Yin-Yang! X-Change Alternative
Yin-Yang! X-Change Alternative is a Japanese erotic game produced by Crowd and distributed in English by Peach Princess. It is an offshoot of the popular X-Change series, but plot and storyline are entirely different and have no connection at all.
Plot
Kaoru Sakurazuka is a normal Japanese young man, not unique in the least except for his oddly feminine facial features, which drive him crazy. His name doesn't thrill him either—Kaoru is a common name for both girls and boys. He tries to make up for looking like a girl by wearing an extra coating of male bravado wherever he goes. He enjoys his time at school with his friends Touya and Renji.
In the game, Kaoru begins to have dizzy spells. After going to the school nurse—who's also famous for inventing new concoctions in the name of science—and accidentally drinking a vial of experimental medicine, Kaoru is shocked to wake up the next day to find that he's been transformed into a girl.
