Metamo Kiss 3

Honestly, it’s kind of anticlimactic, and it almost feels like the story ended a little early even though several chapters hinted the ending was coming up. The big plot device at the end was kind of a shoujo cliché, but I liked it in the context of this series. I hated Nanao, the female partner, up until the end. She beat up and berated Hanamaru for all she was worth right up until the end, though there were signs that she was beginning to get a crush on him. All the sudden, Hanamaru’s twin brother, the one that Nanao liked in the first place, comes back, and suddenly she’s smitten with him again. Then Hanamaru takes his support away courtesy of the plot device, and of course she’s angry and couldn’t care less, blah blah blah… I didn’t actually like how the two left things between them, but of course they were fated to be lovers forever. There’s a little bit tacked on at the end.
Hm. It’s a cute series without much substance. Kinda middle-of-the-road in that if you like cute girly shoujo series, you’ll probably like this, but others should probably stay clear. I still really like the switching bodies thing, but I’d get into that in any series, so that’s not necessarily a mark of quality for this one.
