Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches
Tweekums6 July 2015
Warning: Spoilers
Ryu Yamada is a high school student with a reputation as a trouble maker, Urara Shiraishi is the hard working top student in school; and then one day they bump into each other and fall down the stairs... literally changed their lives! When they get up they find they have swapped bodies. It turns out that as they fell they shared an accidental kiss and this triggered a magical power. The deputy head of the student council discovers their power and suggests they reform the school's defunct 'Supernatural Studies Club' to start investigating their power. We soon learn that there are more people with powers in the school. The club expands and searches for the new 'witches. Each of the seven withes has their own distinct power which require a kiss to activate; Urara has the body swapping power, another has the power to make people fall in love with her and another sees a glimpse of the other person's future. Ryo, who is not a witch himself has a different power; he has the power to copy the power of the person he kisses. As the story progresses we learn that there is a danger to identifying all of the witches but also a tremendous power; anybody who can assemble the seven will be granted any wish.

This is a fun series with lots of laughs and an interesting story. One might expect the body-swapping to lead to plenty of fan service as people find themselves in the bodies of the opposite gender; thankfully this is dealt with fairly early on and even then it isn't overly sleazy. At only twelve episodes the story isn't dragged out and we learn the identities and skills of the various witches fairly quickly. It doesn't mean things are rushed either; enough time is spent introducing each of the characters. The characters are all well designed and distinctive and the animation is pretty good too. At the end the story is wrapped up nicely in a way that I'm sure will satisfy most viewers. Overall this series was good fun, and quite a bit better than I'd expected.

These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.

A very funny witchy anime!
Irishchatter6 April 2018
Warning: Spoilers
I have to say, I highly enjoyed this anime because it was just so darn clever and made you brawl your eyes out with laughter, especially with Ryu Yamada as the natural bad boy involved all of this! I love the fact in the beginning, they all switched bodies by just a single kiss from each other. The reactions were literally so funny and it would be really handy to swap bodies with someone who you think are better then you at stuff haha! I would love to have that opportunity if only it exists lol! I really loved how Ryu first reacted with Uraras body, especially with his over the top personality, he really would make your jaws hurt like I highly would recommend this anime if you're feeling down in the dumps!

I thought Ryu and Urara were just so cute, I really wouldn't have cared if he was a slacker and she was a hardworker, they both really were well matched! I was even so glad they admitted love for each other in the end and of course they didnt have the spell again to switch bodies this time!

8/10 I give this anime!

Happy Witch
Nonomemes24 June 2022
Let's put on a side the imperfections of this series and focus on the final result: This is a nice rom-com with a grain of fantasy, the 2 Japanese characters are this time the protagonists: Yamada and Shiraishi - although she is blond (Ah you can understand this joke only by watching - no spoiler here).

All the characters are good, Miyami is awesome, she looks like a real person.

All the messages are good, the last episodes are in steep escalation, so that you will be clinging on the seats.

Fan service is present yes but it is soft kind, assuming you are reading in 2022 anyway not worse than what you can find on public social networks.

Read the manga.
invisibleunicornninja25 December 2019
This is an alright adaptation, but it is nowhere near as good as the original. Most of the humor in this version seems to come from characters overreacting to things, which is funny, but somewhat repetitive. Another problem is that so much is cut out of this version. I only watched it to episode 9 and I can tell that there is no way that this show would be able to even come close to finishing the original story. Even with what did get adapted so much is cut out and a lot of the characters end up feeling bit shallow.

Overall I guess you could watch this, but the original story is so much better.

Excellent, but We Need More
mjdavis-049065 July 2015
This was an excellent show that I would recommend to anyone searching for their next anime to watch if you haven't seen it already. The very first episode makes you want to watch more and more. I was so hooked on it that I finished the series in one night. I also believe that this anime must be renewed for a second season. Supporting this is the basic fact that it is true to the manga series which is ongoing and continues a story that takes place after the events of the anime. I believe that many fans such as myself would enjoy seeing the ongoing story held within the manga come to life in a second season of the anime. In short, this was an excellent anime, but we need more episodes!

winterfoxweeb6 May 2021
I'm sorry but I came for the show for the romance and Todd Haberkorn I love his voice and I wish i could be as successful as him or meet him dream come true. The anime however funny but couldn't finish it. It wasn't what I thought it was but it was still good I just saw a spoiler and it ruined the whole thing for me but I'm gonna rewatch because it is pretty good so I'll try it is still a 6 level anime though. 👌🏾

Needs more love

Attending the private school Suzaku High Ryu Yamada is a student completely bored with his surroundings. One day while following the honor student Urara Shiraishi up the stairs falls down on her waking up to have switched bodies by accidentally kissing.

I watched this in one whole night and I really enjoyed this. I would definitely say its very underrated and probably needs another season. Not mention it has really good characters and top tier anime waifus.
