What if you died and were reborn and remembered all your memories of your former life when you were 10 years old? this is the story of an adorable 11 year old girl who happens to remember her former life, and fate reunites her with her former lover again, who is now 25 years old. Also, she remembers the promise she made to him. And our story begins. Very small spoilers will follow.

Art- The art is adorable, cute, sweet. Its such a light, yet detailed art that suits the characters perfectly.

Character- Its impossible not to love the main protagonists. If you´re waiting for a tsundere unstoppable lolita, this is not the case. If you´re waiting for a quiet emo loli with a trauma, this is also not the case. Niina is simply adorable. What I enjoyed the most was the fact that she easily adapted to her current life, to her family, and mostly to herself, and she liked to be her current self, also, does not regret not being Chitose anymore (her past life), and she does not want to be Chitose, she wants to be Niina. Yet, she was not able to let go her former lover when she accidentally meets him again. But she does not imposes her feelings on him, she does not reveal him "I was Chitose". She simply wants to be with him and if its possible, making him falling in love with her again. This loli gained all my respect. period.

As for the male protagonist, we have a man tortured by the death of his girlfriend when both had 15 years old. 10 years have passed since her death and he was not able to move on. Still, he did not became a loner or a bitter person to others. He is still kind, and the best of all, he has a deep tenderness and respect for Niina that does not involve second intentions. He even hangs out with Niina´s family.
I enjoyed a lot to see the protagonists relationship. An unbreakable bond of friendship, mutual respect and understanding, where both of them try their best to convey their thoughts and feelings to each other with honesty.

Enjoyment- I enjoyed this a lot. So cute. I haven't read such a cute manga lately. It didn't have many comedy, nor many drama, although I felt so sad in the flashbacks of Niina´s former life and it broke my heart to see the main guy feeling guilty and still loving her even after her death. Also the best thing in this manga is how we see the focus not just on the romance but also in family bonds. Family plays here a very important part, unlike other shoujos.
Niina´s healing power with cuteness overload was unique.
Also epic quotes. My favorite is: " When the partner of a swan dies, the other stays alone forever".

Overall, a great, endearing read. It surprised me, really. I like this author a lot, she makes amazing stories that always leave me with a smile or a tear at the end.
If you enjoy light romance and drama plus slice of life with very sweet moments, then this is for you:)
