* SeasonalRot: It suddenly got lots of ecchi and more which was completely unrelated to the plot and unnecessary. Thankfully it managed to get better again a few chapters after that again.

* HarsherInHindsight: A few of the extras in tankoubons have Oshimi explain the inspiration for this story was born from his struggles with masculinity, his desire to learn more about the "other half" of the world despite feeling [[MarsAndVenusGenderContrast they're too different]], and a long-held need to become a girl despite that. ''Okaeri Alice'', one of his later manga, explores that theme in more excruciating detail.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The earlier chapters focus on Isao's GenderBenderAngst and general existential dread at his situation. [[spoiler:The revelation that this "Isao" is just Mari's split personality]] effectively renders all of it irrelevant and unresolved.

Multiple Personality Disorder is an obsolete name for the condition.


* EpilepticTrees: Many, if not most, of the fandom is under the impression it's not truly a bodyswap manga: Mari just has psychological issues, most likely Multiple Personality Disorder. The common consensus was that it was brought on by ParentalIncest, though after the reveal [[spoiler:that Mari's mom was abusive to Mari in the past]] fans began considering that the trigger. Considering the mangaka's other works the theory isn't too outlandish. [[spoiler:Later confirmed]].

* BrokenBase: Whether the ending was fitting and made sense for the story, or was a rushed copout seems to be a source of contention among fans. [[spoiler: The fact that after everything, [[DidNotGetTheGirl Mari and Yori didn't ultimately end up together]] seems to be a particular sore spot for the ending's detractors.]]

* AbusiveParents:
** Or at least [[ParentalNeglect negectful.]] Mari's parents at first seem, well, like [[ParentsAsPeople parents]], but it soon becomes clear that Mari's mother is dismissive of Mari's wants or needs and either treats her as a trophy, a possession or a burden depending upon how broken Mari happens to be at the moment.
** As for Mari's father, he's usually at work, and seems to be actively avoiding dealing with any turmoil at home. Neglectful is the best way you could possibly describe him.



* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: Is Isao in Mari, or is Mari just suffering from a Personality Disorder? Nothing in the setup or early story line definitively contradicts either interpretation, though the later events [[spoiler: after the girls learn that Mari was stalking Isao just as much as he was stalking her]] tend to support the former.

** Or at least [[ParentalNeglect negectful.]] Mari's parents at first seem, well, like parents, but the first point that seems odd is when a boy comes over to see Mari. Despite 'Mari' clearly being uncomfortable in his presence, her mother simply shoos them upstairs, either oblivious or uncaring for her feelings in the matter. Where this gets abusive is her possibly psychologically hurting Fumiko by changing her name, and, more recently, when Mari is in a coma, coming to the conclusion that Mari is simply faking a coma, despite her having soiled herself, and nearly hits her, were it not for the doorbell ringing. Shortly after, when she heard Yori talk to Komori/Mari in an attempt to snap him/her out, despite her going as far as to say she loves Mari, she somehow thinks Yori is playing some kind of game to disrespect her, and orders her to leave and never return.
** As for Mari's father, he's usually at work, and normally would be exempt from being considered neglectful or abusive, but when Mari is in a coma he seems to be actively avoiding answering Mari's mother on when he'll actually help with the situation, and quickly hangs up, coming off as a bit neglectful and uncaring.
