I'm thinking a minimum three-stage sequence in which someone with a masculine form unexpectedly winds up with a feminine form. This would either be a "Dan's Choice" or a poll at the end of the month (or both, doesn't have to be just one).
With that in mind, who would you propose? The exact context would...

Blushing angel and devil Nanase!
Most likely, they are blushing because they've only just now realized what they're wearing!
That, or the conundrum Nanase is facing is an embarrassing one?
It's a mysterious mystery.
