Synopsis
Identical twins switch lives until tragedy forces one to permanently assume her sister's identity.
Identical twin sisters Nobara and Kotori couldn't be more different—one is a mischievous troublemaker, the other a model student. Though they live apart after their father's death, they still find ways to secretly switch places, sharing each other's lives as only twins can. But when a shocking tragedy strikes during one of their routine swaps, Nobara is left facing an impossible choice that will change everything. To protect the fragile bonds of family and atone for her deepest regret, she must take on her sister's identity and live a lie that grows more complex with each passing day. (Source: M-U)
