As the title says I am looking for a male to female gender bender series. I don't mind light 'Shoujo Ai' or a number of female characters involved. However would like to avoid very sexualized series. Absolutely do not want a harem series. Series I'm caught up on/reading related: Even I Have Become a Beautiful Girl, but I Was Just Playing as a Net-game Addiction (please someone pick this up) She professed herself pupil of the wiseman Not Sure, But It Looks Like I Got Reincarnated in Another World The Hero King, Reincarnate to Master the Art of War Hero’s Redo ~ A Hero That Once Saved the World Reborn as a Girl ~ Two as One Princesses Reborn as the Hero’s Daughter (ugh... no pls) The Reincarnated Vampire Wants an Afternoon Nap (wish this one got finished TL) Life with an Ordinary Guy who Reincarnated into a Total Fantasy Knockout There are others and I enjoy most of what's above. I would prefer a series that has MC face the issue of handeling their changes with those around them in their life. And avoid series where MC can swap back and forth.
Youjo Senki Fake Saint of the Year Tho both of the novels don’t actually dive into the issue but they just accept it. Still, highly recommended.

I actually 100% forgot Youjo Senki was a gender bender because of how absolutely deranged MC is. Lol I'll give fake Saint a try Does MC start married in this situation or just ends up that way? That sounds extra confusing if it's not just genderbender but also marriage. Lol
The old body(male) of our mc dies and his soul settles in a different body (female) . This female is in a fake marriage with the ml and the female and ml were not in love, they just had a contract marriage.

Oooh okay the title threw me off and I forgot contract marriages were a thing in some places. Lol Magic smithing is tagged m2f but description shows it was just a reason to write MC as a tomboy and drops it that side of things early.. The second one is about an ant... while it is something like self-discovery... eh? Not what I was looking for but I can give it a try. The last one reboot Reality is upfront its continuous swapping around. Maybe worth a shot but was looking for something more where MC has to confront and accept their changes.
