I stayed away from this one for a while because I'm just really, REALLY not interested in gender bender shows. Once again however, I find myself out of things to watch....and this show being firmly in my interest genre otherwise, I decided to give it a shot. I liked the twists and turns in this, and I appreciated that the MC didn't really find himself in any romantic situations. The artwork and animation are both above average, and the MC was properly OP, just how I like them. All in all not bad, just not great either.

I’m a sucker for OP evil MC anime, so there was never a question of whether I’d try this one. Even though gender bender isn’t usually something I look for in an MC, this feels like it’s going to be explored in more depth rather than just being a throwaway fact. The way his mind intertwines with the character he was transformed into could turn out really interesting depending on how it’s handled. Also, the level of art and animation honestly surprised me—it’s much better than I expected from a no-name studio, and overall it was an enjoyable watch.
