bodyswap between a man and woman
COMMENT: 8/10 This is a coming-of-age gender bender that I really adore. Two childhood friends, a boy and girl, are permanently body-swapped. They are forced to grow up in each other's bodies. There will be quite a lot of romance to look forward to in this manga.

COMMENT: 9/10 This is a coming-of-age gender bender that I adore, similarly to Shishunki Bitter Change. It's basically a boy who was a bully, got permanently gender-transformed to a girl, and has to live with his(her) new body. This is particularly good because, unlike other gender bender stories, the protagonist here is forced to adapt to the new body and slowly picks up more and more feminine characteristics. This manga will focus on character growth, don't expect romance if you pick this up.

bodyswap between a man and woman
COMMENT: 6/10 The two main characters can bodyswap back and forth. However, there will be a lot of relationship turbulence as the story progresses due to one of the two main characters being homosexual. The low rating is due to unsatisfactory open-ended ending.
