My Rating: ★★★★★
I received a copy from Kodansha Comics through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Azusa lives and breathes for her idol, Chika, from Prince 4 U. Now that she has front row tickets to see him, she’s about to have the best day of her life. At least, that’s what was supposed to happen. When a freak accident results in both of their deaths, they meet each other in heaven as God informs them that they weren’t meant to die. It was all a mistake and He’s returning their souls to their bodies. Unfortunately for them, there’s a bit mix up and they wake up in each other’s bodies.
We follow Azusa, who believes all her good deeds has earned those front row tickets to see her idol. She aims to be the perfect student, peer, friend, and family member. When she swaps places with her idol, Chika, she enters a whole new world. Not only is she internally fangirling hard, but she’s now tasked with pulling off interviews and performances whenever they swap places at a bad time. It all goes well until it doesn’t, which is absolutely hilarious.
I’ve seen a few body swap movies growing up and thought they were hilarious, so of course I was all over this. I usually see body swaps presented with family members switching places and such, so having a fan and her idol switch places is an excellent and hilarious twist on this age-old comedy plot. I was not in any way disappointed and found myself laughing from beginning to end.
I’m interested in learning more about Azusa and Chika as the series continues. We don’t learn a lot about Chika in this volume, but there was a lot going on and we primarily follow Azusa. What we know about Chika is mainly through her eyes as a fan, so I am interested in learning more about him while seeing what kind of character development is in store for Azusa. I am definitely picking up the next volume because this was a fun and hilarious read.
