We all have some skeletons in our closet and sometimes these things are embarrassing to admit. What happens when your close group of friends start switching bodies? All of your deepest and darkest secrets are revealed and suddenly all of your skeletons come tumbling out of your closet and there is just nothing you can do about it. Well, that is the premise of Kokoro Connect.

One day, Yui and Yoshifumi switch bodies without warning; throwing their daily lives in chaos. Later on, other members of the club start switching bodies as well but no one understands why. As the process begins to happen more frequently, the friends start discovering each other’s dirty little secrets that were not shared before. These secrets are life shattering and personal. All five characters have emotional scars that they did not want to share with others.

Combining supernatural elements, romance, and comedy; this anime features unique elements to create a fantastic and entertaining package. Kokoro Connect is an emotional rollercoaster that will show you what true friendship is all about.
