Shishunki Bitter Change

This is an interesting one. It's a shojo drama/romcom...5koma(?), but it starts off with an elementary school boy falling out of a tree and hitting heads with an elementary school girl, swapping bodies. They agree to meet up the following day to figure out how to fix it, and do so. Except...they can't fix it. And time goes on. And then they move on to middle school. And then to high school, and they may never switch back. It's an interesting take on the gender-bender type of series, and has zero fanservice.

My one complaint is the translator is creepy and adds gross little fake translations at the end of some the chapters, but that's not reflective of the series itself, at least.

Bitter Change is v. good, and the only worthwhile body swap manga i've ever found. I only have two small problems with it.

1. The translators don't scanlate the magazine scans, only the finished volumes, so you have to wait an agonizing half a year between chapter batches
2. I wish the mangaka was better / more efficient at paneling so they could fit more story into each chapter, i need mooooore

The author who also does The Magician's Bride(mahou tsukai no yome) is making a more typical romance series as well, about a high schooler who gets together with a college graduate and they agree to marry once he's out of high school. It's super sweet so long as you're not offended by those sorts of romances. I like all the characters in it, even if some may not be good people themselves, and it's just really cute most of the time.

quote:

Kanako is a young woman who is running an old book store. One day, a customer comes in who shares her taste in books. He's a teenager named Akio, and he and Kanako quickly find that their taste in books is only the first of many ways that they fit together well. Kanako immediately realizes she wants to be with him, and soon blurts out awkward things, like proposals of marriage and cohabitation. Despite their different ages and their awkwardness, it seems like their relationship has the potential to grow into something beautiful.

You have been a most worthy adversary, but in every game, there are winners and there are losers. And as you know, in this game, losers get robotizicized!
this hasnt been translated since 2011 and is still being published (last volume, 3, was published in 2009?). which is why i've never started it

It's really good but I kinda would've liked it more if the focus was spread on the two protagonists a bit more instead of 'dude solves problems'.

Still like it, though.

This series showed up on Kissmanga's recent updates a bit ago, Spotted Flower

A tale of a hardcore otaku and his pregnant wife.

The wife, she just wants to get some, but the husband, he's a weenie.




Series is NWS, but it's adorable and funny most of the time.
