Remember your first love? The one who crushed your heart so completely you swore off romance forever? For Sunao Akiyoshi, that person was Lemon Nishikawa, a junior high memory he desperately tried to bury after her betrayal. Years later, at university, Sunao finally feels ready to dip his toes back into the dating pool, all thanks to the wonderfully sweet and grounded Natsumi Kogahara from his film club.

But just as he's about to make his move, fate, in its infinite cruelty (or comedic genius!), throws a giant lemon-shaped wrench into his plans. A chance encounter with the very ex he swore to forget, a shooting star, and BAM! Sunao wakes up... in Lemon's body! Yes, you read that right. He’s now living the ultimate awkward nightmare, forced to navigate the world from inside the skin of the girl who broke his heart.

And the universe isn't done messing with him yet! Not only is Sunao stuck figuring out how to get back into his own body, but his crush, Natsumi, is Lemon's roommate!

Every day is a tightrope walk of hilarious misunderstandings and unexpected revelations.

Can Sunao untangle this body-swapping mess, mend his past, survive his present, and maybe, just maybe, find true love without losing himself entirely?
