It takes a concept usually reserved for comedies, the idea of two adolescents swapping bodies, which is usually a lead in for a poorly done romance story. A popular example of this type of story, although I have yet to see it, is Kimi no Wa (Your Name), which from what I've read is a fairly usual affair of a boy and girl switching bodies. So, if this concept is usually poorly done, why would I give Shishunki a 9/10? Well, that is because Shishunki focuses on the bad part of what could happen while in someone else's body.

Maybe that's all you want, but personally I like a little cheese on my crackers. Having the characters swap at an early age and then committing to it as they continue to age up through High School, with all the angst that comes with, is an interesting direction to take, and there's plenty of room read more
Here s my thoughts about this manga! First, yes, the story talks about two childs that swap their bodies, but that s not all, through the manga we see how at first this condition cause big troubles for our protagonists, but slowly they get used to it. The reader can notice the emotions that they feel, and that's possible thanks to the good work that the autor has done. Think that now that they re used to the body swapping plot it get better? No, it get worst, that's because they grow, the read more
Story - 8/10 Honestly the story isn't overly special, I predicted some of the major plot points within the first few chapters, but to be honest that was due to read more
Story (8/10) The way they swap bodies isn't very intresting or very new. After that the story improves very much. Still has cliches, but that's fine. The story is fantastic, and a great slice of life feel. It doesn't yet go into a lot of detail about how this happened to them, and I don't believe it will in the future. Art (8/10) The art read more
Gender swaps are not unusal in certain anime or manga and they are normally filled with comedic jokes and gags; however, Shisunki takes this concept a step further by actually entertaining us with the notion of what really would happen if faced with this dilemma. That doesnt mean the series is devoid of any comedy regarding its situation, there is, but read more
Art While the art is very simple, it works and is kind of cute in its own way. The art isn't ugly, just plain. It has its own charm to it. Characters The characters are very well done. I feel very emotionally attached to the two main characters and even the side characters are very realistically portrayed. Story I thought this was going to be something light and fluffy like Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches, with the body swapping. It would have even been alright if it was as read more
Just personal scratch. Advised, possible spoilers. Opinion & Informal Art: 6/10 Fine. Anatomy and proportions checked out. Backgrounds looked about average. Not much nature showcases or environmental scenery. Interior details were a bit sparse at times but were fine for the most part. Supporting details looked alright. A few nice-looking impact panels and shots. Overall, the art was fine. Panel Progression: 7/10 Good pacing. Feelings expressed nicely and panel design was thought out. Flair in a lot of panel cutting. Helpful amount of supporting tones read more
What is rare is to find a genuine body swap genderbender drama that doesn't ruin itself with stupid comedy. As any fan of serious genderbender can most probably sympathize, the number of genderbender stories that are not either a) ecchi fan service, or b) ridiculous comedy, ...is exceptionally low. In addition to this, the characters are quite well developed. It's a character-driven drama, and its characters are its main strength. There are a few tropes, to be sure, but they are not executed too blandly. The relationship aspects are also handled well, read more |
