it has been years but this remain my fav shoujo manga about reincarnation. only now i am thinking to randomly talk about this
- ever since beginning saeki idolized serena too much
- their romantic interaction in past life feel a bit juliet-romeo-esques, not my cup of tea since it feel less real
- in the past, man-woman interaction are limited so there's a small question to me whether they will still end up together if it's not the past. well it kinda partially proven with serizawa end game
- serena wanted to be a man so she would be able to stand side by side with saeki. if they became lover in this life, well yuuma could still be that, but with saeki's personality, yuuma would be more protected and spoiled as lover rather than someone side by side to him... serizawa was a bit different that saeki used to still see and treat her like his past best bud... although that's why i am bit disappointed that he treated her a bit like serena after they dated, but i am sure serizawa will call him out if he went overboard (this is mostly my headcanon)
- so by that, saeki and serizawa made a good and more interesting combo in shoujo manga. meanwhile saeki and yuuma would make a kinda generic pair in BL manga. yumma (the uke) being the younger bratty tsundere one with overprotective relative and saeki the lover who will kiss the ground he walked on (although honestly it will still be interesting)
- serizawa's past life as his best bud and being reincarnated as a girl made me thinking, did the past life wanted to be a girl and stay by saeki's side as a girl?? tbh i forgot a bit about this story, so was it ever mentioned? but i remember thinking or headcanoning, oh it seemed his past life liked saeki, or something... so tbh this is more BL than saeki no longer care of serena's current gender... bc nevertheless i think saeki actually liked yuuma mostly bc he used to be serena, a girl. compare it to serizawa past life as a man who want to be a girl for saeki ... this one feels more BL.... okay sorry forgive me this is my actual real reason.. anyway go read uragiri wa boku no namae o shiteru...
- saeki moving on from serena is a big character development and it is in line with the message that he have to move on from his past life. sure he could still date yuuma and said it had nothing to do with the past.. but the message would be weaker
A lot of people complaining or wishing that serena reincarnated as a girl but like in the end the point is that they are not the same as their past lifes. Sure their souls are the same but their experiences on this life is what makes them who they are and we saw how serena wished that she could stand and fight along side him as her last wish and her wish was fulfilled. I want to think their relationship transcended just romantic feelings. The only people that had their memories were the ones that had regrets about their past life and to me it was clear that the reason why yuuma and serizawa did not is because they did not care about anything else but just being together with everyone and especially sirix. It did not matter to them to keep their memories as long as they were all together. Anyways loved this manga it was so good and i loved the ending too because keidai was finally released from his regrets and can finally appreciate whats infront of him, which is all of them alive and well together, even as different people.
I see where the ML is coming from like for the most of their lives so far, selena has been his the love of his life so being careful and lack of confidence and stuff really is her some sort of a defense. And I'm sorry but if I was in her place, I'll feel like I was took for granted :(
Donno why but i more interested on supporting characters like agalia with delos and aria with raoul. Seriuosly want a prequel for Aria and Raoul. I root them
I'm debating whether to read this manga or not (came b/c wanting something sort of like "Akatsuki no Yona", AND it's by the same author), but the premise REALLY makes me want it to be yaoi/shounen-ai!!! I knew it likely wouldn't cuz it's a typically shoujo author, but it kinda(really) upsets me it didn't go that route ┗( T﹏T )┛. Would you say the way the character relationships develop, the final pairings make sense and feel earned/deserved? Cuz if not, I'm not sure I want to invest my time...please help! Σ( ￣□￣||)

You've prolly read it already, but i feel like this is the best manga kusanagi-sensei made so ofc it's worth the time... And yea, could've been a great yaoi but so was game x rush.. honestly everything this author makes feels like there could be a side shounen ai ship or somethin lol

Haha, thank you! I actually haven't read it yet, but now I think I'll do that once I'm finished my re-read of Akatsuki no Yona, lol ;p

Your welcome, hope u enjoy it :D one of the character looks like haku but with thicker eyebrows lol, I think the author really enjoys drawing characters that looks like haku

Haha, I notice that with a lot of authors, especially with male characters! Male Leads from the same author all tend to look almost identical with slight tweaks, probably cuz that's the author's "ideal man" in their art-style

*has been the
yk this is going to be good when you see it's by kusanagi-sensei
As what Serena wished she became a man and just stay beside him. Damn. Damn. If this wasn't label as Shoujo. Trust me they'll end up together
At least he moved forward so im satisfied with the ending ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Donno why but i more interested on supporting characters like agalia with delos and aria with raoul. Seriuosly want a prequel for Aria and Raoul. I root them
Yep. I want more extra. Too bad...
I'm still at the start of the story, and I must say this could have been a good a yaoi
