However, when Birdy accidentally killed Tsutomu while trying to apprehend a famous criminal on Earth, Geega, both of their lives changed forever! Now, while Tsutomu's body is reconstructed in a faraway place, the two must share the same body – Tsutomu controlling it by day, and Birdy taking over when she spots a criminal in need of tough justice.

add recIn addition to the minor similarity in plot (otherworldly police person ready to apprehend space criminals? check!), both titles are just remarkably similar in tone. Each is a sci fi/action story but with a good dose of humor and plain old fun. It could be a gut feeling, but if you liked one try out the other.
