Synopsis

Hiroki Kamiya believes that women have it easy. Every day his sister Yui lazes about, playing games and doing absolutely nothing. One night, after Hiroki updates his "Observation Diary," he receives a mysterious message telling him how to become a girl. He dismisses it at first as a scam; however, after an argument with his sister, he follows the instructions to experience the carefree life of a girl. The method allows a person to swap bodies with a stranger—letting someone enter your body while you enter another's.

After spending two hours in a girl's body, Hiroki returns to his own but is met with a shocking sight—Yui's bloody corpse in his arms and a knife clenched in his hands. Who entered his body while he was gone, and why did they murder his sister? Hiroki's first lead is the girl whose body he entered: Mikuni Mikuriya, a famous idol. Desperate for answers, he will do whatever it takes to bring justice to his sister's murderer.

[MILD SPOILER ALERT, BUT COME ON, IT'S NOT AS IF IT'S NOT WRITTEN ON THE SYNOPSIS ANYWAY]

This is generally the type of manga you could sift through the whole afternoon with a cup of coffee at hand. After finishing you would mull over, stare at your laptop, and wonder if there's anything better to do with your life because this manga will leave you mentally blank.

Story - 6

The story starts off strong with the murder of the MC's sister and the introduction of swapping bodies. Although the plot itself is not original, it's still nonetheless interesting. The speed at which information and characters are introduced is good which allows the reader to digest it in a way that's easy. However, the plot at the end starts to be a little too simplistic and predictable for my taste, with the main characters just using their "abilities" to get through the story. In murder fiction, It is necessary for the reader ...

Mixed Feelings
The Manga starts out with an interesting premise and is quite enjoyable to read. The characters are fun to watch and the mystery unfolds nicely. Also the echii is an eye candy and not too overused. You can't expect too much depth regarding the question what might drive humans to exchange bodies but the author at least tries to touch this topic. More than that, it focuses on a game of identifying persons that entered your body. Unfortunately the last few chapters try to force some implausible / cliche twists down your throat. This leaves you with a bitter taste, since the good impression you ...
