Story
Shiraishi Urara and Yamada Ryu are kissing in the backyard of Suzaku High School as sunshine streams through the trees. However, this scene is anything but pure and romantic. It is connected to an incident … … Although Yamada was a delinquent in junior high school, he dreamed of a happy school life and qualified for the prestigious private Suzaku High School after studying very hard. But he is a complete misfit in a school where the students are all chilly. Thoroughly dejected, he does not study and his grades plummet. His move up to the next grade is also on the line. One day, Yamada is mocked by his teacher and students around him. In irritation, he climbs the stairs and catches sight of Urara, the school’s best student. While trying to overtake her, he causes her to lose her footing. He throws his arms around her, but they get entangled as they tumble down the stairs and are knocked unconscious. Yamada wakes up in the sickbay and heads to the toilet where he gets shocked by the reflection he sees in the mirror. It is not himself but Urara that looks back at him. On the other hand, Urara is attending a lesson as if nothing had happened. However, Yamada bursts into the classroom, grabs her by the wrist and drags her out. They remain in their host bodies for the moment until school is dismissed, but Yamada soon learns through various events that Urara’s school life is surprisingly harsh. At that time, the president of the school council Yamazaki Haruma requests a report on some matter relating to Urara from vice president Miyamura Toranosuke. However, he does not get a positive response. Miyamura, who has noticed that Urara and Yamada have been behaving weirdly, sets a trap … …

He saves his good friend from junior high school days Igarashi Ushio, who has the same sentiments, but is also let down by him and ends up terribly dejected. He does not study and his grades plummet. His move up to the next grade is also on the line. In the midst of this, he switches bodies with Shiraishi Urara and learns of the existence of witches.
