(Average+) Bagel Girl

Series in one sentence:
Fat makes your voice low and dopey.

Series in more sentences:

A mistreated,
grubby introvert, down on his luck ever since he suffered a violent high school incident, wakes up one day with a body that's not his.
Now a beautiful young woman, he befriends a girl from the internet who thinks he's
transgender and underwent recent surgery, thus to be in need of some female guidance.

Meanwhile, strange possessions show up at his house and vivid nightmares urge him to find out if there's a deeper meaning to them and his transformation.


I expected a comedy with non-stop perversion, like animes like to do, but this ended up being something completely different.
The easiest route it could've taken was to have the main character go back to his abusive workplace, now looking like a bombshell, and become the star of the joint, but instead, there was a whole murder mystery plot.

I liked it, but the villain was an idiot who turned totally oblivious people into witnesses by barking his guilt at them for no reason, then gave them way too many opportunities to get out of their hostage predicament.
I also didn't think his reason for killing a person was warranted, but well, some people are that petty.

The romance plot with the doctor was something to get excited about, but I'm not seeing how the main character managed to swoon him after all the antics he pulled. He visibly charmed him once or twice over very trivial matters, and every other time the guy looked confused or nervous. Their one date was an absolute shit show, it would've turned off any normal person.
It was also a bit weird this doctor chose to wait around for the real girl to wake up in the hospital. She doesn't know who you are, fool, you established all you know about her through another person.

The whole soul-swapping and haunted ghost element I didn't understand, the series did not explain how it happened or who cast this "spell", and doesn't introduce any other supernatural elements in the story. The characters live in an otherwise normal world, so an explanation would've been nice.
