Description Misleading. READ THIS FOR TRUE DESCRIPTION!
Kokoro Connect is a series that is a total buy and should definitely be a part of your anime collection. Following the members of the Cultural Research Club, the ties of friendship are put to the ultimate test as secrets become known and viewpoints become jumbled by way of phenomenon such as switching bodies and sharing emotions brought upon by an entity known as Heartseed. Will they be able to overcome the obstacles brought upon them or will their friendship break under the weight of newly revealed feelings and thoughts?
I watched this series already and I can tell you that this is one of the best I've seen in awhile. Consisting of 4 arcs each with their own problem and phenomenon, these 5 friends are truly put to the test of their connection to each other. Every single character gets a full backstory and time to shine and develop all the way throughout. Music all around is done very well, with a separate ending song for every arc giving a feeling of adjoining to the one...
Excellent series... but NOT complete set
We all wear a mask. Everyday we put on our mask as we walk out the door for fear that people will see who we truly are.

In each of 4 arcs, a god causes some sort of phenomenon to occur to the 5 characters that allows--and forces--them to see parts of each other's lives which they would normally keep hidden. For example in the first arc, the god causes the 5 to switch bodies with each other at random times. Thus these five friends, who have...

Taichi, Iori, Himeko, Yoshifumi, and Yui are all completely normal high school students, until one day when they all start switching bodies. The switches can happen at any of day, last different amounts of time, and only occur within their little group. After the initial shock, they start trying to just make it through each day without raising suspicion. Then, as suddenly as it started, it stops. Only something else strange has taken its place...
When I initially heard about this series I wasn't the slightest bit interested. I thought it would be filled with awkward/stupid scenes of guys and girls switching bodies. But while there is the awkwardness of guys ending up in their cute female classmates' bodies, it is reasonably handled and then they move on. The thing about this series is that it isn't about the body switching, it is about how the characters handle the body switching and other strange events that happen. The character behind the strangeness seems to be testing...
