I'm glad to see this review, because I enjoyed this title but it's not one that I've seen any real talk about (which is understandable since not only is it digital only, up until recently it was only on Manga Plaza). There are some fascinating thoughts about bodies and minds and what makes us us in there, both related to gender and not, and every time I reread, I find something new to consider.
Speaking of gendered differences -
| Quote: | | There's also an implication that it's Shogo's masculine confidence that allows him to forge a career as a fashion model in Hana's body, while Hana's feminine lack of confidence forces her to leave the stereotypically masculine sphere in which Shogo was employed. |
I think it's also interesting to note that Shogo's confidence backfires on him too - there's pushback because the behavior reads as condescending to the women at work. He doesn't really have the experience/social training to put himself forward in a way that a young woman would and it hurts him professionally in ways that he doesn't realize.

Amazon makes this title impossible to find — “white note pad manga” only gets some of the chapters, there’s no “part of series” link on the pages, I have not found a link for volume 3, nor any indication as to how many chapters there are (Amazon lists up to chapter 5).

According to Google Play Books, there are six chapters to purchase (the first one is free). The listing is also a bit odd there because it's there twice: once as $1.99 chapters, once as $1.81 "volumes". But at least they are grouped together as series.

There are six chapters - the last one is listed on Amazon under final chapter/book 6. It's easier to find if you search for the mangaka's name and filter to English titles. The release is kinda terrible as far as metadata and buying format goes but Amazon just actively makes it worse.
