No, it's not magical, I think Itsuki is actually what is called an [intersex], which is a real syndrome. Most of the time the changes occur when you are very young.
I'm not sure how old Itsuki is but it might've still been possible for their hormones to develop one way or another, and those hormones change our features from masculine features to feminine.
There are real people and real case studies about this. You can google it.

Oh I thought intersex was when you have like both female and male reproductive organs. Also if this was the case, then I feel like it’d be weird that no doctors knew what was going on (which is said in chap 2 or something), although it could be a small plot hole. I saw a lot of ppl saying it might’ve been Ritsu’s wish that Itsuki became a girl , so I took it as a magical thing. idk though, hopefully they’ll explain more..?

No, there are different cases and different types of intersex. There are case studies of people who suddenly have to deal with becoming a different gender, and it
s a little traumatizing.
Anyway...maybe the author didn't know in full detail about intersex.
But it's also true that it's a rare thing most people don't know about. Maybe the doc don't know either XDa (tbh doctors in Japan aren't really that competent---)

True. Intersex is a very real thing, but I think the author left it up to the viewer's discretion. The way the manga describes Itsuki's transition makes it sound more magical than medical especially when they mention the doctors' opinion. Japan is developed country so I'm sure doctors would've been able to identify whether or not she was intersex. The author might have left it ambiguous for readers who might not understand what intersex is.
Wait, im somewhere at the beginning of the story and i don't get it. What does she mean that her body has started to change? Isn't she a trans?
