If the title is a send off to the Backstreet Boys, that, in and of itself, makes it worth reading and rooting for!

So do they transform in to girls or is plastic surgery/cross-dressing or are they just remote control female androids.

W... what.
I've seen a few anime go with the forced crossdressing route, which I like, but that sounds a little out of my league.

Second. Basically, they're transgenders now.

Oh my God… This is a hard pass. Can’t even imagine anyone liking this.

Well, it's the same black humour comedy that was in Prison School (they're in the same magazine). So...

I checked it out and I laughed a good few times, so I have it on my 3 ep watch list for when it does air. If anything this show will be the anime that season to be mined for reaction images.

The “Is it gay?” arguments are going to be legendary.

I think you need to chill and not take it so seriously. There is plenty of reason for people to like this.

I might give this a watch, to see what the series actually does with the premise. Kind of reminds me of White Chicks.

According to the encyclopedia entry, it's one of those perfect sex change operations (well, three of them, I guess). Unless the story actually goes into how that's not how they actually work.

I read the first few chapters when this first serialized, the basic setup is:
The three of them screwed up and lost big on some business deal for their yakuza boss. Rather than kill them, he coerces them into (fictitiously perfect) SRS and subjects them to like an entire year of mindfsck to mold them into an idol group to earn back the money they lost. (Because their boss heard there's a lot of money to be made in idols these days) Imagine if J. Jonah Jameson was a yakuza boss—that is their boss.
The chapters then revolve around the black comedy of the trio trying to retain what shreds of their dignity they can as they perform as a B-list idol group whose theater is literally down a back alley. At the same time you get abject horror from them when they occasionally find themselves liking certain aspects of idoldom/being girls. I think the term Backstreet Girls also has a specific connotation in Japan, but I can't remember what it was anymore.
The artstyle is rather odd compared to most manga, but the reaction faces are top-rate.

Thanks Japan...We all just loved to be reminded of how much you love transgenders .-.
This is obviously going to create uproar.
