We Swore to Meet in the Next Life and That's When Things Got Weird! Vol. 1

Character designs are cute, story is cute, and it's quite endearing despite it's subject matter. Don't get me wrong, this series definitely comes off as for adult women to fantasize about the perfect young man to love them, that's just kind of expected from the description alone.I think a lot of people, myself included, who don't fall under that market can find enjoyment in this. It helps that the story is self aware enough to acknowledge the age difference and all, and even uses it to make the series more endearing with Princess struggling with how people around her view them.A solid read, the only issues I have are that I wish the chapters were longer, and I would like if the volume was larger, because if it didn't stand out in terms of color as well as it does, I don't think I could find it on my shelf

My only concern is that because of her age, and especially his age, there is a very fine line they must be sure not to stray across. She's absolutely gorgeous, & he's incredibly handsome. It is so apparent they both madly love each other, yet are trying so hard to restrain themselves because of societal norms. They promised each other that they would find one another in the next life, & they did. Who cares if people stare & whisper? Even his childhood friend, madly in love with him, too, she urges the woman to accept him & love him. I see good things happening in future volumes, if they do it right. Art, really good. Such a beautiful woman, & he has such rugged good looks. Dialogue, very entertaining, very heartfelt. Characters, believable, likeable, relatable, loveable.

Cute. I'd like to see more of their past in future installments.

I can't wait to see how this turns out. The age difference was a bit if a turn off at first and just plain mean spirited of destiny, but as a plot point, it makes it terribly interesting. The art style had a "showa" era feel to it. Beautiful, but rounded and simple. I look forward to volume 2.

*spoiler--------------------I swear in life that this will forever be one of my favorite book series. If the author write more I will pre-order it. I highly recommend because it took the age gap seriously and didn't just act like it wasn't there. The past life played a pretty big role in it and I was pleasantly surprised that it did. I just wish that we could have seen the wedding!

READ AUGUST 2023** This review is for the entire series. **This was a short and sweet little series! A Princess and a knight of her kingdom fall in love, but cannot be together due to their differing stations. They meet each other again, reborn in modern day Japan. The only problem is the Princess in now on the cusp of 40 and the knight is still in high school.The large age difference might have put me off but both characters have full memories of their past lives, so it works around the maturity difference that way. Unfortunately, there’s not a lot of substance to sink your teeth into here which I would have liked. Taken for what it is though, I enjoyed it well enough. It’s fun if you’re looking for a quick, positive read.

My wife lived it. Great read

I love this manga so much. I first stumbled across it at Books A Million, and knew I just had to have it.And, I am really glad I did. It is so lovely. They really did a good job on it so far. I love the romance of them wanting to be together, but being torn by the society norms. The age gap is a bit, but I definitely see so much potential in volumes to come.
