Bokura no Kiseki review

Bokura no Kiseki asks a simple question, "If you had been reincarnated, and you could find out about your past, how much and why would you want to know?"

The questions later pile on--"If you held certain power in your hands, what would you do with it?"

The Story ~
The story starts off rather peculiarly. A young man, Minami Harasumi, strangely relates to a princess from the Middle Ages--Princess Veronica of Zerestria--and he himself is certain that he is the princess in reincarnation. Peculiar. But it doesn't stop there. While he is the only one who believes he is a reincarnation at first, others in his highschool--many who had once scorned him for his "fantasy--" begin to remember their past lives as well.

Wars from the past reincarnate as well, through the form of the numerous students who remember their allegiances and seek rashly the answers to the wars of the past. As the students and Harasumi himself begin to question the motives of their past selves innocent lives are hurt and moral issues are thrown into play.

Overall an excellently developed plot, while being slightly confusing at first the plot does begin to be more and more understandable as one progresses reading this manga.

The Art ~
The art does quite resemble Reimei no Arcana to a large degree, the eyes, the styles of hair--makes you wonder if the artists are the same. Needless, the art is pleasing to the eye.

The only one thing to note about the art is that often times it can be quite confusing to tell one character from the next. Often times I could scarce tell the difference between Haruko and Maki save for a slight difference in the way they braid their hair.

But other than that wonderful art overall.

The Characters ~
The main character Harasumi shows quite a bit of character development--as do all the characters on a whole--so it is easy to feel for their thoughts and understand them. As one reads, one begins to pity, to sympathize with some of the characters as they lament either the past deaths of loved ones or of their own actions of their lives in the past.

But what is most appealing is that these characters, no matter what happens to them, stay true to themselves. They do not forget their roots, their backgrounds, and most of all themselves. Kudos to the author for these character designs, really loved them on the whole.

Overall ~
If you are looking for an entertaining shoujo manga to read--look no further thou shoujo lovers/shounen lovers! This manga will satisfy any tastebud guaranteed! Especially if you do not read shoujo very often this is a great change of pace that you will find refreshing!

There is enough action present for me to be on the tip of my seat and yet enough romance and slice of life for me to be in the feels half the time. And I don't get in the feels very often!

4.5 stars out of 5 for the wonderfully presented, manipulative, witty, and speculative Bokura no Kiseki!
