The story
Ryu Yamada, a second-year student at Suzaku High, embodies the archetype of a school delinquent, marked by tardiness, in-class napping, and poor academic performance. His days are uneventful until a sudden, inexplicable incident causes him to switch bodies with Urara Shiraishi, the school's most brilliant and beautiful student. Ryu now experiences life from Urara's perspective, while Urara navigates his less-than-stellar existence.
This bizarre body-swap reveals a supernatural ability triggered by a kiss, leading Ryu to uncover the existence of other witches within Suzaku High. As he acclimates to his new reality and the peculiar powers at play, Ryu becomes entangled in a quest to identify and understand the seven witches, each possessing unique supernatural gifts. The unfolding mystery and the implications of these powers drive the narrative, with Ryu's ordinary, monotonous life forever altered by this extraordinary discovery.
