Since there are a fair share of positive reviews for this I'm going to be the cruel one. I truly do not understand how this can have a score higher than a 5. I'll also mainly write this review around the parts I find the most important to talk about so a lot about it will be omitted.

Before reading this manga this you need a bit of a trigger warning as there are a lot of things like abuse, manipulation and rape that are jokingly glossed over in it. You could say that it's an older series and that it's a product of it's time, read more

Preliminary

Oki, it might seem I have overated this manga a tiny bit. But I truly believe this was one touching story. I was crying through the whole of the last chapters.

Story.
Basically, its about this girl {20 years old} who was in an accident 1 year ago, and one of her blood donors somehow "transfered" part of her soul into the girl {Maiko} while donating her blood. One day, this teacher {her main love interest throughout the story} starts at her school, and she has to have these weird "visions" about a younger him... and so it goes on and on. There are some twists to read more

Preliminary

I expected a love story, nothing more, what I got was somewhat different.

If you were sharing your body with someone else, how do you know what part is you and which is them?
When does that line of what you feel and think end and what they feel and thinks begin?

Maiko almost died in an accident. But thanks to someone’s blood she was saved. A year later she is having visions and dreams about another life that isn’t hers. Specifically a man, one she happens to meet, it’s the new college professor. Every time she gets near him, her heartbeat goes crazy and when he touches her, she melts. A name keeps popping up in her dreams, Haruka, seems like there is more to him that meets the eyes.

Underneath the romance of a girl and a professor is a tale about destiny and chance.
The future isn’t something that’s set in stone, anything can change it. More than once I have found myself wishing I knew how something was going to turn out because that would make choosing so much easier.
We wish and we wish never expecting for it to be granted and if just one time you can see how, when and why something happens, something so small in this world yet significant that can alter the life course of people you have love. I’m not talking about something like heist or saving millions of people from dying. Something small like saving someone from getting run over by a car.

If we change it are we prepared for it? We tend to forget that once we change one little thing, the rest has to be accommodated to fit that part in, making everything change.
I was actually glad that was the theme of the manga. Had a Butterfly Effect feel to it.

The characters surprised me. The way that they act was a lot like they are in high school, it makes you forget that they are college woman and men. I would say that it’s not realistic but that’s not true, the fact that they can sometimes still act like teenagers just make it that much more accurate. Some of us don’t really grow up, we just put on roles for certain times of the day were it’s fitting. Eventually making them permanent.
Maiko personal struggle of trying to find herself within herself was interesting and made you feel for her. Her peaceful life suddenly got complicated and she wasn’t sure what was real or not. There were all these choices to be made and all of them were made by her and for that she had the most growth as a character. The others just went along for the ride.
For that reason I didn’t feel a lot of Yukiya (professor). His thoughts were everywhere and he was living in the past and that’s ok had the past been his. Any more is a spoiler and it’s worth reading.

The art was average and nice for the eyes. I did love the way Touya was drawn and his role in general. His role put a smile on my face and actually almost made me cry. The guy was a bishie who was full of himself, the girl had big eyes and was humble-ish. Other than that it was average.

It’s definitely worth a read, I enjoyed the romance and the smiles but I also enjoyed the philosophical question of destiny and changing your future it has in it‘s subtexts. Not everything is black and white, or maybe it is and we just blend to our comfort.

My rating is actually an 8.9 almost 9.

I loved this manga!

When I first started reading it I thought, "Oh yeah, this is good some good humor nice plot." As it went on though I felt a connection between the main charater, Maiki chan, and the way she couldn't decided between two guys and the way she struggled with her feelings for Nagase san. The last chapter had me crying, meaning that this story really touched and affected me. I felt like it was so real, like Touya kun's special powers transported me into the story :D it's great! Definitely worth the read.

The art is amazing, too! Nagase kun is super attractive read more
