By most accounts, the polling becomes almost completely irrelevant as soon as a volume gets released and there are actual sales figures. It doesn't really matter how high it ranks in the polls if it's not selling any volumes. On the opposite side, so long as its volumes keep selling well, they don't care so much about it being low in the monthly polls.

That said, given Haruko is gay, at least, and Natsuko probably is at least bi, they should have made far more progress.

I mean the manga refused to even commit to this, with it always being stated that Haruko is just jealous of large boobs, despite the fact that, that isnt generally how jealous ppl act.

Awwwww I knew it was coming but still gutted its over! It was a fun journey the ol' switcheroo (swap swap lol) it was everything I wanted and more than I could imagine for a simple 4 koma, yet pretty indeapth with the details of what happens within their swaps.... Gonna miss it but it was left sort of open for stuff to contue in the end so I'm still selling fragments of my soul and investing it in maybe this getting another series or continuing.

Kinda disappointed, but it's pretty on par with manga in general, just stops suddenly. Enjoyed it very much, will miss them!

I don't think they learned anything from not being able to swap in that short period of time. I guess it's alright, they're all happy together in the end, and that's all that matters

it had to end sometime. I'm sure the artist has tonnes of other ideas cooked up to draw sooner or later.

A slightly better ending would have been for them to ponder what desire might make them not swap with a kiss, followed by a mutual blush. But at least this is an ending, even if it's not a particularly satisfying one.

Loved this series, and had a pretty satisfying ending. Overall a really cute yuri manga, definitely recommended!

That back cover is perfect

I really miss this series, it's hard to find something that would be this particular type of relaxing, cute and drama-free at the same time.

Ahhh, this was really cute. It would have been nice to get a bit more development of our leads' relationship at the end, but it certainly doesn't feel like a "just friends" ending. More like a "pre-relationship" ending at least, if not "useless lesbians are dating and just haven't realized it yet".

It's a pity it got discontinued before it really got a chance to explore the "swapping is caused by desire" theme more, that has a lot of really interesting character writing potential, even for a gag series. Hell, even from what we do have, if you look over the previous chapters with the understanding that swapping is caused by desire, you can see all three of our pairs of swappers go from envious desire for (parts of) each other's lives to a shared desire to build a life together (Haruko outright says her vision of the future has Natsuko in it! it's played as a joke but that's still significant). I think the arc of them losing the ability to swap and then getting it back again could have been really interesting from that perspective if it had a few more chapters to breathe, but as it is it felt pretty rushed and pointless.

Also cool to see a chronically ill character, especially with the acknowledgement that just because someone can get out of bed some days doesn't mean they can every day. I went ahead and suggested the disability tag for chapters 9 and 19, where Akiho's chronic illness is in narrative focus. Not sure if it's worth adding for the other chapters where we see her body or not.

Wonder if anyone's aware of the author's new serialization. Don't think there's much lez to it but I think it might head into it some time soon.
Although having the main characters be two gals and a dude would be a blatant turn-off lol

Not sure why they were rejected at first - but thanks for making it. Not sure if it was overlooked the first time or what happened, but it's definitely a worthwhile add Imo.

I really appreciate this comic's cisness. It captured my observations and experiences with women weirdly so (makes sense when it's a lady that authored this comic). Haven't seen much like it.

If Haruko isn't gay, the Bible-belters are right and it's a myth.

Binge reading the whole thing makes you even more aware of how abrupt that ending is. I had completely forgotten just how fast it is

Cant believe they added subtext in a manga specifically about women kissing women

After giving that manga another read (I already did too many times) I think it did not need a full confessions. A lot of relationships never have that epic "I love you" moment. They simply develop into a romance.
