Description[]

“ In 1830s Mexico, a boy named Ramon visits a hot spring and finds he has a problem - whenever he is splashed with hot water, he turns into a girl! Of course, in hot, dry air, any water you find should be cold. Then where is all that hot water coming from?[3] ”
“ Ramon 'Macho' Caballo is a Mexican boy living in the south. Normal until he visits the sacred springs and, after acting a little too smart with the spirits, finds himself with a curse. Now whenever he is hit with hot water he turns into a girl, Machita, and cold water turns him back. A run in with the local Alcalde means that Ramon is a wanted man, but as Machita he has the perfect disguise. There's more afoot though, an ancient Aztec evil has re-awoken...[4] ”
