We Swore to Meet in the Next Life and That's When Things Got Weird! · review
Beautiful purifying manga... Every once in a while, it's nice to read the kind of manga that purifies your heart—especially after something heavy or overly shonen. And this is it! The story is a wholesome slice-of-life romance between two people: a princess from a small kingdom and her loyal knight. Bound by duty and separated by status, they were never truly able to be together in their past lives. Reunited in a new life, they must now cherish their newfound freedom with each other for the rest of their days. As they grow closer, they also come to realize the significant age disparity between them, which addscomplexity to their relationship.
While reading this manga, I kept getting butterflies in my stomach. The leads relationship is both heartwarming and endearing as they spend their day to day lives together. Their dynamic is subtle and slow-burning formed from their shared history together. There’s something incredibly calming about seeing them together. Some might think it might be cringe, but I think otherwise.
The art is drawn with soft, expressive features, which perfectly complements the narrative of the story and enriches their moments together.
The side characters do stir up a bit of drama, but it never feels unnecessary. There are no love triangles or annoying tropes to weigh down the story.
Overall, if there’s one thing I wish the story explored more, it’s their time together. The ending felt a bit rushed, and it would have been nice to see more of their moments together. Nevertheless, it’s a great light read when you’re looking for a change of pace from your usual reading material.
