About this title

Synopsis

Randou Masashi is a brash karate star who strikes fear in everyone around him. But despite his intimidating presence, he is secretly in love with the sweet and beautiful Rina Kurimi. Unfortunately, Randou is involved in a horrific bus accident, which leaves him comatose and with a disfigured face. A year later, he awakes to discover something utterly shocking—his face now resembles Rina's! Randou learns that he has been under the care of a surgeon named Jun Manabe, who reconstructed Randou's face based on a picture he had of Rina. Moreover, Randou is presumed dead, and his parents have moved away as a result. Distraught, Randou crosses paths with Rina and is mistaken for her twin sister Yuna, who fled from her house two years ago. Although Randou initially wished to restore his face, seeing Rina elated makes him reconsider his decision. However, a boy disguising himself as a girl is as absurd as it sounds, and being surrounded by troublesome individuals only makes it more difficult. Nevertheless, Randou is adamant about concealing his identity until he finds the real Yuna. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Main characters

Randou Masashi40 fan favorites
External profile
The main character, he is a karate expert who is very arrogant due to the fact that not many can defeat him. After a school bus accident, his face is reconstructed to that of Rina Kurimi, a fellow student who he also feels an attraction towards. After waking from his year-long coma, he is mistaken by Rina for her missing twin sister, Yuna. In the end, despite much inner turmoil on what to do, Randou decides to pose as Yuna until he is able to find the real Yuna. At first, he has a lot of trouble acting like a typical female high school student and his personality as Randou comes out often with disastrous results. Even after being in a coma for a year, he is still incredibly strong which usually raises a lot of questions because of his small size. Often, as a running gag, he gets nosebleeds when he gets stimulated. However, as time goes on, he comes to discover a lot of things about being a female. Furthermore, one of his main fears is that he'll become accustomed to being Yuna for good. When it comes to matters involving Rina, he is often very selfless and only thinks about her happiness. Due to his vibrant personality and Rina's cute face, he gets many male suitors in the school (and one female). He tries to cope with it, though he usually goes nuts and beats them up (including the student president and various thugs on the streets). No voice actors have been added to this character.

Rina Kurimi7 fan favorites

She is the girl Randou likes and ironically, she liked him back before the accident, just she never told him. She has a quiet personality and feels responsible for what happened to her real twin sister Yuna after she ran away from home. Rina is a very emotional person and depends a lot on Randou (as Yuna) for support and guidance. She is a very intelligent person and the smartest in her class, though she seems to struggle when it comes to cooking. After Randou came back as Yuna, Rina has become very scared that her sister will end up leaving her again and hangs out with her more often than not because of it.

Jun Manabe4 fan favorites
External profile
The very talented doctor who reconstructed Randou's face using a picture of Rina as a reference that he found on his charred body after the school bus accident. He is excessively perverted and constantly suggests that Randou should get a complete sex reassignment surgery to become more feminine, much to the disgust and wrath of Randou. He helps Randou throughout the story even after the surgery and even seems to serve as his mentor. No voice actors have been added to this character.
