Synopsis
Switched (宇宙を駆けるよだか, 2018) — watch online on iFILM, a Japanese supernatural drama directed by Matsuyama Hiroaki, adapted from the manga of the same name. Six episodes about envy, identity, and what happens when resentment finds a way to act.
Ayumi is everything her classmates want to be: popular, pretty, with the right boyfriend and the right spot in the school's social order. Zenko watches from the edge, unnoticed and seething. Then Zenko ends up in Ayumi's body — and sees no reason to switch back. Ayumi, trapped in a body no one recognises as hers, has to convince people of something that sounds impossible.
The show doesn't let Zenko off easy, but it doesn't reduce her to a pure villain either — and that ambiguity is what makes it uncomfortable in the right way. Stream Switched (2018) online on iFILM.
