“Switch Girl!” centers around High School girl Tamiya Nika who leads a bit of a double life - at home, she’s a sweat-shirt, glasses wearing girl that almost no one at her high school knows. But when she goes out she “switches” to a fashionable persona of an ultra-cool and stylish girl. A boy named Kamiyama Arata moves into her apartment complex and discovers Tamiya’s secret.
“Switch Girl!” will begin airing on satellite channel Fuji TV 2 December 24th. The show will star Nishiuchi Mariya (model, Seventeen) as Tamiya, and Kiriyama Ren (Kamen Rider) as Kamiyama.
The original manga was started in 2006, and published in Margaret (Shueisha). It has sold over 5 million copies of the 17 compiled book volumes. The manga is translated and published in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Korea, Thailand, Germany, Italy, and France. In France “Switch Girl!” was the #1 shoujo manga in 2011.
Nana Mizuki is finishing the year strong – her second compilation album “MUSEUM II” was just released last week, landing #3 on the Oricon weekly album charts with over 80,000 copies sold.
