Yamada-kun to 7-nin no Majo

Yamada-kun to 7-nin no Majo, commonly known in English as Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches, is a romantic comedy manga series written and illustrated by Miki Yoshikawa. It began serialization in Kodansha's Weekly Shōnen Magazine in 2012, serving as a significant follow-up to Yoshikawa's previous work, Yankee-kun to Megane-chan. The story centers on a delinquent student named Ryu Yamada who discovers the ability to swap bodies with others through kissing, a mechanic that serves as the catalyst for a narrative involving secret witch identities and school-based mysteries.

Yoshikawa designed the series with a focus on high-energy ensemble comedy and supernatural intrigue, building upon her established reputation for blending slapstick humor with heartfelt character dynamics. The series was well-received for its fast-paced plot and distinctive character designs, eventually spanning 28 collected volumes. Its success led to a live-action television adaptation in 2013 and a subsequent anime series in 2015, solidifying its place within the contemporary shonen manga landscape.
