Tsuma ga Otto de Otto ga Tsuma de

A manga where a married couple end up with swap bodies and must now live as each other.

What a thoughtful series about married relationships!

While the premise for this manga is extremely common, I was really impressed with how creator Echo Aonami focused on having the couple work through their relationship issues. The husband and wife are both able to “walk a mile” in each others shoes and this leads to open discussions about how they each acted poorly to each other in the past. There’s a lot of literal roleplaying and it’s really comforting to see them come together to support each other and their non-verbal child. There’s also some great comedy with the husband in the wife’s body having to go to the gynecologist. I liked this manga a lot!
