Well, nobody knows if it’s true or not. The Japanese are always looking for something original. I guess they are running out of ideas.
Heard about the guy who had a sex-change after his girlfriend said she’s a lesbian?
“Harukarin Blog,” the hot bestseller, tells the supposedly true story of Harukarin Nakagawa, a 23-year-old who claims to have undergone a sex change operation that made him a woman because his girlfriend of several years decided she was a lesbian and would prefer he was female.
“Harukarin Blog” is comprised mainly of excerpts taken from Nakagawa’s blog entries detailing her transformation from man to woman and has sold steadily since it hit bookstore shelves in May.
But, though “Harukarin Blog” has attracted a fairly large fan base, it’s also been slammed by Japan’s online community, which says the story is too good to be true.
“The whole story of a guy’s girlfriend of five years telling him she’s a lesbian and asking him to become a woman is just ridiculous,” one online critic says.
Nakagawa claims in the blog that breasts started to bud soon after starting the female hormone injections, a point that fueled another “Harukarin Blog” naysayer’s opposition. “It’s medically impossible to develop a bust as fast as the writer claims,” the skeptic said.

True or not, I’ll just leave it for you to decide. Perhaps Ang Lee can make a film out of it and call it Fuji Mountain or something. It’s okay if it fails, after all, it’s an art film right?
