Goodreads Synopsis:
Kohamaru was born into a
family in which you can switch bodies with the person you are destined
to be with. His parents can switch bodies, and oddly enough, his aunt
can switch with a cat When Kohamaru literally runs into Nanao, the girl
of his dreams, they switch bodies--but Kohamaru discovers that she's in
love with someone else. And as if that weren't enough, the someone else
turns out to be Kohamaru's twin brother, Konatsu, who has the power to
reverse their transformation...with his own kiss.
Review:
This series was
honestly a little weak, and not as adorable as I was hoping it would be. It was
good, and the ending was very nice, but I was hoping to enjoy it more.
Kohanamaru and
Nanao switch bodies when they kiss, as soul mates do in Kohanamaru’s family.
This causes a lot of problems for them (although, honestly, I kept wondering
why they didn’t just kiss right after changing when they figured it out. It
literally would have taken one second, and the problem would be solved. Instead
they acted like they had to wait all day to change back or something). And when
Kohanamaru starts losing his memory of Nanao, that causes some heartbreak.
I didn’t really
fall for any of the characters in this series. I liked most of them, but I
didn’t really love any of them. (Also, it really bothered me that Konatsu left
and then came back near the end of the series with completely different hair.
He looked completely different, not like he just got a haircut.)
The humor wasn’t
really on-par for me, either; at least, it wasn’t hilarious, even if there were
some funny moments. But the ending was really nice. I wasn’t sure how it was
going to end, but I liked that it skipped some time. I think that worked really
nicely, having them mature some on their own.
Overall, this was
just an all right series, a little average, but with a satisfying ending.
