This is the most creative of the body-switching manga one-shots I've ever read. The setup is uniquely different.
As the story progresses, the mangaka gradually reveals information about what is going on, which is no easy thing in a one-shot. No big deus ex machina info dumps here. Everything makes perfect sense.
The characters are appealing and their personalities suit who they are. There is one crazy, slapstick incident that makes no sense, but it does break up the drama nicely.
Add in a great tear-jerker ending and you have an excellent product.

The only ... problem here is the MAL software insisting on longer reviews. It's not exactly easy to do that when you're talking about a one-shot.

I really love the story of this manga, at first, I thought it would be another generic ecchi-romantic-comedy with some body-switching powers, but I was wrong. it started as a light comedy with the main lead switched body with the main girl but as the story goes on and develops, there is a heavy drama and it really made me tears (LOL). I really how this manga suddenly develops even though it's only a one-shot, The plot is very interesting and it leaves a heavy emotion to your heart. So I really recommend this manga if you don't have anything to do.

It’s difficult to accurately rate things like one shot, but I’ll try. What starts off as a inconspicuous body swapping scenario turns out to have a big reveal and plenty of heartwarming sentiments packed into 30 pages. Of course, because of these constraints, it’s fairly rushed and a bit questionable of an ending. But as far as one shots go this is a gem.

We have two characters, one an outgoing high school girl and the other a mysterious guy who managed to wake up in her body (without spoiling anything). He spends the day living in her body being confused before areiving at an ... important revelation at the end of the day.
