Description
A romantic comedy with a distinctly Japanese flavor. Next-door neighbors Chiro and Ritsu have been best friends since childhood. Ritsu, the eldest son of a family of traditional nichibu dancers, is thrust into the public eye as his career takes off, and his growing fame begins to test the pair’s friendship. And now the twist: when a wish made at a shrine actually comes true, Chiro and Ritsu find themselves inhabiting each others’ bodies. A further complication arises because Ritsu is not just a dancer, he is a famous onnagata, or female impersonator, popularly known as the “Courtesan Prince.”

Body-switching Couples
Body swap has already been very popular in manga world, way before the release of anime blockbuster Your Name. It's not only painfully hilarious to watch the couples struggle with dilemmatic situations, but switches accomplished either by technology or a supernatural force like ones in these manga also contain underlying messages of expanded world views, appreciation for the other, and mutual empathy needed for the switch to reverse.
