【Transformation × Hero......?】 I gained the power to transform into a hero! But...... I turn into a magical girl!? I, Superhero and Magical Girl!

Combining “transformation heroes” and “magical girls”—two seemingly separate genres—with clever comedy and heartfelt drama, *I, Superhero and Magical Girl* is a webcomic by Sogou that captivates readers with its unpredictable twists and charming characters.

The story's protagonist, Hayato, is a righteous and straightforward high schooler. Since childhood, he's dreamed of becoming a hero of justice. One day, he finally gains the power of a *hero*! But his joy is short-lived—as soon as he transforms, he finds himself in the frilly, sparkling attire of a magical girl! In shock and disbelief, Hayato cries, “I'm not a magical girl—I'm a hero!” Yet, he rushes into battle against a monster. This hilarious premise instantly grabs readers’ attention and delivers laughs from the start.

Hayato’s transformed appearance is that of a cute magical girl. But inside, he remains a proud and justice-driven boy—and this contrast is the core charm of the story. Every time he fights in his pink outfit, Hayato struggles with embarrassment and inner conflict, yet bravely confronts evil. It’s absolutely endearing. Readers find themselves torn between wanting him to stay a magical girl and wanting to protect his male pride—it’s impossible not to grin. This delicate balance is what makes the series so addictive.

Not just the protagonist—the monsters he faces are also a big part of the story’s charm. Typically fearsome, the monsters in this series are oddly goofy and hard to hate. While the action scenes are well-executed, the frequent comedic moments lighten the mood perfectly, making for a pleasant read. Some jokes may feel offbeat or hard to grasp, but even that adds to the quirky, relaxed tone of the series.

Even before transforming, Hayato is a serious and sincere character—the perfect target for gentle teasing. That’s why readers can’t help but smile at his continued resistance to being a magical girl. Despite hating his girlish appearance, he continues to fight for justice—making him all the more lovable and easy to root for. This clever “boy becomes magical girl” setup naturally elevates the series' cuteness factor.

The art is clean and consistent, with lively character expressions and dynamic action. The fresh premise, snappy humor, and strong character personalities all come together to deliver a highly satisfying read that’ll leave you glad you picked it up. This story offers unexpected laughter and healing for tired hearts—truly a refreshing escape for the busy modern reader.

*I, Superhero and Magical Girl* is a miraculous blend of “transformation hero × magical girl × gag comedy” like no other. It effortlessly crosses boundaries of gender and genre, pulling readers into a unique world they’ll find hard to leave. For those weary of daily life, this is a book you should definitely pick up.
