grant him one wish, and upon listening to his plight hastily offers him a solution: [[GenderBender turning him into a girl]].
With the woman running off before he could realize what happened, Asuka now seeks to relocate her so he can be turned back into a man. All the while, he must now adjust to the life of an everyday girl, along with the help of his new roommate Yayoi and the new friends he meets along the way. Gender-blending wackiness and lots of {{Fanservice}} ensue.
----
!!This manga provides examples of:
* AmbiguousGenderIdentity: Yayoi's gender identity is rather unclear; while biologically male, they don't come across as offended when Asuka sees their naked body, but they also [[WholesomeCrossdresser otherwise passes off as a girl]] and is recognized as such at school, with nobody else aware of their secret. Yayoi hasn't felt the need to correct Asuka or others of their gender (only their romantic disinterest in girls), but they broadly want to be seen as female nonetheless, hoping that Asuka will still see them as such if he turns back into a man. This in turn also leads to some PronounTrouble -- Asuka mentally thinks of Yayoi as "he/him", but while others know Yayoi as a girl, "she/her" seems to evade conversations.
* BarbieDollAnatomy: As part of the series' {{Ecchi}} style, there's plenty of nudity, but bare breasts and crotches detail nothing.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Yayoi immediately takes a liking to Asuka and effectively tries to call dibs on him once they figure out how to turn him back into a boy. Yayoi's rather bothered when they see Asuka getting friendly with other girls, though whether they choose to intervene or let them be depends on their own mood at any given time.
* ClingyMacGuffin: After Asuka is turned into a woman, the mage leaves him with a black choker as a mark of a fulfilled wish, and he quickly finds it can't be taken off. [[spoiler:Akira is later shown wearing a similar black bracelet, indicating that he too was subject to one of her spells]].
* DifferentForGirls: Naturally, as Asuka's been [[GenderBender suddenly thrust into the life of a schoolgirl]], he's forced to learn a lot on how to handle his new self. Ironically enough, he's generally so well-behaved and modest that Shinobu assumes he originally came from some kind of prim and proper young women's academy, and Akira assumes his personality was also changed from the gender-bending (in reality, [[InTouchWithHisFeminineSide Asuka was always just like that]]).
* DistractedByMyOwnSexy: After turning into a girl, Asuka has a bad habit of getting captivated by the cuteness of his own body, and finds himself having to snap himself out of it and remind himself that he still wants to be a guy again.
* DraggedIntoDrag: Yayoi is a little ''too'' insistent on putting Asuka in [[ElegantGothicLolita a frilly gothic lolita dress]], ostensibly as a means to help him stay at the girl's dorm, but very transparently for their own perverted desires. By the time Asuka does suddenly turn into a girl, he ends up wearing a schoolgirl uniform out of necessity, though whether that counts as crossdressing is a little iffy.
* DudeLooksLikeALady:
** Asuka himself started off as [[{{Bishounen}} a very androgynous and pretty boy]], with Yayoi insisting that he could already pass as a girl [[DraggedIntoDrag if he cooperated with crossdressing]]. The only major differences from his male and female appearances aside from his intimate anatomy are being a head-length shorter and a marginally slimmer face.
** Yayoi is biologically male, but passes off as a girl so flawlessly that nobody seems to think of them as anything but one, even Asuka himself at first. Even when Asuka catches Yayoi asleep in just their underwear, he's still in disbelief that they aren't female, which causes some confusion for Asuka as he struggles to determine whether he's attracted to him because Yayoi looks like a woman, [[TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody or because Asuka himself is becoming more of a woman.]]
* FanserviceWithASmile: The cafe Kasumi (and Asuka, briefly) works at provide very short and revealing [[{{Meido}} maid outfits]] as the waitressing uniforms. Asuka himself ruminates on how they make someone [[BuxomIsBetter as developed]] as Kasumi look like a bombshell, while for someone as small as him, it makes him look "almost criminally ecchi".
* GenderBender:
** The whole plot is started when Asuka gets the UnwantedAssistance from a witch to fit into the girl's dorm he was accidentally assigned to, which she gives by turning him into a girl. The rest of the series is built around finding a way to turn back.
** In chapter 12, it's revealed that [[spoiler:Akira]] also used to be a woman, transformed by the same witch after his own encounter with her. Unlike Asuka, [[spoiler:he has no qualms with staying a guy -- his hangup is that he was made into a {{Bishounen}}, far less muscular and badass as he'd hoped.]]
* GenderBenderAngst: Asuka [[ZigZaggingTrope flips around with this]]; he does revel in several cute and superficially girly things he's allowed to be, but he also ''really'' didn't ask to be gender-bent in the first place and would like to go back to being a guy. He also expresses concern that in his enjoyment of being a girl, [[TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody he might end up completely losing the desire to return to normal over time.]]
* GenderBenderFriendship: Asuka strikes up one of these with Shinobu, a classmate from a previous school that he was aware of, but didn't talk to much. Shinobu ''almost'' recognizes him, but [[CrotchGrabSexCheck a haphazard groping of Asuka's breast]] convinces her that she was mistaken, allowing them to get acquainted as dorm mates.
* GenderBlenderName: {{Lampshaded|Trope}} by Asuka in the first chapter, as his gender-neutral name (and looks) are possibly the reason why he was accidentally placed in a girl's dorm.
* InTouchWithHisFeminineSide: [[UnmanlySecret While he tries to convince himself otherwise]], it's clear that Asuka's appreciation with girly clothes is something that was developed ''way'' before he became a girl who could inconspicuously wear them.
* IntimateMarks: The nameless mage possesses strange symbols just above her crotch, which Asuka is subjected to an uncomfortable view of [[GenderBender as she grants him the wish that turns him into a woman]]. Asuka ends up remembering this, and it ends up becoming the first lead in trying to track her down.
-->'''Yayoi''': ''(unamused)'' [[LampshadeHanging Why do you remember a spot like that so clearly?]]\\
'''Asuka''': Eh?! [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial It was just an accident that I saw it! It's not like was trying to see it on purpose...]]
* LiteralGenie: When the nameless mage offers Asuka a wish, he explains to her that he was mistakenly assigned to a girl's dorm despite being a boy. She provides an immediate solution by [[GenderBender turning him into a girl.]]
* LivingCrashpad: Asuka's encounter with the mage woman involves him casually resting at a park bench only for her to crash onto him out of nowhere. Her "granting" Asuka's wish is done as a quick apology for the harm done.
* ManIFeelLikeAWoman: Asuka doesn't immediately go for it as he gets transformed in a public park, but once he returns to his dorm and has a moment to settle in, he starts getting personally acquainted with his new body, at least until a new sensation makes him realize he doesn't know how to handle it [[PottyEmergency when it comes to the need to go.]]

* OvercomplicatedMenuOrder: When Asuka is first roped into waitressing, he isn't given a full rundown on the complicated cafe orders ([[HashHouseLingo "Sandrip, triple note, make it full moon short"?]]), and while at first Yayoi is able to provide cue cards in the back, they quickly become too big to fit on a page, let alone process. Asuka instead asks the customers to keep it simple as it's his first day, [[StatingTheSimpleSolution and that fortunately clears things up.]]
