Synopsis: (from MAL (translated from Overlap))
After being reincarnated into another world where the chastity and moral values of men and women are reversed and women rule the land, Faust was raised by his mother as a rare male knight. He's quick to become a war hero with many achievements under his belt, but because he inherited his way of thinking from his previous world, there's a certain severe pain in his groin day in and day out when faced with the likes of a scantily clad Queen who may as well be in the nude or the sexual harassment of the well endowed Duchess he calls a friend, among others...

Why:
This is an interesting story. You have Faust, who is from our world with specific ideas of manliness. Then he goes to this other world as a nobleman and is raised not much different than he would if he was in our world. However, his upbringing is anything but normal. Only women are raised to rule their territories the way he was because there are very few men in this world and they are generally sheltered and wimpy. Faust is anything but, as he is a beast of a man - massive strength, intelligent, and understanding of war and battle.

As he goes to the capitol, he's also under the impression that women find him "unmanly" and disgusting, but that's the exact opposite of the truth. The women of the world cannot get enough of him, and they all want to make him theirs. However, to ensure he can retain leadership of his lands, he must remain chaste, and it's quite hilarious to watch the antics he has to go through to hide himself since men in the world normally don't get aroused easily (note: the books are pretty much completely SFW, so no worries there).

I read the manga chapters a while ago, and I thought it was pretty enjoyable. I'd be happy to see this.

@Ingraman

Yeah, looking at the Overlap series page pretty much every single woman aside from the lead are big.

Is this supposed to be a play on how our regular society puts a big focus on men’s masculinity, so the reversed society puts a big focus on women’s femininity? Or is it just the author’s fetish? Nobody knows~

@Torka said in Virgin Knight Who Is the Frontier Lord in the Gender Switched World:

Nobody knows~

No one might know, but we can likely go with confidence towards the latter.
