The manga scene is filled with inventive tropes that stray away from realism and introduce bizarre scenarios many fantasize about experiencing in real life. Body swapping is a beloved fantasy motif that adds an unorthodox spin to romance and comedy manga. From temporary switches to permanent exchanges, finding your mind trapped in an unfamiliar body always leads to unexpected hijinks.
While commonly seen in romantic comedies, body-swapping manga can be surprisingly dramatic and grounded, exploring themes of identity and communication. There's no more effective way to see the world through someone else's eyes than physically swap bodies with them, and these manga series execute this concept best.

Body swaps, first popularized in Western anglophone culture by the personal identity chapter of John Locke's Essay Concerning Human Understanding,[1] have been a common storytelling device in fiction media. Novels such as Vice Versa (1882)[2] and Freaky Friday (1972)[3] have inspired numerous film adaptations and retellings, as well as television series and episodes, many with titles derived from "Freaky Friday". In 2013, Disney Channel held a Freaky Freakend with seven shows that featured body-swapping episodes.[a] This list features exchanges between two beings, and thus excludes similar phenomena of body hopping, spirit possession, transmigration,[5] and avatars, unless the target being's mind is conversely placed in the source's body.[6][7] It also excludes age transformations that are sometimes reviewed or promoted as body swaps, as in the movies Big and 17 Again;[6][8][9] identity/role swaps, typically between clones, look-alikes, or doppelgängers;[10] and characters with multiple personalities.[6]
Some graphic novels and manga series feature stories that center around a body swap, while others have a story arc or a character that body swaps. These include anime and live-action adaptations if the original storyline was in the manga or comic.
