Gacha Gacha is divided into two separate stories, with the second set a few years after the first.
Volume 1-5
Kohei Nanjou ( 南 場 コ ウ ヘ イ , Nanjō Kōhei ) and Clara Hanazono ( 花園 ク ラ ラ , Hanazono Kurara ) have been classmates since elementary school. After a fateful trip to Hawaii, Clara suddenly develops multiple personalities. These personalities each appear without warning and have a wide variety of characters. The first thing Kohei gets to do with is the sexy Alisa, who repeatedly maneuvers him into embarrassing situations with her shameless advances. Most of the time Alisa disappears in precisely such situations and Clara, who doesn't remember anything, soon looks at Kohei as a perverted lecher. As the story progresses, other personalities appear in Alisa. These include a naive school girl, a martial arts expert and a cat. Clara, who knows about her "illness" but initially keeps it a secret, confides in Kohei when he helps her in return. So she says that she tested a prototype for a new game. In this game, called Gacha2, the mind is fed into a virtual environment through a helmet. Due to a bug, some characters from this virtual environment were copied in Clara. From now on Kohei tries to keep Clara's various personalities under control. At the same time they are looking for a way to get rid of them. As the story progresses, they discover their affection for one another.
Volume 6-16
Akira Hatsushiba ( 初 芝 晃 ) is secretly in love with the beautiful Yurika Sakuraba ( 桜 庭 ユ リ カ ). But he doesn't seem to notice this at all. After an accident in the Gacha2 machine, Akira turns into a girl. He finds that every time he sneezes, he can switch back and forth between his boy and girl body. As a girl he befriends his great love and gets closer to her. Akira tries to spend as much time as possible with Yurika and learn more about women. Among other things, Yurika takes him to buy a bra for him. In doing so, he repeatedly gets into moral conflict with himself. Because Yurika, who has no idea that her friend is actually a boy, has of course no shame to change in front of him. But Akira hopes to get a chance to get closer to Yurika as a boy.

In Japan, the series was completed in October 2007 in Kodanshas Magazin Magazine Special, a special series of Shōnen Magazine . The first story, however, was published in the regular Shōnen Magazine. The chapters were summarized in 16 anthologies by December 2007.
The German edition of Gacha Gacha was published by Heyne Manga from June 2006 to March 2008. A total of 10 edited volumes were published. Heyne then stopped the publication due to insufficient sales figures. The series is therefore not finished in German.
