I don't think I laughed once watching this first episode. Every single punchline was utterly predictable (gray-haired guy getting beat up by those three fanboys, Yamada checking if he has boobs, the reveal that he can switch with anybody, etc.) and the concept is lacking in creativity. No, "kissing guys" is not a creative method to utilize body-swapping.

I honeslty expected a generic j-pop OP sung by a loud female voice(ex. Lisa) but this one was pretty nice.
It seemed a bit rushed but it's not THAT rushed to complain about yet.

Not even a good one. Nene is horrible.

Just letting you guys know,Miyamura is objectively best girl.

Yeah, I'm fairly disappointed.

[spoiler]Yamada asking Shiraishi to join him was also a pretty huge moment for the two.

2 guys kissing was the highlight of this episode

I feel very conflicted while watching this show. Harem and eechi and it hasn't prompted me to drop it after 2 seconds. It wasn't so heavy this episode, but once it picks up, I might have to throw it in the trash.

OP/ED are decent, and so is the art. From all the posts on here it seems this was a bit rushed for an adaptation, so I'll probably pick up the manga later on. Interesting story and characters (from what I see in the OP). Bonus points for that tiny BL there.

It's not a harem.

Episode was alright but they rushed through Yamada and Shiraishi becoming friends. Also didn't include the subplot with the photos.

12 episodes only, why...

A couple of years ago this was my fav manga for a long while.
The episode count is definitely going to hurt it but the first episode was okay.

I really like this cast of characters, though i'm not sure the comedy is translating well.
The voice work going on here is interesting to listen to.

Holy shit. Shiraishi is fucking cute.
The guy kiss tho. 10/10

Felt like a good episode to me. Good comedy, wonderful romance is enough to make me going.
OP is amazing though. Not a girl singer this time.

However, I feel like reading the manga because I cannot wait any further. brb

EDIT: Holy shit. They made a lot of changes right there. Didn't even notice them when I first watched the anime.

I like how Shiraishi just went to her classes as usual in Yamada's body. Quite an easygoing person she is, not caring about kissing at all.

Yamada checking out Shiraishi's body while being inside her was hilarious! That nosebleed though.. XD

Miyamura and Yamada's kiss was pretty funny too! Shiraishi probably secretly likes Yamada so she didn't let Miyamura try it on her. ;3

Decent start. OP and ED are pretty good too. Looking forward to Supernatural Studies club's amusing activities.

I know it's tagged as a harem and all, but it hardly isn't even a harem. They're just a few more girls then guys. Also, the thing is, I'd say this is an 'improved' harem (if it's even considered one) due to the fact that they focus on the male characters as much as they do for the females.

The manga was fun to read.

They skipped some materials and made few changes.

Yamada went to the girls' washroom while in Shiraishi's body to check out the body was alol.

I don't like the pacing thus far, and I feel like it's gonna end in a bad place. I've been a fan of the manga for awhile and am disappointed this will only be 12 episodes, but I finally get to see it adapted and that makes me happy.
I just hope they slow the pace a little.

As someone who's reading the manga, I personally didn't think this was too rushed. Granted, I read the first volume about a year and a half ago so I might be forgetting things...

Still, love Miyamura! The way he always comes on Yamada is awesome :D

Damn, the seiyuus were fantastic for the body swapping! Very enjoyable first episode, even though the rate they're adapting the manga is alarmingly frightening... :[ Definitely a lot of general relationship development skipped in this.

Imo, Itou (the chick that shows up at the end) definitely should not have been introduced yet. Too many main characters introduced in just one episode. Welp, gotta hope for the best for this series.

Haha, good joke.



Nene is the most complex character in the manga and the character who received the best character development. In the beginning was she was kind of bitchy to be honest and I didn't really like her all that much but as the story continued, she became a better person and a more enjoyable character making her turn into the best girl of this series. Shiraishi is basically, 1st and second chapter is my time for character development and I'll become more and more pointless as the story goes(She never got development after this), the other witches also got their par of development but nothing was as beautiful and as Fluid as Nene's.

And btw no Nene shoudn't be with Yamada(Even thought it's one of my favorite couples of this show(Every couple including Nene is my favorite, LOL), Nene should be with Tamaki.

Yamada has a thing for Shiraishi at this point(It's simply a crush) but Shiraishi doesn't have feelings for Yamada yet.

Well, that was pretty darn funny. Yamada is a real tsundere :P

All that kisses power make me wonder, if for exemple Yamda kissed Shiraishi and then, Shiraishi (in Yamada body) kissed Miyamura, would Shiraishi be in Miyamura body while he is in Yamada body and while Yamada is in Shiraishi body? This makes me incredibly confused. I guess they'll experiment what I said with that other girl.

As soon as that bento girl appeared, I just knew she was going to be a bitch. That smile was screaming evil! :O

I absolutely loved the first episode. The comedy was spot-on and Yamada is coming off as a legendary MC already. Shiraishi also has got that allure about her and definitely isn't the typical "super smart and perfect" student. Along with some great chemistry between the characters so far (including Miyamura) and I can see why the manga is pretty popular. I can't wait for next weeks shit show :)

- I like the characters enough, and the humor is light and fun.
- Yamada's a delinquent but he's fairly innocent.
- The fanservice is appropriate and not excessive or annoying
- Not a harem cast yet.
- Main girl is pleasant, not condescending or rude.

It didn't feel particularly rushed, but seeing how it's a 1 cour they probably will burn through material.

Nuuuu they skipped the whole reason Miyamura butt in, Yamada-Shiraishi initial relationships, and the "Dude, E-cups" scene. Well still a very good start of the adaptation on its own, but hope it doesn't get worse from the rush.

I never planned to watch this because i thought its gonna be just some dumb harem again (i see people here saying its not...well,i damn hope so!). But then someone i follow on twitter was like....there were guys kissing! That bait really worked on fujoshi trash like myself...Anygay, i found it pretty cute even besides the guys kissing:D So yeah,i am gonna keep following it.

After watching it(and it having been about a year or more since I first read it) I rather liked the adaptation. I didn't even realize that was 6 chapters worth of stuff besides thinking that Itou came in later than she did. Overall, I'm hoping this is something really great.

looking at this from an anime only perspective it works well and was a good episode.

Spoiling all 7 witches in the op/ed is utterly ridiculous though, is it that hard to just shadow them out until thur introduction? now there is literally no suspense to finding out thur identities.

As a manga reader though this was extremely disappointing for those wanting to know how this episode relates to the manga see the spoiler below.

Something about Yamada's voice sounds unfitting, imo. Otherwise a decent start to a series that I truly adored like a year agowhen it was at its peak.

Don't see this turning out well with 12 episodes though...

I put manga manga on-hold after chapter 93 orso, when ''main story'' finished, and man this feels so nostalgic.I missed that idiot Miyamura and other characters (can't wait for Noa to make appearance).Gotta restart manga i guess.

Oh, and opening song is great.

Poor Shiraishi is being bullied eh... LOL, Yamada just sent his body flying and that girl ran away XD.

Dat kiss doe :3

LOL, Miyamura got his ass kicked by those guys... ah, it was part of his plan, he's smart eh...

Dat BL scene and kiss doe... XD

This series is rather interesting and fun so I'll continue watching it.

Why can't manga readers just except it as some fan service. It doesn't have to be perfectly adapted if you know the whole story to fill in the blanks. This episode was good, well animated, funny, and I'm excited for the rest of the season.
