Synopsis
While on their way to school, Taichi and Iori were taken away by Himeko, Yoshifumi and Yui; all three had swapped bodies with another. While missing their morning classes, the group gathers at their club-room to review the body-swapping phenomenon. After the three have returned to their own bodies, the group left their clubroom and reported to their homeroom teachers about their absence; claiming to have sickness from eating bad food. The homeroom teacher of class 1C: Gotō Ryūzen accepts Himeko’s statement without many difficulties and allows Taichi, Iori, and Himeko to leave the room.



During lunchtime; as Taichi and Iori were complimenting Himeko’s lying ability, Taichi switches bodies with Yui as she was eating with her friends in her homeroom: 1A. Taichi {in-Yui’s body} quickly left the classroom and hurriedly tries to find a safe spot to make contact with his friends. Occupying one of the rooms at the girls’ toilet, he uses Yui’s phone and call Himeko to discuss the situation. While Yui {in-Taichi’s body} was panicking in front of Iori and Himeko, he and Yui suddenly returns back to their bodies.

Afterwards, Taichi was at his homeroom: 1C and noticed Iori was speaking with Fujishima. When he arrived at the clubroom, Iori confronted Taichi; asking about did he do with Fujishima while in her body. Later on, the group was interrupted by the presence of their club adviser: Gotō Ryūzen, who had momentarily swap body with another entity called Heartseed. Heartseed {in-Gotō’s body} reveals himself to be the one responsible for the body swapping phenomenon, vaguely explaining the motive was for his own entertainment. Himeko and Yui tries to stop Heartseed as he tries to leave, but was overpowered by his unnatural movement as he manipulate Gotō’s body. After the encounter, the group decided with one another that it will best to not draw unwanted attention from the public.

A week later, Himeko gathers everyone to her room and was furious about the constant mistakes that everyone kept committing: such as accidently entering the other gender’s toilet. When the group was discussing about their lives, Yui ask about Iori’s and she reveals to everyone that her parent were divorced and was living alone with her working mother. On their way home from Himeko’s, Iori suddenly swap bodies with Yoshifumi. While Iori {in-Yoshifumi’s body} and Taichi were waiting for the phenomenon to finish, she talks with Taichi about how the body-soul switching may have an effect on their individuality.



The next day; as Taichi, Himeko and Iori were in their homeroom. The class representative: Fujishima ask for two students to help clean the school grounds. Taichi naturally volunteers, however unfortunately for Himeko, he accepted just as he swaps bodies with her. When Fujishima questions Taichi’s body about his relationship to Iori, Himeko exacts her revenge on Taichi and boldly declares to Fujishima that “Iori is his”; while in Taichi's body.
