      volume 1

      Alternate titles: Yoku Wakaranai keredo Isekai ni Tensei Shiteita You Desu, よくわからないけれど異世界に転生していたようです
      Author: Ashi
      Artist: Khaomin
      Publisher: Kodansha (K-Lanobe Books)
      Volumes: 4 (most recent released Feb 2021)
      Manga: Yes (licensed by Seven Seas, 12 volumes and ongoing)
      Summary: I am cute, but I was a middle-aged researcher in my previous life?! Surviving in another world with magic and sciences!! The orphan Ren was riding the carriage after being sold, when she got involved into an accident, and got her previous life's memories back! "I was… a middle-aged man!" Indeed, she was a researcher in his thirties in her previous life, and had been living as an orphan girl up to now! Ren will make use of her talents in magic and knowledge in science to survive in this harsh world in order to escape from the investor who bought her!

      Comments: Not much really to say here - another series whose manga was licensed by Seven Seas, but not the actual LN itself.

        Surprised this wasn't suggested before. The manga is very fun.

            The market is currently flooded with isekai titles. Gender-bender titles aren't hard to find. There are isekai gender-bender titles, including one one recently licensed by JNC. That by itself isn't enough to sell me.

            So what makes this one interesting? A capsule plot summary isn't enough; is it the tone? Quality of the writing? Characterization?

            ...Cats are the proof of a higher purpose to the universe.

              No description I could give could accurately describe how fun the manga is in its execution. I hope that applies to the novel too. Easiest way to get a hang of it would probably be to check out a few chapters of the manga.

              To give points from the novel/manga,

                  I read the manga and i really would love to read the Novel for this one. Currently Seven Seas has the Manga licensed. As far as i know the Novel isn`t licensed.

                  For the Story itself, see the Spoiler.

                  spoiler

                  Thats how far the Manga actually goes. Without Textsamples it would be rather difficult to assume how the novel is written.
                  For what i can see from the Manga you can image a mix of Reborn to Master the Blade: From Hero-King to Extraordinary Squire ♀ and Housekeeping Mage from Another World: Making Your Adventures Feel Like Home! or Bookworm.

                  Reborn cause the Gender Bender Stuff. But the MC is by no means battlecrazy. She is avoiding it. But well with her knowledge from her former live and magic she finds ways to get the job done if neccesary. There are some jokes too. But it is not a comedy series.
                  Housekeeping because the story goes more in the direction of Advantenture, with a little bit slice of life. Ren doesn't play superhero nor is she one. So far she has Power, but the story hasn't progressed far enough to tell how Powerfull she is.
                  Bookworm, cause there are hints of a solid World Build with logic as far as i have seen. Than there is that stuff with the greedy merchant and nobles. And most importarnt, the MC doesn`t try to slove erverything with Power or her Skills.

                  As far as i can tell from other series 2-3 Volumes of Manga would be the plot of one Lightnovel.

                    I really enjoyed the WN translation of this one. The translation stopped at CH143 which at the time was the last WN chapter released at the end of 2020. This year the author released up to CH148.

                    From the looks of the Synopsis though the LN doesn't go any further in the story.

                        Yeah i 'm a big fan even if it has kinda got off track and the author has effectively stopped writing...
                        I'd still like to see it though

                          Spoilers don't seem to work after too many quotes. The above spoiler doesn't show in your post.
