Oyayubihime Infinity 3

Unfortunately, as more and more of the past life business gets uncovered and more and more people appear with the birthmarks, it becomes a little bit harder to keep track of everything. Not to mention the fact that, for all intents and purposes, what I think is the Literature Club serves absolutely no purpose than to show that the main character has friends in school.
Most of this volume is devoted to settling things between the main character and her sister. I’m glad for that, because it kind of made me angry that the sister took her past life to heart and decided that the main character was just going to up and leave her. It just… didn’t make much sense to me that you would tie someone’s past life into their present personality. Anyway, yes, after a daring rescue or whatever normally happens in manga, things are settled and everyone’s happy.
The boy that the sister was dating was a member of an extremely popular band. After the two of them… break up, another member of the band, his rival, decides that he’s going to start dating the main character because… yes, because he has the birthmark and says he was her lover in her past life. Ugh.
Meanwhile, the boy who stirred up all this past life business in the first place seems to slowly be falling for the main character, while his best friend admits his feelings for the boy to the main character and decides he doesn’t want anything to do with anyone anymore. This made sense to me, because it seemed like absolutely everyone used him for their own purpose, never once asking what his role in the past was.
The story is just a little sloppy, and a lot of the characters are a little off, but it’s still a pretty fun story, and I’m enjoying the ride. I’ve already got the next volume, and I’ll probably read it sometime this week since I’m enjoying this quite a bit more than I thought I would.
