It's a cute read with likeable characters I'm actively rooting for. It does jump around a lot which makes the story feel as if they're telling instead of showing. I do plan o. Reading volume 2 as I'm invested in their relationship.

Which side would you want to stand on when the line between pure friendship and attraction becomes all too blurry when all the walls that's been caging you up crumbled down?
What a lucky strike! I can't believe I'm reading STRAIGHT straight!! AND LIKE, THEY'RE ALL GEMS! Anyway, I miss BL!! But this one is unbelievably nice too!! Raunchy and really intimate but it's with consent and childhood friends turning into lovers trope, and art style is gorgeous. The storyline is not cringey and not too dramatic!! It's just perfect!! Have you already watched It's a Boy Girl Thing? Not the body switching part, but there definitely a scene there that reminded me when I read this series. Anyway, it's really cute! And their friendship is so adorable.

Koyori Hoshi and Hijiri Akiyama are childhood best friends. One day, after being ditch by her long-time boyfriend who cheated on her, a drunk Koyori ends up sleeping with Hijiri. The latter turns out to be in love with her and confesses his feelings to her. But of course, it’s not easy to develop a romantic relationship with someone who has been your friend your whole life.
If you are looking for a manga with the friends to lovers trope, this one is for you. The author explores the difficulty of a romantic relationship between friends. Here, the characters have known each other since they were babies and have been constants in each other life since then. Koyori and Hijiri are facing complex struggles, being in love with someone for so long and yet not wanting to ruin their friendship. Especially if the relationship doesn’t work out, there is the risk of losing your best friend forever.

This volume was amazing and incredibly well written. Unfortunately as the series progresses it becomes more and more predictable and uninspired. This first volume then stands apart from the rest.
