Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who likes to be kept guessing, anyone who wants a laugh and animation lovers.
The mood
Light and funny, tense.
The pace
1 season: a few weeks of evenings, short, snackable episodes, about 5 hours in all.
What might put you off
  • Rated TV-14: scary moments. Probably too much for younger kids.
  • It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

One day, high-school boy Yamada bumps into the beautiful girl Shiraishi on the stairs (literally), and their lips touch as they fall. When they regain their wits, they realize that they have swapped bodies. As time progresses, the two realize that this is not the only mysterious happening in the school.
