Change the World: Kyou kara Satsujinki

Change the world was a manga I read after watching a youtube recommendation
The main plot is a suicidal nobody gets his body switched to a really successfull detective who has a dark past
The best part of the entire manga is its clean art .The art is really clean and each panel just really pops out
Pretty much everything else about this manga is only above average.
The story's not that unique and same can be said about the characters.The only character I liked was cockroach or kokoro idk
I enjoyed some of the dark comedy but after I found out about the true identity of the detective ,I really lost interest and I felt really empty even after the manga ended

Plot:
Yuichi is miserable. He has no proper job, friends, partner or ambition of any kind. Everyone is constantly disappointed in him. Fed up with this world, he decides to kill himself. He goes to what seems to be an abandoned mansion to hang himself, when he notices a gun on the floor. He picks it up when he realizes that somebody - a man - appeared, also holding a gun - and pointing it at him. Both confused, they shoot at each other. In this moment, the two bullets melted into each other, causing the two men to switch bodies.
When Yuichi wakes up, he can’t believe his luck. He is now handsome, an elite detective who is popular with women, has a lot of money…his luck finally changed. Or so it seems…


This Manga…is a lot of fun. I don’t want to give away too much of the plot (although you can guess it by the title) Don’t get me wrong, there’s a lot of violence, blood and graphic scenes (not the worst I’ve seen but just putting it out there) and it deals with a lot of sombre subjects such as depression, suicide, loneliness etc., but manages to make these things, well, kind of fun, or enjoyable to read, at least. That’s what I really like about it. It shows how absurd human beings can sometimes be, even when faced with a death threat or unusually dangerous situations. The art is also beautiful.

In a sense, this story is about finding yourself, finding meaning in your own existence. If you like entertaining stories about such topics, I’d really recommend this manga. Yes, it might not be the most original story, but the execution is just so entertaining and highly enjoyable.

Currently, there are three volumes out, the fourth coming out in a week. So far, I don’t think they have been translated into English. Which is probably why nobody has reviewed this so far (I hope it’s just because of that and not because people don’t like it…)

So if you know Japanese, you can get it at Bookwalker or simply buy the physical copies.
