This manga has been a memorable one to read into. A lot of shoujo manga's that Iv'e read seems to have a certain pattern to it's plot. Everything is getting repetitive and boring so I decided to read Switch Girl!!, the title actually caught my attention.
If you want a new series that you feel like getting a laugh on this manga is totally recommended.
Being a girl is really difficult, caring for our looks and actions is a must for us because the world thinks that our job is to act pretty and to behave maturely. The story of Switch Girl shows
...
that not all girls enjoy the same things, we are all born in a unique way. It starts off with Nika Tamiya having two personalities, one is her true self which she hides for the sake of society and the other one is her being pretty and popular. Another boy is in a similar situation, Arata Kamiya, due to his good looks he tries to hide himself in ugly glasses to escape fan girls from crushing on him.
The story is really good it stays true to it's genre especially on the comedy.
As for the art, it sticks to the typical shoujo style. Big eyes, sparkly backgrounds, and skinny bodies. Though some characters almost looked the same especially the boys, at one point I thought I saw the same panel again due to it's similarities.
Character development was okay you can really grow with them as you read more of Switch Girll!!
Overall, I'm really tired of seeing how girls have to look cute just for love. To think that Nika's switch was turned on because she knew that being ugly will get you now where in life. The trauma of knowing that made her a Switch Girl. You might think it's a good thing she changed but if you think deeply on this isn't it sad? Girls have to change just to be loved, just to be noticed by anyone. No one wants to be alone so we desperately try so hard to be something that's worth people's eyes. I'm just happy that she still has her personality with her and that the only thing that changed was the outside and not the inside.
But I'm not here to give you lecture about stereotypes anyway the manga was a great read for me. I can say that If you ever read Switch Girl it will help you see that girls really work hard for love.
