I was pleased to see that the series avoided the “oh I’m in a girl/boy’s body now, I should see what they look like naked” cliche and thought that the hilarious extreme this idea got taken to was much funnier. He honestly doesn’t seem like the kind of person to go into show business, and while Asuza puts on a polished look in front of the world, in Chika’s body her private fangirl emotions almost take over.
Both behind the scenes and in Azusa’s body we see that Chika really is a bit of a stoic guy.
Junko definitely gets that one of the big draws for a good body-swap story isn’t just seeing two characters have to act as each other (which is easier for Azusa than it is for Chika, she can finally put her enormous amount of fangirl knowledge to use!) but also how it ends up revealing a lot about the character’s true selves. Creator Junko’s previous work, Kiss Him Not Me, wasn’t up my alley so I was genuinely surprised by how much I enjoyed the humor here and might have to give KHNM a second look as a result. Star⇄Crossed is a fun, body-swap manga with a fun sense of humor and it knows exactly how seriously, or not seriously, to take every situation. Now both of them have to try and live their daily lives, even though they might end up switching places at any moment! As a fan she’d love to get close to him and meet him in person, but what she didn’t have in mind was dying alongside him in an accident at a concert! As they stand before the pearly gates, god tells them that since this was an accident, and neither of them were supposed to die yet, he can give them a second chance at life and they both wake up but now in each other’s bodies!
Azusa Asahina is a huge fan of the boy band Prince 4 U and her favorite member is the distant but dashing Chikashi “Chika” Chida. 1 Kindle & comiXology by Junko (Author, Artist) Format: Kindle Edition 70 ratings Chapter 1 of 4: StarCrossed See all formats and editions Kindle & comiXology £6.99 Read on any device Kindle & comiXology Paperback £8.92 1 Used from £8.64 8 New from £8.
