It’s been a couple of years since I messed up on some spells and became stuck in the form of Maki, my friend’s anime “girlfriend,” and got stuck with a little of her personality as well. It was over a bet where the loser got turned into whatever the other guy’s favorite girl was, and in the heat of the moment we went a little too far…

I’m still living with him. I’m not his girlfriend, but we became closer as friends and I depended on him a lot while adjusting to my new life. He’s the only one who knows my secret, and I guess he’s the only person that I still talk to. We sort of have a “friends with benefits” situation going on, where we have casual, non-romantic sex whenever we feel like it. It doesn’t bother me, we already crossed that line long ago, so we might as well enjoy what we can. Not many people get to do it with their dream girl, especially fictional ones—I’m just doing what I would have wanted, so that all of this doesn’t go to waste. Sometimes I even do little things for him like cooking or dressing up in cute outfits. I thought it would be pretty weird and off-putting to have this kind of relationship with a friend, knowing that I used to be a guy, but it became normal very quickly.

I’m never going to fall in love with him, or let that get in the way of our friendship. When we go out, it feels like two friends hanging out and enjoying themselves together, and not like a date at all.

I can’t stand watching the show anymore, the mental changes weren’t too big but I feel like I’m seeing myself on there whenever Maki is on screen. I prefer not to think too hard about how she is in the show, because it reminds me that part of my own mind and personality isn’t the real me. At least in my head, nothing feels conflicted or wrong, I feel normal. When I act like her, I usually never even notice unless he tells me.

The main thing I hate is when he calls me his tsundere girlfriend. It means a girl that acts cold and hostile towards her lover, but gets more affectionate and sometimes nervous around him over time, especially in vulnerable moments. That’s how Maki is in the show, and I know that I act like that sometimes, even though I try really, really hard to stop myself. But I don’t care what he thinks, I’m not going to let this spell dictate every part of my life. And there is no way in hell that I am his girlfriend. I just wish I could tell him to stop—I don’t know why I haven’t already.
