Description:
In one of the worlds that exist within virtual reality, Kagami held the title of one of the Nine Sages, a position that placed him at the pinnacle of magicians. One day, he fell asleep in-game after pulling an all-nighter. When he opened his eyes, what he found was a world that was different to the one before… More important than anything else, was that the grizzled and dignified veteran’s body that he was used to, had now turned into an innocent little girl’s. If his true identity was leaked, honestly speaking it was a situation where it was very possible that the solemn image he had built up until now would be destroyed. And to deal with this problem, the excuse that he came up with was…

Si sa véritable identité venait à être révélée, l’image qu’il a mis tant de temps à se créer auprès des gens serait détruite. Pour remédier à cela, l’excuse qu’il a trouvé est…

@Wreavant No, there is no good reason for the genderswap. There's almost no GB comedy. Or like, what I would consider as GB comedy. The story explanation is sufficient, I wouldn't say it's terrible unlike some manga which just throw you into the mix without explaining anything

Can anyone lmk if this manga actually has a good reason for the genderswap (or body swap I guess) and if it goes too over the top with the genderbender comedy? It’s not ecchi, so that’s a good start. I’m personally not into the comedy part, but if not for comedy, I sorta prefer a good story explanation as it’s not exactly my fav genre. That said, I have read a few REALLY excellent ones before, so I always try to ask.

@erneiz If you look at the raws for chapter 2, it actually is romanized as "Danblf", which I think we can all agree is the worst timeline :)

I can respect that translator's decision, but I can't agree on his reasoning. It's a portmanteau of two names:

Dumbledore: ダンブルドア
Gandalf: ガンダルフ
Mira's name: ダンブルフ　ガンダドア

See, the ル from the bolded parts merged together and the remaining part of the names combine perfectly into ガンダドア.
In actual fact, there is no reason a Japanese will write the name as ダンバルフ　because there is no バ anywhere on the original two names.
Unfortunately in English the name play doesn't really make sense this way, unless you write it as Dumblf or something.
Though I do think Dumbalf is the better choice here, because you are translating into English,
and just as it's not really right to use バ　for the Japanese, it's not really right to use "u" in English either.
