Bokura no Kiseki is a story that i have been meaning to read for over a year at least. This is a story that i always put myself off from reading. May have something to do with a sense of dread i would have with this or maybe because i'm not a fan of Female to Male Gender benders.

This story took me over 11 days to read and this is something very abnormal for me sense i can read over 140 chapter stories in 4-6 days and this only has 55 stories as of the review.

One of the reasons i had with finishing this story i would say is a kind of dread feeling that would always come up when i would think of reading this. I use dread cause i can't find a better suiting word for it. It's not like i hate this story,
~~SPOILERS~~

The story itself doesn't have much wrong with it besides a couple and i'd say it's situational depending on the person reading.

1. This story has the biggest cast of character i have seen in media. I'm not even kidding. From what i remember over 24 characters have been reincarnated and this isn't including regular humans. With such a large cast it's no surprise that you would start getting characters that look like each other. This is made even worse when you have remember that these 24 character all have their own backstory and their own 2nd character model. So in total you are expected to remember 48 Character designs,Job in the past life, Names and personalities. With Characters having other character look alike this get's so confusing at times. With such a big cast also means we get some characters that don't have any screen time for chapters upon chapters. One character ( I believe he was a brother of a prince) Is brought up around chapter 15 i believe and isn't shown again tell around chapter 45.

2. We have character with romantic relationships going on. This is fine and all and is kind of nice too see. Only problem is that a lot of the time these characters relationships are really dived into. Such as the Minami and Takao's relationship is the best in the story yet we never see them really act like a couple or do anything with each other really. Hell, Takao doesn't even have much screen time. We also have characters such as Maki and Lily who are really perfect together.

3. Sense all of these characters are reborn and have grown up into teenagers. They all have their own family in their own houses. What i would love too see is this expanded on. Such as Minami's family starting to be interacted more and have Minami give thought on this new family vs the one when he was Veronica. I would love someone like his little sister find out about it and see her reaction.

4. We have two characters. Minami was the princess in his previous life. He feels responsible and has had to deal with so much stuff as the princess just to have her castle destroyed and her friends and loved ones be murdered by a fellow allied country. When Minami was reborn he was the only one to always remember his past life. He has had to deal with this sense a little kid. He was made fun of at school cause he brought up that he was a princess in a former life and was labeled as a freak. He has had to bottle all of these emotions and trauma from everyone around him. Even when the rest of the people regain their memories he now has to deal with a bunch of people wanting revenge, Scheming and just making his life more and more difficult. You would expect/Hope he reaches the breaking point and just brakes down for a while. Have him start crying on the shoulder of someone he knows and trusts ( Such as Takao his girlfriend or Mika) Not only would i think this help solve any problems i might have with the story. But it would also be a very nice and emotional scene to see this leader who everyone looks up to finally just let their emotions out and dealing with it for so many years of being alone and traumatized.
The other character that has had memories before the other is Maki. She has remember sense the start of middle school and has thought she was the only one. Something like i said with Minami to happen with her might be nice but to a lesser extent.

5. We have some character that are kind of weirdly forgotten but brought back at random points. Such as this girl Minami met in Middle school who was real nice and accepted him even with rumors of him being wired. A couple chapters later she is removed from the story and is hardly ever in anymore scenes. I don't know why but i feel it's kind of a missed chance to have a funny regular human character in this cast.

6. There tends to be an overly dark tone to this and i guess it can be kind of annoying at times. We are thankfully given pretty funny interactions with the Author and mini joke stories. Such as how Minami now uses his memories of being a female now that he is in a male body and the character besides him is surprised that the Princess does that.

7. I guess this would be my only other real problem with the story and it might just be me. But in case you haven't noticed this is a drama and feels type of story. Yet something that has bugged me is that all these people who were Knights or Royalty or even a servant were all pretty nice looking with some more attractive then others. But stuff like Veronica turning into a guy is kind of bumming to me tbh. I can't even stress how much i wish some of these character could return to there former bodies. Hell, Minami must also kind of wish it sense he was originally female. Then there are some other characters such as what used to be a very attractive and pretty looking female knight is now a big not so attractive chick and they make mention to how depressing this is multiple times. So it's not just me but the Arthur herself even admits it. I really do wish some of them are able to return back to their former self's.

A part of me wishes that something would happen and they return back to their former world. A part of me of that part of me wishes they would forget any of this happen. But i doubt that the characters will ever return back to their original home and i also doubt they would forget and i'm also kind of glad i know they won't forget. But again i do very much wish people like Minami would turn back into Veronica and Takao would turn back into Rida while that chubby chick i mentioned earlier would turn back into the attractive knight.

Really great story and probably my favorite manga there is. It's even more impressive sense it's just one girl doing the story and the art herself. Would recommend and i also hope this might get a Anime Adaptation one day in the future.
