Goodreads Synopsis:
When elder brother
Youta and kid sister Hikaru get into an accident that switches their
bodies, Hikaru (in her brother's body) changes into a fiendish sadist,
and Youta (in his sister's body) finds himself her "girlfriend." Thrust
into a bizarre reality where he's now taking orders from his own body,
will Youta ever get himself out of this pinch and back where he
belongs?!
Review:
This is a pretty
mature series. I don’t know how much more it’ll get, but there’s a lot of
forceful kissing, and a lot of hinting for more. I kind of love it.
I know that some
people have a problem with the brother/sister thing (even if they technically
aren’t), but I kind of don’t? I probably should, but I don’t. I’m just getting
that out of the way. It doesn’t really bother me.
I do love the
reverse stereotypical sexism here. How they’re now the normal stereotype of
woman and man, that they’re in the others’ body. I mentioned it in the last
volume, but it’s so well done here.
Youta is forced
into a relationship with the now older sibling, even if he doesn’t want to be,
or is denying that he wants to be. And Hikaru is very forceful about it,
touching Youta all the time, not bothered if people know. And Hikaru's insecurity
that Youta will never want it is very sweet.
We see more of
Yurika, who is trying to manipulate the younger sibling to be hers. We got to
know Kakeru better, though, and he’s a sweetheart. I really like him. I love
how honest he is with “Hikaru”, even letting her go to be with “Youta” if he
has to. He’s so sweet, the poor guy. Someone needs to love him.
I’m enjoying this series quite a lot. It’s very
mature, but it’s also funny, and honest, and I am really liking the characters.
I look forward to the next one.
