Not anime, manga. I wanted to know if anyone here has read it. It's by Shuzo Oshimi (author of Aku no Hana) and while I thought Aku no Hana was deeply twisted, that story turns out to be tame compared to this.
Its a body-swap story and you at once think "hurhur, I know where this is going" and you're wrong. Very wrong. It goes in every other direction but the obvious and it is one colossal mind f--- from beginning to end (well, to Ch37 which is where I've got after 4 days - the whole story is 80 chapters). It really is incredibly good and extremely dark. Its a deconstruction of the body-swap trope and shows that in reality a body-swap would not result in smexy fun but in a horrific ordeal for all concerned.
Shuzo Oshimi at his finest. Read it.
