What is I Think I Turned My Childhood Friend Into a Girl about?

The manga series by Azusa Banjo has been serialised in Ichijinsha’s Comic Pool website since December 2019. Before that, the initial chapter was released in the author’s Twitter account. The series was placed fourth in AnimeJapan’s “Manga We Want to See Animated” poll in 2024. So the dreams of everyone who voted for the series are coming true!

Seven Seas Entertainment publishes the manga’s volumes in English and describes the story:

An LGBT+ romantic comedy in which nobody is quite what they seem, and everyone learns to be who they truly are.

It’s a familiar story: a popular high school student gives their plain friend a makeover and transforms their life. But this time, both the popular student and the plain friend are boys! Mido Kenshiro has loved cosmetics all his life, keeping his obsession a secret. But when his childhood friend Hiura lets Kenshiro practice applying makeup on him, the results are earth-shattering—for both of them.
