SPOILERS! So I read the original work a while back (the current one is a remake of the original) which only went up to Ch 38 before it got dropped. My memory is a bit hazy but by Ch 38 it’s still not confirmed who will end up with who, but Ouri still likes the childhood friend and Himeri still likes the president (so yea not much progress).
So Himeri (in Ouri’s body) preps for the election by gaining fans and starts live-streaming/posting on instagram and gains a few followers. The childhood friend Ibuki starts getting suspicious/worried of Ouri, grabs him by his wrist and is all like “if there’s something bothering you please talk to me” type shit and then pats his head. Meanwhile Ouri (in Himeri’s body) is in the middle of strange rumours after photos of Himeri hanging with a bunch of different guys gets posted online (the president, Ibuki, and the male council members), using a student council account. So the siblings suspect a stalker since some of Himeri’s pens have also gone missing. Because of this, Himeri (aka Ouri) starts avoiding contact with boys to avoid further rumors. She hides in the washroom and hears girls talking crap. Ouri becomes more aware of Himeri’s struggles (and this is when we find out he hates being the centre of attention and also feels inferior to his sister)
Ouri (in Himeri’s body) eats alone outside to avoid the rumours in the cafeteria when Ibuki calls her to apologize for not paying more attention and being photographed. Ouri is all like “damn he’s so considerate” while Ibuki mentions the photo with the president and asks if Himeri likes him. Ouri freaks out and hangs up. Then the president shows up. They have cute little banter session and then he asks Himeri to come back to the student council. Ouri immediately refuses but thinks about it, before he can give an answer a student council member shows up and says that they discovered the photos were posted using a computer from the library
The student ID used to log in was associated with the brown hair guy from the council (sorry I forgot his name LOL but the guy competing with Himeri for VP) but he claims he would never use an underhanded method to win the election because he would feel like he lost even if he did win the position. The black hair guy with the glasses (also forgot his name but the smart one LOL) mentions that the culprit is hiding their identity so it would be pretty dumb for them use their real ID and so they believe brown hair guy. Since the student council is sorta responsible, the president decides to become a bodyguard for Himeri.
Himeri (still Ouri) and President come out of the same car the next day (he happened to see her and offered to drive her) everyone goes crazy. He also declares he will be protecting Himeri for now. Also this part is really cute because Ouri (in his sister’s body) is angry about having the president as the bodyguard. Ouri thinks of him as a tyrant who uses his face card to deceive people and threatens to expose him, but the president goes “no one would believe u” then asks what Himeri (aka Ouri) thinks of him. We get a flashback and see Ouri’s POV of the president and it shows Ouri didn’t really like him even before the whole switcharoo. Anyway- the president also says that having Himeri by his side would help clear the misunderstandings with the other guys in the photo by proving to everyone the one she really likes is the president only (since she already publicly confessed) and shut down the rumours that she gets around with every guy. He also asks her if there’s perhaps someone in the photos who she likes. Himeri aka Ouri blushes hard (one of the photo is with Ibuki), then says that he doesn’t need a bodyguard and that he can take care of it himself then rushes out. Back home the siblings talk about the election and the president.
So election day is finally here but it’s raining. They switch back to their original bodies. Himeri is discouraged because she believes she doesn’t stand a chance at winning in her original body but then Ouri starts brushing her hair and reminds her that she’s not the type to give up. They have cute sibling bonding moment where Himeri reveals she’s tired of all the work she does that doesn’t result in anything and Ouri reveals he knows how it feels to try and still feel like a failure. Anyway- while the president is buying time for the twins, Ouri tells Himeri he’ll be the one giving the speech.
Just as the president is about to call off the election, the twins showup. Ouri takes the mic but as he’s in front of the crowd he realizes he left the script in the car and completely freezes on stage. He starts to tremble but then Himeri hits him with the snail and takes over the speech (just know the speech was really heartfelt and talks about Himeri’s struggles. I can’t do her justice so just wait for the chapter). Anyway Himeri wins, Ouri gets the general affairs position on the recommendation of the president (because Himeri as Ouri did such a good job at council work) and brown hair guy loses lol (but he’s still in the council since they’re understaffed lmao). So a bunch of Himeri’s friends come to congratulate her including the captain of her fan club (the ones who said they are were bodyguards at the beginning). Fan club captain gives her a pen with the top shaped like Himeri’s head and tells her the club will always be on her side to protect her. it was more of a creepy ahh speech but Himeri thinks it’s a nice gesture. The twins then switch back
When the counsel meeting happens the president takes the pen Himeri got from the captain (and looks at it suspiciously). The twins go home where we find out some lore about the snail and how its true entity is called Amor, the angel/god of love or something and their grandpa is an explorer/adventurer, confirming that they need to break the curse by confessing to their love. There’s a quick scene where all 4 meet (siblings+love interests) and kinda shows Ibuki might lowkey be into Ouri and where the president asks Himeri (aka Ouri) about Ibuki. Anyway- Himeri (aka Ouri) gets a second pen from the fan club captain. Eventually, as Himeri starts connecting the dots between her missing pens and the pens she’s receiving, the president reveals that the pen has a hidden compartment for a GPS while the first pen had a camera in it. Ouri doesn’t want to make a big deal out of the situation believing that his sister would feel hurt if she knew one of her supports was actually a stalker so he announces to the president he’ll be confronting him himself (as Himeri). President and Himeri (aka Ouri) have a cute moment. The president is used to having strange people approach him so he understands how Himeri might feel with the stalker. Also turns out the president stomped on the gift because the girl who gave it to him was sorta like a creep who didnt even go to their school. Back at home Ouri is trying really hard to hide the stalker from Himeri but she knows something is wrong.
Ouri calls the stalker to confront him about the GPS but he denies everything saying he doesn’t know what happened and that they can meet up after he asks the manufacturers about it. Ouri agrees to meet. Also it’s confirmed this dude is the stalker because it then shows his room with a bunch of photos of Himeri. The next morning the president discovers Himeri is planning to meet up with stalker and while they have another bonding moment he gifts her a pin to commemorate joining the student council and tells her to wear it no matter what. At this time Himeri in Ouri’s body is still worried about what Ouri might be hiding
Turns out the stalker became obsessed with Himeri after she remembered his name back in the entrance ceremony (he got no attention from his family or classmates so it was a big deal I guess) and vowed to protect her. When he realizes Himeri isn’t actually Himeri (ever since Ouri took over) he wants to bring back the original and dispel the other her (Ouri). The twins switch to their original bodies because it starts raining. Stalker confesses all of his crimes to the original Himeri (the photos, the missing pens, the GPS/camera) meanwhile Ouri runs back to save her and Ibuki follows. Luckily black hair guy with glasses happens to enter the room and sees Himari is with a lunatic and steps in, giving Ouri enough time to get to Himeri and take out the pepper spray in Himeri’s pocket (he had put it there as Himeri) and spray stalker’s face. As stalker is held down by Ouri, he takes out a knife and slashes Ouri’s arm. But just as things were about to escalate the stalker’s confession is projected through the school speakers. He gives up and the council members come and take him away. Himeri scolds Ouri for not taking better care of himself and not talking to her about the stalker (here we see Ouri is a really selfless guy)
Ouri (the original) goes to the infirmary with Ibuki and they have a cute moment together where he also scolds Ouri to take better care of himself. Then they switch back. Himeri (aka now Ouri) meets with the president. They have a cute moment where the he pats her head and says something about how the more childish a person is the more likely that they’ll take all the responsibilities themselves. Side note I really loved Ouri x President here cuz it felt like he received genuine praise for the first time and that warmed my heart. It’s revealed that the pin given by the president was a microphone recording everything and that he was the one to broadcast it to the whole school. And the last chapter is about Himeri (in Ouri’s body) realizing the wound is actually painful despite him saying it wasn’t and Ibuki who hugs Ouri telling him he should have been more careful (sadly this is Himeri but I’m sure Ouri would have appreciated it) and then she asks Ibuki if he’s obsessed with Ouri because of how overly concern he always acts towards him
ANDDD that’s all! Honestly there was so much more but it was getting too long. In terms of romance, I feel like a lot of it was between Ouri (but in Himeri’s body) and the president - so at times it can feel very Shoujo like which some people have mentioned. BUT lowkey Ibuki the childhood friend does seem really into Ouri so it could go either way- I know they hinted at Ibuki having feelings for Himeri but I don’t really see it so far? Since out of everyone Himeri (in Ouri’s body) seems to have the least romance
