Goodreads Synopsis:
Yukari Kobayakawa, an
accomplished author at the age of 17, writes with amazingly accurate
details about historical Japan. It turns out he has the ability to
travel back in time…to his past life as a renowned courtesan
in the Edo period! As he goes back and forth between the past and
present, he unravels the karmic relationship he has with his beautiful
classmate Mahoro Tachibana…
Review:
I was surprised
with this volume. While I enjoyed the previous one, this one was even better.
It had me all caught up and excited in the action.
Yukari continues
going to his past self, trying to figure out what the connection to his present
is. He lets Satomi stay with him, take care of the house in place of his aunt.
Yukari is pretty
much just along for the ride, entertained by life and the people around him,
practically trying to take a back seat and let it all happen. But he’s getting
more genuinely interested in the people around him, even while not realizing.
He seems to be interested in Mahoro, the feelings slowly developing for him.
They’re developing much faster for Mahoro, though.
Unbeknownst to
Yukari, Mahoro and Satomi are having flashbacks, almost black-outs
while their past selves take over. This is surprising for them, and for each
other, as they have lingering hatred and betrayals. I was surprised with the
twist thrown in about their identities, and the apparent betrayal hinted at
from their pasts. I also love it, and am so excited about it.
This volume
surprised me and really pulled me in, as I was hoping it would. And now I’m
super excited to get the next volume.
