Seeing how it requires a visit to the Spring, I wonder if transition is ever a "natural phenomenon" in Daikūriku? It seems that physically and socially the process is a
lot more gentle than in RL, even though the act of choosing still has massive significance.
I wonder, do those who choose female avoid all that bursting into tears at inconvenient moments as their bodies go through Estrogen Hell? Although given the signs of, um, development we see in the older girls, perhaps they've already been through that at puberty...
