4.12 AVERAGE


When I began this series I didn’t think it would become a favorite because it’s not a genre I particularly enjoy. But I went with it, and as I came to know the characters and the story I fell in love. This is a wonderful story with a fantastic concept. A new favorite.

Out of all the shoujo series to be read this has been one of the ones I've been the most interested in as of late. Maybe it is the nice feel of having the guy fall for the best friend character instead of the exotic beauty. And then the added enjoyment of that exotic beauty not being a girl. It also did the emotional impact wonderfully so I'm quite happy with how it all went.

Overall, I really enjoyed this earlier work from the author of [b:Yona of the Dawn, Vol. 1|27406734|Yona of the Dawn, Vol. 1|Mizuho Kusanagi|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1469276222s/27406734.jpg|13363389], which is one of my current favorite manga series. This work is more of a romantic comedy at first, but later on it becomes more serious. The main character is Keidai, a teenage boy who has the memories of his past life as Sirix, a warrior of Pompeii. The only problem is that no one else seems to remember their past lives. His male best friend from Pompeii is now his female best friend, Mii, and his beloved wife from Pompeii, Serena, is now the boy next door, Yuuma. Romantic comedy hijinx ensue as Keidai tries to sort out his own vs. Sirix's feelings. It's kind of a silly concept, but I still got attached to the characters and loved how the author fleshed out the story of the characters in both the past and present.
