Switched is a 2018 Japanese-language web television series starring Miu Tomita, Kaya Kiyohara, Daiki Shigeoka and Tomohiro Kamiyama, based on the 2014–15 manga series Sora wo Kakeru Yodaka by Shiki Kawabata.[1] The series was directed by Hiroaki Matsuyama.

It was ordered direct-to-series, and the first full season premiered on Netflix streaming on August 1, 2018.

Premise

The plot in Switched revolves around how depressed high-school student Zenko Umine (Miu Tomita) commits suicide, with fellow student Ayumi (Kaya Kiyohara) seeing her fall from the school roof top to her death and then passes out herself. When Ayumi wakes up, she finds herself in Umine's body, while Umine is in Ayumi's body. The story follows the twists and turns of the character Umine and the reasons why she committed suicide, while social anxiety and depression are underlying themes throughout the series.[1][2][3][4]
