- Story & Theme
A teachers headache and a teachers pet accidentally kiss and switch bodies. You might think you know how that will turn out, but the series quickly changes into something else and what could have been a predictable story about two different people forced to live each others lives turns into a search for others with strange powers and the friendships that are forged along the way. There is an element of romance in it, but it's played out in a way that feels more natural and part of the character development and story rather than what the anime is all about. It's not a deep or thought provoking story by any means, but it's also not predictable or assembled from a blueprint.
- Characters & Writing
There are no real tropes here, which is refreshing, and each time you think one might pop up you're soon treated to a step away from archetypes and each character feels like an actual person. While the supernatural stuff in the story surely isn't very believable the characters are and their behaviour is more often than not quite reasonable. Everyone is likable and relatable and there are a lot of good vibes. The protagonist is a delinquent, but that's not his defining trait and both he and everyone else develop their characters throughout the series.
- Style & Presentation
Animation and design is good and functional, music and sound is the same. You're not going to find anything here that stands out but it's well done and fits into the rest.
- Conclusion
Perhaps the best way to describe this is comfort food anime. It's short, sweet and well done in all aspects. It's not an explosion of flavor or anything exotic or spicy, but it ticks all the boxes for a solid experience. I can recommend this if you want to watch a romance anime with some supernatural stuff and some good character development. What holds it back is that it really isn't anything all that special about it, but in a way that's actually fine. This anime knows it isn't revolutionary and it doesn't try to be either.
