Making a list of manga and comics I read in my youth, and I’m trying to remember this manga that had an interesting, if not sort-of complicated premise. I know one of the American manga publishers of the 2000s licensed it.
So, first off, the main protagonist has a dated depiction of gender dysphoria, that being his privates are all weird where he could be mistaken for a girl, despite being mostly biologically male.
Being depicted as a girl is a fear of his, and he’s having trouble graduate high school (I think it’s high school). So he ends up finding this challenge where one must complete trials while acting out as their worst deepest depiction of themselves. In our protag’s case, it’s just him wearing a girls’ school uniform.
In the first volume, he comes across a student who lost her identity, being depicted as her having no face. Her backstory is that she did a lot of deeds and kissed a lot of ass in order to get into a college she wanted, but she got rejected, thus her form in the challenge arena is her having no identity.
Events ensue, and the main protag lets this faceless girl win, but at a cost. See, whenever a student wins a challenge is able to graduate the high school, everyone’s memory of that student disappears.
So the 1st volume ends with this other guy we met before who basically wants to “sissify” the main protag because he wants him to be his girlfriend.
