A Fangirl and her Favorite Idol die and get brought back to life in each other's bodies. What could go wrong?!?
This manga was so hilarious. Just imagine all the daily stuff you do, now imagine you have to do all this in your fav idols body.... Yeah the author doesn't hold back on this.
I already love both the main characters, they are both very likeable and they both play off each other very well.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time reading this, I had a smile on my face the entire time.

Junko is such a fangirl, that's why all her mangas are about fangirls. I liked this one better than Kiss him not me tho.
Anyway, in this one we have a fan and an artist swapping bodies and tbh I'm excited to see where this goes. Like, it was a god mistake? LOL. Azusa is so fun to read and since she's a simp, she'll not have problems imitating Chika on stage, tho I wanna see his interactions with Azusa's childhood friend cuz he's giving him hopes.
Junko has this dumb and super convenient humor that I like. And, well, we have moments, lols.

I've been wanting to read this for a while, and wasn't sure about it before pre-ordering - I'm really glad I had a chance to read it with Netgalley and Kodansha Comics before release!

So I've never read anything by Junko but I thought this first volume was hilarious, and has a lot of potential to be a fun series! The characters were interesting (our main girl is an ultra fangirl), and while I wish we had a better read on our series' male lead, I'm sure he'll become more interesting as the series gets on.

Overall, a great first volume!

This manga is completely bonkers in all the best ways! Azusa and Chika both die in the first chapter (it's not a spoiler if it's in the back cover blurb, right?) and God is basically like "tee hee, oops, you weren't supposed to die, no big deal, I'll send you back!" But then WHOOPS, they're in each others' bodies! And since Chika is a huge star in a J-Pop group and Azusa is a normal high school girl, this is a big problem! I love the crazy situations they get into even in just this first volume. It was somehow over way too quickly and I'm frantically searching for when volume 2 comes out. I love the art style, and this first volume does a lot of laying the ground work for the rest of the series. With the way volume 1 ends (I won't spoil it for you!) it's certainly set up for even more wacky fun. I'll definitely be reading more of this fun series!

This was a lot of fun, between the mix-ups and the heaven representation, I was laughing so hard!
We have in our hands a freaky friday situation between an idol and his ultimate fan, with a lot of missurderstandigs, this is a promise of a lot of fun just like the other works from the author!

Wow this was fun! Star-crossed is the story about a teenage girl accidentally dying and body-swapping with the idol she stans. I had no idea what this manga was about before reading it but I can honestly say I really liked it. It's funny and the drawings are really cute. Would recommend to any lover of Shoujo, cannot wait for the next volume!

Azusa is an ordinary high school student (of course) at the age of 17 and is one of the craziest and most loyal fans of Chikashi Chida, a member of a popular boy idol group. She would kill for him and jump off a cliff the moment he looked at her ... She was "sick like this."
On the day of the next concert of the band, our girl managed to reach the coveted first row among the audience. Her idol is right in front of her!
But a small accident happens, the spotlights over Chida suddenly collapse. Ours, of course, rushes to save him ... and they both end up with Grandpa God.
Grandpa apologizes to them that they died, that was not the plan, so he brings them back ... but he makes a mistake and exchanges their bodies ...

A classic cliché is everything that happens in this manga, but originality is not sought here anyway. This is something you read simply because it's cute. It's downright "sugary," like most titles in the genre. In fact, there is an anime based on the author's works (Watashi ga Motete Dousunda) and it wasn't bad (the theme is similar), but I think I liked the current manga a lot more. Perfect work for fans in the category 12-15 years. I give it four stars because it was unloading for me.

An idol and his number one fan switch bodies after a freak accident. That is the synopsis...aaand that's basically it. I hoped to like this or at least to be entertained, but it was just meh. Azusa( the fangirl) is OBSESSED with the idol guy, Chikashi. And it's annoying honestly. There were a couple of funny scenes of them being in each other's bodies and acting weird, those were genuinely fun. But I wasn't interested in the romance at all. Really, what kind of romantic relationship can there be between a star and his way to obsessive fan? Sadly, this one didn't work for me and I won't be continuing with the series.
Thank you to Netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Honestly, I did not even have a slight clue what this was about before picking it up. However, I really enjoyed JUNKO's Kiss Him, Not Me, and I could not pass up reading this.

So this follows a guy that is in a pop idol group and, basically, his biggest fan. There is an accident at one of his concerts and while she tries to save him, they both end up dying. Then they're brought back to life. But in the wrong bodies!

From there wackiness ensues. So far it is a little bit silly, but I'm really enjoying myself and I definitely need to continue on in the series!

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for providing the E-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

4.5 stars

A humorous pretense with high school girls, pop idols and the shenanigans that ensue when they randomly change bodies. Seems like it could develop into a fun series given time. I would definitely like to read more.

I already knew Junko from previous manga so nothing in this was very surprising, in my opinion - it all fits Junko’s stuff quite well, and even has some BL in the middle. The art is very pretty, as expected, and I absolutely love the main boy.

The story is about Azusa Asahina, a girl obsessed with the idol group P4U, and one of its members, Chikashi Chida. One day, during a concert, she tries to rescue him from falling stage lights and they both end up dead. It’s treated very lightly, in a funny way, and they get sent back because their death was apparently a mistake lol but when they’re back to their bodies, they’ve been switched. So now Azusa has to deal with pretending to be an idol while fangirling over being in her idol’s body, while Chikashi suffers with stress.

It’s very light and so far I haven’t really seen any depth to the characters, but I am interested in Chikashi and his P4U idol group; I really want to get to know them better, and I hope in future volumes Azusa chills a bit and gets to go through some character development too. The only thing that really bothered me - besides Azusa’s over the top personality - was the way some scenes were treated, as if making a joke out of (the possibility of) sexual harassment.

Anyway, it’s fun and I want to read more.

This manga has a potential. It was really funny and enjoyable. I hope the story will get better in the next volume.

A utterly hilarious body switching story. Azusa is a hardcore fan of Chika, who is a popular star in a idol group. During one of their concerts the lights fall and she tries to save him, unfortunately they both die..... until God gives them a second chance as they weren’t suppose to die and sends them back. The problem? He sent their souls back into each other’s body. Now Azusa and Chika have to find a way to navigate this and keep it a secret. So ensues a bunch of funny incidences and moments. It’s a great start to the series and I can’t wait to see where it goes next!

*Thanks Netgalley and Kodansha Comics for sending me an arc in exchange for an honest review*
