 Coulda been betterJun 06, 2008
By Aiquirion
"Leslie,T"
I gave switch a three star mainly because it seemed to end before it even began.I mean first the story was so lacking in volume at the beginning it was kinda boring, and at another point I was just about up to my knees trying to figure out what just happened when I realized I had read the whole darn thing. Truly I'm sure this manga might be a good find for readers who're into the whole crime and investigating theme, but I wouldn't bet on it. As for me it just didn't hold a candle. The art was good and everything where it oughta be. Perfectly spaced, easy to read; if only the story hadn't of failed I would have rated a bit higher. But what do I know, this is my first time reading a crime themed manga. So it might perk up in Volume 2. I really do hope so cause I wouldn't want to waste my money on a total bust.

 Sad Beginning to a Great StoryFeb 10, 2010
By Veen
The first volume of switch is, honestly, utterly confusing, with all the characters looking the same since the series is based on more realistic factors AKA no guys with anti-gravity hair to identify them by. BUT the first book doesn't do this series justice! Switch is a series with amazing character development that will have you crying, laughing, and gasping and later points in the series. The art is amazing, and gets even better as the story progresses. It is/might be a book that you'll have to read twice to really grasp what's going on, but it gets a lot easier to read as the story goes on. With lots of action for the guys, drama and hints of "likingness" between the handsome male characters for the ladies, this is a series you can't miss and it all starts with this book!
