posted on by Adriana Hazra
The manga body-switch gag comedy manga follows Yakuza member Eiji Shiokawa as he wakes up in the body of a wealthy schoolgirl following a bus crash, and tries to fit into her life at a girls' high school.
Keiso and Kenta Yuzuriha launched the manga in Hakusensha's Young Animal magazine in June 2023. The company shipped the third compiled volume of the manga on December 26.
Keiso is best known for his Ishura light novel series featuring illustrations by Kureta. The novel began serialization on both the Shōsetsuka ni Narō and Kakuyomu websites in 2017. Kadokawa began publishing the series in print in September 2019. The novel series topped the tankōbon, novel, and new title categories of the 2021 edition of Takarajimasha's Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi! (This Light Novel Is Amazing!) guidebook with the most number of votes ever recorded for a light novel series in the guidebook's history. Yen Press is releasing the light novel series in English and its Yen Audio imprint launched it as an audiobook in October 2023.
The novels inspired a television anime that premiered in Japan in January 2024. The second season of the anime premiered on the Tokyo MX and AT-X channels on January 8. Meguri launched a manga adaptation in Kodansha's Monthly Shonen Magazine in March 2021.
