Hiroaki Mitsuyama is producing the series, Michitaka Okada is writing the scripts, and Ken Arai is composing the music.
The series centers on Ayumi Kohinata, a first-year high school student who has a cute and shy personality. She's excited that she just started dating her first boyfriend, but on the day of their first date, she gets a mysterious call from her classmate Zenko Umine. Zenko says she's going to die, and Ayumi witnesses Zenko jumping from a building. The next thing she knows, Ayumi wakes up in a hospital, but in Zenko's body.
Kawabata published the manga in Shueisha's Bessatsu Margaret magazine, and Shueisha published the third and final volume in December 2015.
