I mean it doesnt really matter as long as kogahara is fine with it, if shes a bit nervous about it they can just agree on some rules for akiyoshi on lemons body.
I mean, personally I don’t think they’ll get back together romantically. At the very least I hope not because kogahara absolutely doesn’t deserve to lose.
If they DO get back together then it would give a whole new meaning to the phrase "go fuck yourself".

This plot feels like it's meandering without a direction. The body swapping barely impacted their lives after the first few chapters. There doesn't really seem to be a point of conflict or drama. Mild inconvenience and simple resolutions.

The characters just spend their time thinking about doing something and then doing it without much fanfare. Akiyoshi spends lots of time trying to hide the body swapping from Kogahara, then one chapter he decided to tell her without much of a character shift or change in situation, faces no conflict in doing so, and there aren't any ramifications.

I just don't see the point, I guess. I think it'd be more interesting if Kogahara did have some kind of issue with it. At least then there'd be some conflict to overcome.

I won’t fault you on meandering, but there’s been very clear direction. This is (as stated elsewhere) a light-hearted rom-com, featuring bodyswapping and reasonable human beings. The author decided one day “what would happen in one of the most anime situations imaginable if everyone involved was a mostly-rational, functional adult, with no prolonged overblown miscommunications (besides the one (kinda))?”, and i think they delivered splendidly. I don’t see this lasting more than another two volumes, if that, unless we go horimiya and we just kinda exist in their space until the author decides to stop.

Maybe it’d be more dramatic if it played out like you said, but this isn’t drama. It’s fluff. Its point to be cute and happy.

…yeah i think this is headed towards throuple
Please. Please. I’m so tired. Komi dangling what could have been after shoving manbagi onto temudano was torture, and the less said about the last promising candidate the better. If any author could pull a satisfying throuple plotline, i’d definitely trust this one to give it a shot.

I just want to see everyone cute and happy for once. Is that so wrong? (Harem ends don’t count - i want everyone to be happy with each other, not however-many co-wives who just kinda tolerate that the rest exist. 100 girlfriends mostly does not count to me, but then i didn’t finish it so who knows)

Agreed, harems seem like suffering for everyone except a cardboard MC. All the girls suffer with essentially a neglectful partner that ran off. Poly works much nicer, and might actually work out here considering how positive the Lemon-Kogahara relationship already is (just not romantic yet).

Very good point that this story has had a lot less drama than they could have done! It really is more romance-comedy than romance-drama. Pretty much everyone's been very emotionally mature (except Lemon doing the whole mysterious claim-breakup of cheating by four-timing).

And even that is such a comically absurd lie it ends up being kinda funny instead. Like shit I’d be telling all my buddies about that over drinks “yeah 4 dudes apparently! I know right?!”

I am with Lemon, how did Raika find out about her current weight? what are those "sources"???
If this wasn't a light hearted romcom, I would be concerned.
I have a feeling that Sunao is the weak link. If Raika asked innocently to Sunao, he might not think it's that big of a deal to say how much Lemon('s body) weighs.

Raika baits Sunao into comparing body weights on a scale as a totally normal girl activity (it isn’t, but Sunao doesn’t know that)

or Raika could just have been around to "make sure Sunao doesn't mess up" or "make sure Sunao takes good care of Lemon's body" and then take note of every detail like the obsesive stalker beast she is lol.
