Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches Vol. 1

Miki Yoshikawa’s “Yamada-Kun And The Seven Witches,” follows the titular character, Yamada-kun, who is a problem child at his school. Most, if not all, the students there feared him, but one day, he discovers he has a supernatural power. This manga follows the events that unfold after he discovers said power. Now, what power is that?Well, Yamada has the ability to trade places with one of his classmates, honor student, Urara Shiraishi, after exchanging a kiss with her. Yep, that seems abut right. Got to love manga. Anyway, you’d think what followed the body switch would be all fanservice-y groping and ecchi (sexual) comedy, and there is a bit, but that’s not all.Yoshikawa-sensei’s world isn’t all fanservice and silly comedy. Surprisingly, she tackled things like bullying and harassment during the body switch. I can’t say I was expecting that. We see how the two of them handle problems for the other, and the fallout from said events. Granted, there are a bit of childish antics happening in the first volume when another student finds out about Yamada and Urara’s power, but since I already saw the anime, I knew it was coming. That said, I heard that a lot of people didn’t like the introduction of the student council member who found out about the switching power. I disagree.Is he my favorite character? No, but that’s mainly due to me not really being a fan of pervy characters. And yes, most adolescents are pervs in some form or fashion, but to rifle through a girl’s underwear and lay in her bed without permission is a too much. Even if it’s only done for comedic effect. I’m not one for cheap comedy like that. Yoshikawa-sensei has created an interesting setting though, and I’m looking forward to continuing this series. I enjoyed the anime, and it’s what led me to buy the first five volumes of this manga. I like the characters, and I’d like to see what else happens down the road with Yamada-kun.If you want to experience some mostly wholesome comedy and possible romance subplots, give Yamada-kun And The Seven Witches a read.

Japanese have a talent to make stories in high schools super interesting! Yamada is a kind of scoundrel student, he cares rather in jokes than studying, some day he has an accident with exemplary student Shiroishi and both exchange bodies. She is almost the opposite of Yamada save both aren't successful in having a good social life. The change turns things upside down. I love how you can differentiate the characters by their mannerisms, I still recall a comic in which is difficult to follow who is who, here is transparent and very funny to see their identities even without reading their words. A very entertaining manga : )

This is an excellent first volume. I have read many mangas in my life and it was nice to see something somewhat original. The story isn't strong, it's mostly focused on two characters and the start of the series, I am excited to see where it goes. The art is wonderful, the characters are decent, I personally like the two main characters a lot, and the plot is just starting if there is one. Definitely check it out, I think there is an anime being aired so I may check that out eventually.

Great series

This book is great but starts off a bit slow.... The cover is a bit misleading, I was expecting it to be more of a eccie/harem book but I still find it to be a great manga so far!

First, in this volume there are no witches, let alone seven of them. Now, I'm guessing they come along later, but for now... there is an absence of witches. As for what is in the book...The main story has to dow with some body swapping. As far as stories like this go, I actually found it pretty entertaining. The main cast is relatively small at this point, so the few cast members that are present are given some time to breathe and grow a little. It helps a lot. The manga-ka takes her time developing things, and revealing what is going on. There is also a heavy focus on comedy. Most of it is effective, and the general tone of the book is pretty up beat and easy. There is some mild fan service in this volume, but most of it is used for comedic effect.The art is attractive and expressive. Not just in the facial features, but in the whole characters' body. This is key to helping keep the reader clued in to who is in whose body. All of the characters are distinct and easy to identify. There are not a ton of backgrounds, or background detail, but for a book that focuses more on characters talking, they aren't really missed.In the end I would recommend Yamada-Kun and the Seven Witches. It's fun, light and so far, pretty inoffensive. Give it a go. Who knows, you might like it.

Its an unusual story but it develops a interesting turns in the seires if u keep reading

I first discovered Yamada-kun when CrunchyRoll added manga to their standard subscription service, and to be honest I only tried it because nothing else looked remotely interesting. I had very low expectations, since the description made it sound like a standard trashy harem. Long story short my first impression was dead wrong, and it's now one of my favorite manga; I've read all 150+ comics, eagerly await the next installment every week, and am happily re-reading it now that it's being published in physical copies.Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches is primarily a comedy, and is a breath of fresh air for someone who doesn't particularly like how manga relationships tend to either be super repressed or illegal (not so into people crushing on their little sisters; and no, a "first cousin raised as my sister" doesn't make it better). It has harem aspects (in that a number of people are attracted to the main character), but despite all the kissing the love story is pretty stably focused on the main character and his love interest. Highly recommended.

great

A história é super divertida e até que é bem elaborada as vezes, considerando que é um manga de romance.A edição em si é muito boa, o papel é grosso e evidência bem o desenho

Excelente manga, tengo años siendo fan de Yoshikawa Miki, su anterior trabajo Yankee-Kun fue muy bueno, lo recomiendo a quienes les gusten las comedias romanticas.

Yamada-kun is a great manga series. Same review for all of them. I'll keep getting them!

Lo ame, es hermoso. ♥️Absolutamente vale la pena :3
