'Petals Of Reincarnation' Manga Gets Anime Adaptation, Coming Soon

Just recently, a teaser was released on YouTube by the MAG Garden YouTube channel which showed that the manga 'Petals Of Reincarnation' is going to be getting an anime adaptation soon. The teaser can be watched below.

For those that are fans of the original manga, or are interested in what this new anime is about, below is a short summary of the plot.

The story of 'Petals Of Reincarnation' follows the protagonist, Senji Touya, a young high school boy that is unable to find something to excel at. He tries many different things, from academics, to sports, to debating, to even writing. But there doesn't seem to be any activity that he seems to be excellent at. His inferiority complex becomes worse as he sees his brother, a boy that is actually talented at many different things.

As he mourns his lack of talent, he meets a childhood friend, a girl named Haito La Buffet. When he sees that she's another person who is extremely talented, he comments on it. It's then that Haito explains to Touya that this talent wasn't something she was born with. Rather, she looked through her past lives to obtain this talent through a form of reincarnation. This allowed her to become what is referred in the series as a 'Returner', a person reincarnated with the talents of their past life.

These past lives belong to many historical figures such as the famous Japanese outlaw Ishikawa Goemon, to legendary scientist Isaac Newton, to even past rulers like Julius Caesar. For those that are interested in power fantasies and historical figures, this anime will be an amazing treat to both of those passions.

For anime fans that are just interested in interesting powers and cool fight scenes, worry not! If the manga quality is anything to go by, the anime will more than deliver on those promises.

The teaser announced that the latest volume of the manga will be released on August 7th, but no confirmed release date has been given for the anime. A comment by the original manga writer and artist, Mikihisa Konishi was written on the official website for the upcoming anime. The comment said, "I was surprised to learn that an anime was being made for the manga. I'd like to thank all the readers and those that are working towards turning my manga into a full-fledged anime."
