This is just my perspective, but I really enjoy the way the author shifts between different points in time (reading through the rest of their titles on here, they seem to do this a lot). I don’t see it a lot in manga, but I do see it a lot in other modes of writing, like short stories. I recently read through a bunch of Alice Munro’s short stories (totally different in every way from these stories) and she does a masterful job of weaving together a story from different points in time. Reading this manga, it felt like reading a short story by Munro. It is a higher level of complexity in writing that, unfortunately, you just don’t see a lot in manga.
I don’t remember the title of this novel I read, it might also have a manga. Basically the female mc is ignored and abused by her father and brothers her whole life, I think she worked as a maid in the castle they lived in? Then one day she dies and goes back in time to when she was a child. She distances herself from them and they try to get closer to her and feel really bad when they learn how they treated her in her past life. I think she becomes an elementalist wizard when she gets older in the new life and fights in battles? I remember the finished novel was broken into 4-5 volumes you could read online.
Anyone remember that yaoi manga where a guy goes out with a girl (who’s actually a guy) but doesn’t know it until they have sex and it’s revealed that he’s actually a guy? And he decides to go out with him anyway? I’m pretty sure they went out on dates for a while before he realized he wasn’t a girl.
So does that mean that little boy doesn’t even call the twins by their names…? Stuck up brat!
