Body swapping fun! 

In both mangas, a person switches bodies with another person as one is tired of their life due to a specific reason. But when they change bodies, things complicate as something else happens (tragic in Mayonaka no Cross Method, and in Sora wo Kakeru Yodaka no one will believe her). Both characters have someone who discovers her identity, and supports the main (revenge in Mayonaka no Cross Method and getting her body back in Sora wo Kakeru Yodaka). However, in Mayonaka no Cross Method, you can only switch bodies for 2 hours, whereas in Sora wo Kakeru Yodaka you switch bodies (for as long as needed to, however, after 200 days whoever's in the body would fuse them together, and they would have to live the rest of their life as that person), but the main does not know how to switch back (after all she didn't initiate it). Also, Mayonaka no Cross Method is much more mature and developed and the culprit for his revenge has not been caught, whereas Sora wo Kakeru Yodaka is much more lighthearted and she knows who has her body. If you've read one, you may enjoy the other.  read more

Both manga also central around a "game" of some type- be it the Cross Method or the Tomodachi Game- as well as individuals who attempt to manipulate the game to their advantage. Both manga have a Cat-and-Mouse dynamic, placing the characters in dire circumstances, and leaving them to find a way out.
