Why Have One if You Can Have Two?


Today, I'm pleased to announce the release of a brand new series titled I Can't Tell Which Twin is Which Sex (original title: Futago no Danjo ga Wakaranai, 双子の男女がわからない) by Hanajiro Abe. The series originally began as a short web comic Abe released starting in 2019, and then he readapted the web comic into a oneshot released here with a slightly different story last September in Kodansha's Shounen Magazine Edge. And now as of last month, the oneshot got a serialization, effectively turning the oneshot into chapter 1 of the new series, so chapter 2 was published last month in Magazine Edge. In addition to the series, I'll also be doing the few web comic chapters in the meantime, starting with chapter 0 in this release.

The story between the two versions has a few differences. For one, the twins are cousins to the main character in the web comic, whereas they are unrelated in the series. Second, there is a slight age gap between the twins and the main character in the web comic, with them being 14 and the main character being 18, whereas in the series they are all the same age, 17. The main character also has a radically different character design between the two versions. Other than that, the same basic premise is the same, although romance is now the main theme in the series, whereas that wasn't part of the web comic's original premise.

In the web comic, the unnamed main character comes to live with his aunt and twin cousins while he tries looking for work. Although he remembers that they were twin brother and sister, he is surprised too find that they both appear to be girls when he meets them again after several years, so now he can't tell which is a guy and which is a girl.

In the serialization, Takushi Hatsujou had played with a twin brother and sister when they were all kids, and he fell in love with the sister, culminating in his asking for her hand in marriage when they grew up, to which she agreed. However, they were torn apart for 10 years until Takushi is finally able to get his grandfather's permission to marry her. When they finally reunite, he is surprised to find they both look like girls. Although he knows one of them is cross-dressing, he can't tell which is a guy and which is a girl.

So if you think it sounds interesting, please check out chapter 1 of the series, and also chapter 0 of the web comic.

  2. Thanks for picking this up! Looks really nice!

    The serialization also looks considerably better than the Webcomic, so I'm pretty happy that you waited until then to pick this up! ^^)/

    Keep up the great work~
