"Gift of the Magi" Plot: Difference between revisions

== Anime and Manga ==

* [[Ditzy Genius|Miyako]] of ''[[Hidamari Sketch]]'' invoked this as [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship|Hiro and Sae]] exchanged gifts... [[Cultural Cross-Reference|Of course nobody understood what she said.]]

* In chapter 4 of ''[[Franken Fran]]'', a high school couple unknowingly swap genitals. The girl [[Rape as Backstory|was raped as a child]] and has an irrational reaction to being touched by a man, and the boy swaps genders for her sake. So does she, and [[Black Comedy|it's all treated as a joke at the end.]] {{spoiler|Namely, the girl catches on that intention, and so Fran gives them each other's organs.}}

* In ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho]]'', this is part of Hiei's backstory. One of the conditions the demon surgeon made Hiei agree to before implanting Hiei's [[Evil Eye]] was that Hiei could never reveal his true identity to his [[Separated at Birth]] sister. The same sister that Hiei wanted to find using the [[Evil Eye]]. When Hiei meets the surgeon again and has to duel him, the surgeon agrees to rescind the condition if Hiei wins. While Hiei claims that he had no intention of ever revealing himself to his sister, the surgeon believes that actually meeting her might have changed Hiei's mind.
