I feel like this manga is getting reviewed bombed by certain kinds of people. It's got a pretty solid, if already done premise and the comedic timing is pretty good. By all accounts, this should be gravitating towards the "average" of an 8.0 that most manga on the site will end up within 0.1 or 0.2 points of (usually upwards). That this is nearly 0.4 points below that despite being significantly better than plenty of others sitting at or near 8.0 is baffling.

This frequently happens to any manga prominently featuring a female character that so much as dares not being a pure, pristine cardboard cut out. Any sort of negative complexity (you know, something that actually gives character or texture to someone) in women just draws out the worst from some people here. They're so afraid of women having flaws or making mistakes or doing something wrong. Just look at all the comments here that only focus on hating Lemon (a character who otherwise seems very nice and outgoing and even admits to herself that she made a mistake) and you'll see what I mean.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think this is a 10/10 by any means, but it's WAY better than a 7.66 (which is where it's at at the time of this post). Really only posting because I'm fuming at the thought of how many GOOD manga likely end up buried because some people hate on one character (typically a woman) then bomb the manga's rating to way lower than it should be.

A manga with a mature take on a sensitive topic is getting called trash. Kekw. The whole cucked concept is not the point, the point is to move on from a horrible breakup. The desire to be with the jolly-good and heart-healing girl is going to give the MC a goal of sorts. The regretful (and somewhat braindead) ex is gonna be the main obstacle to that goal, which in my opinion is interesting, especially once it was revealed that she lied about it (in the most nuclear way possible). The body swap scenario will force them to be as interactive as possible, which will let them come to terms with their relationship, and how they plan on moving forward. It's not trash at all, if you look under the surface some intricacies say a lot about what the writer is trying to convey. It's not about the cuck-or-get-cucked, it's about the get-over-it-and-move-on-with-your-life.

These certain kinds of people are known to lack any sense of self-awareness. What's funnier is that these people are probably the same ones complaining about the declining quality of recent mangas.

Majority of manga fans read for escapism. Look at the tag, its shounen not seinen or Josei. This is aimed towards teenage boys. They dont want to read about cuckoldry.

This is pirate ball slop.

I agree with @Phelgming up there, most 8.0 ratings don't deserve them when they're just plain and boring and really nothing new.

when you see the story of one person falls in love with another person and then they date straight away, it ends quickly and that's why the author makes the in between bigger, a time killer basically. sometimes those stories never end, got stuck on an indefinite hiatus or gets cancelled.

it need its own spice to be good and all i can say that this one starts with a bitter one but still enjoyable.

kinda weird start, she was an idiot for lying, but now im more invested in this nigga getting with the other one, he may be an idiot, but he decided to get his shit together, move on, aaand got fucked, will he have his movie date?, i think so, will he get to bone koga?, i hope, will this bonehead blonde try to stop it, it would be good drama, will he end up with the blonde, we cant have nice things, if the author goes the safe way, they will, but it shuldn't, actions have consequences, and what she did is known as a fuck up, there's no taking back the emotional damage the dude suffered, well they were childhood friends, sweetheats, and she goes, I've been in the hills fucking dudes

, and leaves my g, she fucked around, it's time to find out, and its obvious the wish she made is the trigger for this situation, i hope more hilarity ensues, and the dood ends up with the girl that deserves it
