Gin Tama Vol. 50 — Manga Raw / Buy Official

The gender swap is blamed on a mysterious flash, per Sorachi-sensei, but the real core of the uproar is Kyubei's earnest question of how to live. Having grown up dressed as a man, Kyubei re-examines her sense of self while caught between a female and a male body, hiding a genuine coming-of-age story beneath the nonsense. While Gin and company push the body-swap gags to the absolute limit, the volume manages to depict a life unbound by gender under the guise of comedy. It lands as a boldly experimental chapter, fitting for the 50th-volume milestone.
