The facts
What This Work Is
"The Day After I Switched My Oshi, My Former Oshi Moved In Next Door" is a manga published as a single self-contained story. There is no chapter numbering; it stands alone as one complete piece.
The title itself is the starting point of the story. You change who you support to someone else — and the very next day, your former favorite moves in next door. That situation is where the story begins.
It is published on a video page and confirmed to be presented as manga. This article does not go beyond what official information shows regarding detailed character backgrounds or how the story unfolds.

Plot (No Spoilers)
The protagonist is someone who had been supporting a particular favorite. Then one day, they switch their support to someone else — what this article calls an "oshi change."
The day after that switch, the former favorite moves in next door to the protagonist. In other words, the person they are no longer cheering for suddenly appears right beside their daily life.
That is as far as the title tells us. How the two talk to each other, how the protagonist explains the switch, whether the former favorite even knows about it — the developments beyond that and the ending are for the video itself.

Characters
The story features two people: the protagonist who switched favorites, and the former favorite. The core relationship is "the one who was cheering" and "the one who was cheered for," with a new layer added: they have become neighbors.
Official information does not reveal detailed backgrounds, personalities, or ages. What is known is just two things: the protagonist made the switch, and the former favorite moved in next door.
The fact that the title works on that information alone is a hallmark of this work. The finer details of the characters are filled in through the depiction in the story itself.

Analysis
Highlights
The appeal here lies in how simply the premise is set up. A personal event — switching favorites — and a physical event — someone moving in next door — are connected by the short gap of a single day. It's a setup where the awkwardness and discomfort are easy to imagine without any further explanation.
The other point is the dual nature of the relationship. The two have already ended their fan-and-favorite relationship. But a new one begins — as neighbors, a close relationship that's hard to escape. Having these two relationships sit between the same two people gives weight to every exchange.
As a manga, facial expressions and the use of pauses are also worth watching. The awkwardness on the side of the person who switched, and what the former favorite is thinking. Paying attention not just to the dialogue but to what the artwork conveys can broaden how you see it.
This article does not cover the ending or the final developments. You can enjoy imagining what conversations the setup will produce, then confirm it in the work itself.

Differences From a Novel Version
The materials for this article do not include any opening text from a novel version. Because of that, we cannot state as fact whether a novel version exists, or how it would differ from the manga if it does.
If you want to compare versions, checking the publisher's information is the reliable route. The manga version is published on a video page, and that is the scope this article covers.
Even if another format exists, this article avoids speculating about differences we could not confirm. The points to watch when viewing the manga on its own are, as noted above, the simplicity of the setup and the dual nature of the relationship.

Who It's For
First, it's for anyone drawn in by the title's situation. If the line about a former favorite moving in next door the day after a switch sparks your interest, it's worth seeing how that setup is handled.
Next, it's for people who want to read something in one short sitting. It's a single self-contained story with no chapter numbering, so you can view it as a complete work rather than something to follow for future installments.
It also suits those who enjoy stories about the fan-and-favorite relationship. However, official information doesn't make clear whether there's a romance element or which direction the story takes, so if that's what you're hoping for, you'll need to check the work itself.
Conversely, if you prefer a long serialization where you can follow a relationship in depth, the one-shot format may feel like too little.
