I think maybe just maybe what natsuko said the first time she met ayu is true and ayu fall for natsuko while she was in haruko's body, and now she falling for haruko in natsuko's body

Also im looking towards chapter 26 "a week without swapping"

Lol! So, someone who can see through the swap? :3 I look forward to the confusion she will endure ^_^ hehehe

If you mean Ayu, she can't, though she certainly fell in love with Haruko all over again without noticing.

That's what I meant tho! Her love is strong enough she finds it in different bodies with ease! Lol

Err...wait, that sounds a bit... >.<

"Ayu is confused!"

The rate it's going, this'll end up rather more a ménage à trois than a triangle lel

So i'm not one to judge an author's works, but this mangaka has some sketchy stuff in her past and makes me wonder how she ended up drawing such a cute series

This comment made me look up Tomekichi's stuff on sadpanda and it looks like her favorite thing is crossdressing/gender bending. Somebody probably suggested body swapping to her as a natural extension.

There is some history of that - look at the author Higashiyama Shou - he did a great, cute series Prism - it got cancelled due to plagiarism of an ad, which I thought was nonsense. He did a great, cute series, Stretch. Look at his listing on Manga Updates:

Name Genre Year

Adult, Hentai, Lolicon 2007

Adult, Hentai, Lolicon 2008

Adult, Hentai, Lolicon 2010

Prism Comedy, Drama, Romance, School Life, Yuri 2010

Adult, Drama, Hentai, Lolicon, Romance 2013

Stretch Comedy, Drama, Seinen, Slice of Life 2013

I don't think his other stuff is worth searching.

Storywise, it's because once the main couple actually get together, it often marks the end of the story, so yeah, side couples are always more upfront and get more actual progress.

Makes sense. Still rooting for poor Natsuko, though. She'd never be able to prevent Haruko from looking at other women and enjoying it when they hug her. That's a given. But I hope they work something out where she gets some kid of commitment from Haruko. I think Natsuko's very romantic.

i like ayu better, natsuko is a tsundere and joykiller

^ Natsuko isn't a tsundere, she usually show some degree of affection to Haruko and is never cold toward her or pretend she has no interest in her. Mostly, she just has yet to accept her feelings toward Haruko and try to cling to her idea that kisses are something special that shouldn't be done so lightly while losing to the "swapping usefulness".

In a way, that attitude kinda highlight that she is into Haruko quite a bit as she's usually more reluctant to the idea of trying to swap with others (even her close friends who she should be comfortable with). Makes the whole "it's okay because it's useful !" looks kinda weak of an excuse as if it was really that, she'd have tried swapping with her other friends already instead of finding excuses to keep it special between Haruko and her.

To me, it feels like Ayu is mostly there as a way to have Natsuko face her own feelings toward Haruko by having a character who put the whole romantic attraction in the spotlight and in a serious manner instead of a joke, as with her friends.

I don't want to see Ayu's broken heart as a plot device.

She'll probably be confused then more persistent when she learns the truth xD

That makes total sense.

Going into it Ayu knew Haruko was Natsuko's lover, and she boldly announced she'd fight Natsuko for her. Hopefully that prepares her heart for the possibility of losing.

Natsuko, if you ever feel shy for touching Haruko's body while swapped, just remember that Haruko is probably having a blast with yours.

On page 3 of chapter 24, it says "Haruko-chan" but shouldn't it say "Natsuko-chan"? sorry if i'm wrong, but it looks like the names got mixed up.

Funny

I know haruko was joking here but she's already on the level of "I have come to give you my body"
man, that was good on many ways :D

yup, it should be natsuko, since they haven't swapped yet

Natsuko, if you ever feel shy for touching Haruko's body while swapped, just remember that Haruko is probably having a blast with yours.

I would love it if the next chapter is like a Side B where it shows what Haruko did in her body

squeals That kiss was so damn domestic! <333

...probably not much given that said body is running a decent fever. That tends to be a... pretty effective libido suppressant.

sadly.

Might be too nsfw for that manga, unfortunately (?) :p

edit : On a more serious tone, checked the volume's content table and next chapter is named "cold side Haruko", so we'll get to see what she did with that body. At least the sfw parts. XD

B-but holding hands with yourself doesn't count... does it?

B-but holding hands with yourself doesn't count... does it?

The eternal question: do you get pregnant from holding hands with yourself?

Come on, we all know Haruko's hand won't come into contact with her other hand. :p

But damn, Haruko sure have a nice body. <3

It often amuses me seeing people trying to guess what will happen based on chapter titles, because they're often completely wrong.
