Gender-Bender Manga Mash

Description

I stumbled across this while on a quest to get rid of all the old crap that is filling up my computer's hard drives, and I though I'd post it. The story behind this is that, over the course of a summer, I was bored enough that I decided to go through my favorite gender-bender themed manga and extract some cool images of the main characters, take them off the page, clean up any text, word bubbles or background, and save them. So after a few weeks of this, I found myself with a folder full of pictures of the characters, and no idea of what to do with them. So I decided I might as well brush up on my graphic design too and decided to create a sort of cover page or poster-thing advertising the gender-bender genre, so here it is.

Oddly enough, when I looked up Japanese words I could piece together to form a name , they all happened to sound alike: "Sei" (gender) sounds like the beginning of "sekai" (world), while "kikai" (strange, mysterious) has the same ending as "sekai". I thought that was pretty cool.

The characters depicted are:
(the little ones at the top, from left to right)

Yanagiba Masahiko from Family Compo - M to F crossdresser
Sakuragi Azuma from Shounen x Cinderella - M to F crosdresser
Akira from Shoujou Shounen - M to F crossdresser
Agent Musashi #9 from 9 Banme no Musashi - F to M crossdresser, Androgyne
Kiri from Never Give up - F to M crossdresser
Mizuki Ashiya from Hana Kimi - F to M crossdresser
(big one on the right)
Makoto Suda from Nicoichi - M to F crossdresser
(bottom)
Mizuki Sakurazaka from Ai wo Utau yori Ore ni Oborero - F to M crossdresser
(greyish one in the middle)
Ichijo Mashiro from After School Nightmare - Intersexed (born female below and male up above)

Oddly enough, I seem to have unconsciously used exactly 4 each of characters who are truly female and truly male, plus Mashiro in the middle who's exactly half female and half male, so the work is perfectly balanced in terms of the sexes. I didn't even plan this!

All of these characters are, of course, not mine, and are copyrighted to their respective creators. I just cleaned 'em up and shuffled them around is all.

Any feedback is appreciated!

From what you mentioned, the only manga I've read was ASN. Pretty good book too. (SPOILER In the dreams he's all male, but he's meant to be a girl.)
