女子高生・田宮仁香は、メイクと服をバッチリと決めた、人気者のカリスマギャルだが、家では自堕落でだらしない生活を送っている。つまり、ONとOFFを自由自在に使い分ける事で快適な日々を送る、所謂スイッチガールだった。この事を知るのは、家族と幼馴染で親友・二ノ原だけ。ところが、ある日同じマンションに引っ越してきた転入生・神山新に、OFFモードがバレてしまう。

Tamiya Nika (田宮仁香) is a beautiful, outgoing, popular high school girl. She has just the right look, just the right fashions, and is everyone’s friend. What everyone at school does not know is how hard Nika works to keep up this perfect image, and what she is REALLY like at home. When not at school, Nika is a scary, sloppy, tight-fisted girl who wears glasses, an ugly sweatsuit, and has her hair pulled back into unattractive buns. She lies around playing video games and reading manga. Her attitude is bossy and cranky, and she travels far out of her way to shop where she won’t be recognized.

Every day, Nika (仁香) “Switches On” with a strict regimen of beautification that involves primping and plucking and careful dressing. The only person who knows about Nika’s Switched On/Off modes is her best friend, who is also aware of the reasons behind the changes.

However, soon a second person finds about about Nika’s personalities - someone who has his own On/Off switch, but in reverse! His name is Kamiyama Arata (神山新), and he is a recent transfer student. He meets Nika (仁香) when she is in OFF Mode, and then again at school when she is ON. However Nika (仁香) can see that he has his little secret. At school, Arata (新) wears thick swirly-eyed glasses and messy hair that make some bullies think he is an otaku. However, at home, he ditches the glasses and is downright gorgeous! He is just the opposite of Nika (仁香) , but why?

I'm currently only reading Vol. 2 but i'm glad i picked it up at the bookstore. It reminds me of 彼氏彼女の事情, butスイッチガール!! is much more funny!!! It's very rare that a shoujo heroine is hilarious!

Who doesn't have a OFF mode? Guess this is the reason why this Manga is so popular, as you read on, you will be able to find some similarties between you and the OFF mode Nika!
