Synopsis
Cynical boy body-swaps with idol girl, returns to nightmare, hunts truth about identity and dark secrets.
Hiroki Kamiya has always harbored a cynical view that women have it easier in life, especially compared to his seemingly carefree sister Yui who spends her days gaming. One evening, after updating his personal "Observation Diary," Hiroki receives a cryptic message claiming to reveal a method for experiencing life as a girl. Initially dismissing it as spam, curiosity eventually gets the better of him. Following the mysterious instructions, Hiroki discovers a bizarre ritual that allows people to temporarily swap bodies with complete strangers. When he tries it for just two hours, he expects nothing more than a brief glimpse into another life. However, upon returning to his own body, he finds himself in a nightmare situation that shatters his perception of reality. Now trapped in a web of unanswered questions and desperate for the truth, Hiroki's only clue is the identity of the girl whose body he briefly inhabited - Mikuni Mikuriya, a popular idol. As he delves deeper into this mystery, he'll uncover dark secrets that challenge everything he thought he knew about identity, justice, and the people closest to him.
Hiroki Kamiya believes that women have it easy. Every day his sister Yui lazes about, playing games and doing absolutely nothing. One night, after Hiroki updates his "Observation Diary," he receives a mysterious message telling him how to become a girl. He dismisses it at first as a scam; however, after an argument with his sister, he follows the instructions to experience the carefree life of a girl. The method allows a person to swap bodies with a stranger—letting someone enter your body while you enter another's. After spending two hours in a girl's body, Hiroki returns to his own but is met with a shocking sight—Yui's bloody corpse in his arms and a knife clenched in his hands. Who entered his body while he was gone, and why did they murder his sister? Hiroki's first lead is the girl whose body he entered: Mikuni Mikuriya, a famous idol. Desperate for answers, he will do whatever it takes to bring justice to his sister's murderer.
