WHY IS YUMI AND THE NIGHTMARE PAINTER CURRENTLY IDENTICAL TO A MOVIE I WATCHED LITERALLY TWO DAYS AGO.

Your Name. (yes the period is in the name) is a 2016 film which I won't majorly spoil since it's very good and you should watch it. However in the first third the two main characters periodically switch bodies. One is a shrine maiden from rural japan and the other is a boy from tokyo.

Yumi and the Nightmare Painter is a 2023 book which I can't spoil since I haven't read it all yet. However in the first part of the book which I have read, the two main characters periodically switch bodes. One is a holy girl from a medieval planet and the other is a boy from a modernish city. Sound familiar?

I am going insane?

Your Name. spoilers (Seriously go watch it first!!! This is a major part of the plot and will lessen your experience of the movie!)
