Despite not being a fan of gender-bending stories, I gave this manga a chance due to my interest in bullying stories. It may not be categorized as a coming-of-age kind of story or slice of life, but Hina-chan change is a good representation of what growing up is.
The plot follows high schoolers and childhood friends Hina, who is the victim of harassment by her classmates, and Ren, a closeted gay student, who discovered as kids their ability to switch bodies by touching each other pinkies. At first, Ren used the ability to help Hina due to her shy and withdrawn personality; but after a while, ... he decided to stop after realizing he was only going to injure her.

One day Ren decided to confess his feelings to his friend Makoto, who rejected him for considering it a bad joke. Sooner, after a session of bullying by her female classmates, Hina finds Ren crying for his love not being reciprocated, and she convinces him of changing bodies. After that, Ren went after Makoto and had sex with him using Hina´s body.

The plot onwards revolves around the two childhood friends swapping bodies and doing what they usually cannot do.

The toxicity in the relationship of this manga can be compared to the ones of other well-known stories such as Scum´s wish and School days. By showing how despicable and abusive teenage relationships tend to be, and how impossible it is to fully accept you are not happy due to the innocent belief that things can get better.

There is, yet, a perfect character development during the climax of the story, which shows the growth of the main cast and how their actions helped them to understand they need to change and love themselves by who they are, instead of living in a fantasy or denial.

The drawing is neat, as well as the pacing. But, as I said in other reviews, what I like the most is when the characters resemble the age they are supposed to have instead of having a 17 years old protagonist looking like a 40 years old salaryman.

In conclusion, this manga may not be a gem or a work of art, not even utterly enjoyable, but it is interesting to read if you have free time and want to read something short and somehow catchy.

I think the manga is well written and after few chapters i really fell into the story to get to know what will happen to these character.
The storie is pretty messed up in some ways and you wonder how the characters are gonna get out of this mess. The scituation the two main characters were in was messed up and it was just interesting to watch them ruin everything and then try to fix it XD. The ending was satisfying.

Overall if you are bored and like drama of two childhood friends who have the power to switch bodies then give it a shot!

A shitstain I couldn't stop reading. I don't know why but this manga was difficult to drop and I ending up finishing the entire thing simply to learn what happens in the end. The whole manga is toxic and self-destructive, the main character is a douche, and the rest of the cast are honestly just plain stupid. Toxic romance and self-destructiveness (i don't think that's a word) has been done much better in other manga such as "Scum's wish" or "Aku no hana" which both delve into their characters and stories much deeper. There is an LGBTQ+ aspect to the story which is the only ... reason I'd recommend this manga over the others I mentioned in case you happen to being going through something similar. Other then that this manga is hot garbage and while it satisfied me I would not tell anybody to waste their time reading these 23 chapters.
