Reviews for Swap⇔Swap

THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE END OF THE SWAP⇔SWAP MANGA DO NOT CONTINUE UNLESS YOU ARE AWARE OF THISI honestly thought this manga could take a permanent spot at #1 on my favorites list. Unfortunately, like many Shoujo Ai series, the ending was absolutely disappointing.

When I picked up this manga halfway through its publishing time. I quickly found myself falling in love with the relationship dynamic of the main girls Haruko and Natsuko. I was totally enthralled with thoughts of how their relationship (and the relationships of the surprisingly interesting and likable side-characters) would be developed. For 51 chapters I was in a constant state of excitement for what would happen next.

When I finally saw: "Chapter 52 (END)" pop up on my screen, I was horrified. There was clearly at least 15 chapters worth of content to be explored before a satisfying ending could happen. At this point I was expecting a shitty romance confession and a rushed relationship. I wasn't overly frustrated yet, as this was the norm in Shoujo Ai manga.

Bafflingly enough, the ending was actually far worse than I had imagined.

As I was expecting the rushed romantic finish, I instead found out there was absolutely no resolution WHATSOEVER. No romantic progress, no real indication that the characters had grown substantially since the start of the series, and overall nothing of value had been accomplished.

Maybe I'm being too harsh, as this type of ending is not at all rare in this genre of manga, but I really had higher expectations for this series. This wasn't some "yuri undertones" series centered around implied feelings and misunderstandings, there were real, canon lesbian relationships.

At the end of the day, I find myself completely and utterly disappointed by what this manga did with the immense potential it had.

Overall 5/10

I find it kind of surprising that this doesn't have more attention on it. It's a pretty fun story and it must be popular in Japan or so because it even has some merchandise. I find that the two main characters too be the best part of the show. I like all the side characters. I wish this the story would already ship the two MC's together. They're already Kissing each other, Has good chemistry and they tease it enough. The story also has some really good art and it's really nice. When we get colored parts then it's really nice looking. Overall a fun storythat i would recommend to check out. If your a Yuri fan then you will probably also like this a lot more.

FLUFF ALERT. FLUFF ALERT. If you want more fluff in your life, you've come to the right place. If you enjoy a bubbly girls love story, you've come to the right place. The idea of swapping bodies is nothing new when it comes to manga and anime, however "Swap Swap" uses this to bring the characters closer together and it creates a very natural fluffy atmosphere; making it a great casual read that brightens my day whenever a new chapter comes out. The 4 Koma style also adds to the casual atmosphere and makes the jokes work and fit in with the flow of the storywell. It's reads sort of like『トモちゃんは女の子!』("Tomo-chan wa Onnanoko") in terms of comedy sense although the jokes themselves are different.

Overall, its a great fluffy and happy story. I'm looking forward to reading more as chapters come out, and if you're looking for more fluff in your life, I hope that you will give "Swap Swap" a try too.
