I finished reading NG Life over the weekend. I've been buying a volume here and there from Book Off and filling in my missing volumes at Kinokuniya until I bought all 9 volumes (I didn't even know volume 9 was the end... I thought it was still ongoing!). I read volumes 1-2 way back and wasn't too interested, but this time around, I was hooked. XD;

The main character, Keidai, remembers his past life, especially his past love, Serena. He's found his best male friend again in this life, except he's reincarnated as a girl. The series starts off with Keidai meeting his past love, except... she's reincarnated as a guy. XD; It's a romantic comedy, but there were lots of touching moments too. Keidai is fairly "handsome" but is an idiot most of the time. XD; Still, he's quite tormented by his memories since neither Serizawa (his best friend) and Yuuma (his past lover) remember anything from their past lives. On top of that, their genders are now different. This throws Keidai off a lot. Later on, there are some more explorations with exactly why he still has his memories.

( more spoilerish rambling )

I've also been reading two other reincarnation series, Oyayubihime Infinity (a group of people have butterfly tattoos. when their tattoos touch, they see a part of their past. throughout the series, they try to figure out who they were) and Yukarism (a writer was born with recollections of his past as a female). I started all of these because they're labeled as genderbenders. :3 I think I'll probably start Bokura no Kiseki next. XD
