Ryu Yamada is a second year student at Suzaku High. Ryu is always late for school, naps in class and gets abysmal grades. His life is a dead bore. The beautiful Urara Shiraishi, on the other hand, is Suzaku High’s brightest student. One day, without explanation, their bodies are swapped! Ryu ends up in Urara’s body, and Urara in Ryu’s.
A big and important announcement regarding Yamada-kun to 7-nin no Majo will be revealed in the next issue of Weekly Shonen Magazine. The issue will release in Japan on January 25.
