Honoo no Mirage (Mirage of Blaze) is a complexly-plotted novel which incorporates a large number of elements, including romantic melodrama, historical politics and supernatural fantasy. Japanese history predominates the heavily structured story-line, which mainly involves the continued aggression between power-wielding guardians ('possessors'), and the denizens of a 'feudal underworld'- a group of restless souls belonging to long-dead samurai from the warring states period who are attempting to re-ignite those age-old wars in present-day Japan.... more>>

Inari Hinata was an ordinary high-school boy. He was visiting his father’s family during the summer holidays where, by chance, he met the fox spirit, Kon.... more>>

Kon was looking for someone to fight against the Impurity, which arises from people’s negative emotions, and Hinata was one of the few people who could fight against it. He wanted to help Kon, but to fight against the Impurity, he needed to become a fox miko.

A priestess… Yes, he had to become a woman.

It would have normally been an impossible proposition. However, Hinata has always had a wish he wanted to fulfill, and the proposal to become a woman was a godsend to reach that wish, so he readily agreed. Hinata’s wish was to be with his childhood friend and best friend, Ooyama Magami, for the rest of his life.

Even though two men couldn’t be together, it wouldn’t be if he became a woman. With this thought in mind, Hinata makes an unimaginable summer holiday debut as a gender bender.

Spending summer holidays as fox miko, she fought the Impurity daily as the Fox. Always by her side in battle was the Wolf, a wolf miko. Although she didn’t talk much, she had built up trust with her during their battles.

Despite all these new encounters, the summer holidays eventually ended, and Hinata had to return to school. When she arrived at her classroom, nervous about her incredible summer holiday debut, she found an unfamiliar tall and beautiful woman there.

She was Magami, who had made her debut during the same time.

Just as she was about to ask her what was going on, the Impurity appeared and Hinata headed off to battle. As usual, she cleansed the Impurity with the Wolf, who also rushed to the scene. However, the Wolf, who usually left without saying anything, suddenly asked her out of nowhere.

“You are… Hinata, aren’t you?”

Yes… The Wolf’s true identity was Magami, who had become a woman for the same reason as Hinata. Thus, the two were reborn as women after their mutual goals clashed.

This is a romantic comedy disguised as a transformation heroine story, in which two beautiful girls who used to be men enjoy flirting with each other. <<less

Sword Xia of the Shu Mountains《蜀山劍俠傳》by Huanzhu Louzhu 還珠樓主 (lit. Master of Returning Pearl Loft) was published between 1932 and 1948 and is one of the most influential wuxia novels of all time. Many of the elements in this novel became standard tropes of the wuxia genre. It is also the forefather of the modern xianxia cultivation novel. Huanzhu’s cultivation system became the standard, fusing the Daoist quest for transcendence with the Buddhist reincarnation cycle and tribulation system, as well as the Confucian virtue of humaneness 仁 and the chivalrous xia 俠 archetype. At over 4.1 million Chinese characters, it is also one of the longest wuxia novels, though it remains unfinished due to the... more>> civil war in China. So the first cultivation novel was also eunuched—rather fitting.

The story follows multiple protagonists as they gradually gather together, fighting heretical sects and spirit elementals on their way to founding the Mount Emei Sect. Most outstanding among these protagonists is Li Yingqiong, who begins the novel as a girl with no martial arts abilities, and through the course of the novel cultivates to become a transcendent (aka immortal).

In this novel, plants, animals, and monsters can all become human and cultivate to transcendence, or lose their primordial spirit (aka nascent soul) and have to start all over, or be obliterated completely after failing their tribulation. Grotto-heavens and magic treasures abound, and we see the beginning of sects as major organizations in wuxia novels with important roles in the plot, such as Emei, Qingcheng, Mount Hua, Wudang, Mount Huang, Snowy Mountain, Kongtong, Kunlun, and Wutai, as well as the emergence of what would later become the archetypal eccentric beggar character. There are miraculous drugs, sword kinesis, and battles between mythical beasts, and heretic cultivators trying to cheat their way to a faster transcendence. In short, pretty much all of the elements one normally sees in the typical xianxia cultivation webnovel. <<less
