[hananoyuuki]

@Hi3 Looks like not only do they exist, they make up a good half of the marriages in the world

[Tersione]

Ow my heart. This reincarnation stuff really is a boon for all three of these couples.

 

[Mick96]

How is this life version of them ended?
Do they never be together? Did she marry the prince?

 

[Short_Circut]

@Hi3 still exists in a lot of Asian countries tbh. Though some would be more termed "arranged marriages" the parties are still pretty much forced into them. Though in terms of forced marriages for political reasons, probably still does exist but not to the extent of back then

 

[Walter_vi_Britannia]

@Mick96 If she did then that's quite sad for the prince. Imagine marrying a woman who till her next life thought of another man.

 

[Hi3]

@jsh020 @Short_Circut how interesting. Thanks for the info

I assume you're excluding the reincarnated cat/owner not-quite-the-same-as-a-couple?

 

[Thejobbernowl]

THIS SERIES ISN'T ALLOWED TO BE SAD

 

[Ohgodpleaseno]

@justforthelulz I'm all for people fucking their cat, but I think it's the cat & owner's first time being a couple. In all seriousness though, it seems like the other three relationships all had some obstacle (serious illness, communication breakdown, difference in status) that makes them seem more tragic.

 

[IrregularPerson]

whoa

 

[jnguy2]

i hope he begins to treat her like a normal girl soon!

 

[Tersione]

@justforthelulz Uh... would you believe me if I said I somehow forgot there were four couples?

Although, if you think about it, this reincarnation stuff is pretty different for them compared to the other three.

They didn't really have an unfulfilled romance in the past or anything. Their love story is relatively new and only came about because Hikari didn't quite regain all of his memories.

Whatever that implies, I don't know.

 

[justforthelulz]

@Tersione @Ohgodpleaseno
Agreed on their previous lives' circumstances being notably different from the reincarnated human/human couples.

But that's not even the most bizarre reincarnation couple I've read about recently.
How about MaleRabbit/FemaleRabbit ---> SentientMarshmallow/HumanWoman?

 

[Tersione]

@justforthelulz That's just forbidden love.

 

[stressedcoffee]

MY HEART GOT SAD :-((( atleast they got reincarnated and "soon" (???) will be a couple but i hope jou gets past the servant instinct hahaha
