a guy has a crush on a girl that he sees come into the convenience store he works and the next morning wakes up in her body!.Pretty simple setup which is not my cup of tea but things get pretty weird or probably mind fucky.
And again I'm a bit of a sucker for body-swapping and gender-bender manga in general, but this one in particular took the formula to very interesting places.
Okay let's talk about "inside mari " this manga bought mixed emotions out of me,it touched like no other author's works did.
I don't highly recommend this series because it is not going to be ... for everyone,some might find it not an easy read maybe discomforting as well

I'm just going to say it straight forward This is not a LOVE STORY,this is not ROMANCE
That's a story about an unexpected bond between two individual people working on getting over grife.
There is much awkwardness as they work to make a life together and help each other heal. It is at turns heartbreaking and heartwarming as these two strangers find their common ground and both learn to be better people.
I kept praying that this doesn't evolve into a romance story *phew* and stays platonic with Midori essentially becoming like a mom to Haru- unfortunately that didn't happen, which makes me sad,the ending felt pretty ... good tho.
