ぼくは麻理のなか [Boku wa Mari no Naka / Inside Mari]

Shūzō Oshimi’s Inside Mari is a haunting psychological thriller that ran from 2012 to 2016 under Futabasha, exploring identity and obsession through a bizarre body-swap premise. When a lonely young man wakes up in the body of a popular high school girl, he must navigate her life while grappling with the mystery of where she has gone—and what his own true self really is. Oshimi’s tense, introspective storytelling and unsettling art make this a standout in the body-swap genre, delving into the dark spaces between gender, self-perception, and reality.
