Ohtake Masao's manga "J⇔M" is getting an anime adaptation, and to commemorate the news the mangaka posted up a congratulatory illustration.

From the creator of "Hinamatsuri", "Departing From Tokyo - Bound For A Parallel World" and "Joshi Kousei Joreishi Akane!", the series follows the lives of two people - J, a lone assassin feared as "untouchable" in the underworld and Megumi, a lonely girl who has no place at home or school.

When they meet each other, the most unexpected story begins when they suddenly find themselves switching bodies.

On the anime, Ohtake commented that "Because it's a body-swap story, I think the voice acting will add to the hilarity in a way that can't be achieved in manga. I'm personally looking forward to it."

On the manga, Volume 7 of the series will be out in Japan on March 13th.
