Wait wtf? The flashback skipped over how the magic body swap started?

HOW:clap:DOES:clap:MAGIC:clap:ENTER:clap:THE:clap:STORY
Suspend your disbelief dude. Not everything needs to be explained in detail. Sometimes shit in stories just happens for narrative purposes. In this case it was so that Sunao could see what Lemon’s interpersonal relationships were like first hand, which broke down the false narrative he built around her actions. It was the spark that kicked off the plot, without it there is no story.

This is a character focused romance and at this point trying to “explain” body swapping would be derailing the entire narrative for no reason.
Near the end of Chapter 1 there was a shooting star that they both saw separately. Sunao thought "I forgot to make a wish..." while Lemon was looking up out her window at it with her hands folded as if in prayer. She probably wished that she could get closer to him and repair both of their damages.

I completely agree. The whole "I was rejected by my party" genre that swallowed up all of isekai is victim fantasy through and through. People just love fantasizing about being hurt for some reason, maybe because it feels simpler to have an external cause for all your problems, saves you from uncomfortable introspection. Huge numbers of people got into this manga with that mindset (the author didn't help by baiting them with the three-timing) and now they're upset their fantasy is shattered.
You are full of bs. As an actual adult, i would not continue to be friendly or be pleasing towards someone who offended me like this. Its not even about my feelings but about her maturity and show of respect towards me.

She literally broke with him saying she was cheating with 3 guys, basically confirming the rumors. ( other peoples opinions and your reputation matters who says otherwise are just being deceptive or untrue)

I had some drama in my previous relationship, it doesnt mean i have to act friendly towards my offender. I can forgive it doesnt mean i will continue my communication. Do not mistake forgiveness for acceptance.

I forgave many people in my life but i did not accept them back. I'm not desperate enough to accept people who offended me.

Nor am i an utter trash to try to squeeze myself back to a person i offended.( I mean serious offense) I can say sorry but i will not not try to be in their life once again.

If i offended someone likely it was because i didnt respect them enough or didnt appreciate them enough, so why the heck should i stress them with my presence?

In short only doormats or abusers would agree with you. Most who have some self respect would not.

Yeah, nothing says self-respect like an adult holding a grudge from middle school.

What part of forgiveness and acceptance you did not understand?
There is major difference. Forgiveness is act of letting it go and stopping it from influencing your life.
Acceptance is accepting back someone (+ in majority of cases forgiving though not always).

Nobody said that you must accept people back in your life.
Her offence wasn't a light one and author didn't completely redcon the first chapters her offence made a lasting impact.
Just having that person near you will give you flashbacks of those times.

Maturity is to understand that sometimes even if you forgave is much better to let go. Time heals most of the time, but having the offender near you will be a constant reminder of that offence.
And sometimes it's just a stance. People come and go in your life. Sometimes someone who offended you needs to understand that disrespecting someone might lead to losing them for life. (I had friends with whom i decided not to make DEALS (monetary) EVER AGAIN but i communicate with them. On the other hand i also had friends who i forgave and remember our falling out as a humorous one but i will never be friends with them).

As our law system has consequences so does "social" interactions have laws but those laws are just more liquid and personal.

Lastly grudge from middle school, it strongly depends on the magnitude of offense rather than age or grade. I've actually "ACCEPTED" back people who offended me around middle school age only to reaffirm that the source of offense was disrespect which didn't change much, they only became more mature but the root cause of offense was still there. With "maturity" their initial root cause simply became more subtle. I still can talk with them and will greet them but meeting together or drinking together? No. I respect my time and respect myself enough to hang out with people with whom i have mutual understanding.
