Goodreads Synopsis:

amazingly accurate details about historical Japan. It turns out he has

and present, he unravels the karmic relationship he has with his
beautiful classmate Mahoro Tachibana...
Review:
I’m already a fan
of Shiomi from Rasetsu, so I’m already ready to love this series.
Mostly right now,
though, I’m intrigued.
The entire
reincarnation aspect I like, and I enjoy how the characters get a sense when
they meet someone. It might seem a bit sudden, but I don’t mind that. Plus,
since we get to see both times, I think it works out fine.
Yukari is a bit
stuck inside his head, oblivious to everyone and thing around him. He’s just
now learning about his past as a courtesan, and his curiosity takes it in
stride. He’s pretty straight-faced about it. Mahoro is kind of adorable. I
think she’s sweet, and her affection for Yukari is cute. I like her already,
and am looking forward to seeing her develop, especially with the cliffhanger.
The artwork is
pretty, though not overly done. I appreciate the characteristics for each
person, and I’m enjoying how the story is set up and how it’s playing out.
I’m enjoying this
already, and am looking forward to seeing how the storyline plays out, and how
the characters develop.
