There is a specific trope in Japanese comics/manga about gender variance, namely the cross-gender body swap. There is even a sub-genre of erotic comics and movies looking at how such a scenario might play out.
The comic book writer Shūzō Oshimi used this trope as a basis for a serious comic looking at gender variance and identity called Inside Mari. The story does not play out in the way the genre expects you to, but it is interesting all the same.
Terrie Nova presents Inside Mari over at Crossdreamers, discussing its pros and cons.
