About the Plot of Petals of Reincarnation Anime
The storyline of the Petals of Reincarnation anime centers around Toya Senji, a high school student who constantly compares himself to his genius older brother and belittles his own talents. The manga, written and illustrated by Mikihisa Konishi, serves as the basis for the series.
Senji’s aspiration is to achieve greatness and gain recognition. His wish comes true when he reunites with an old classmate from high school, Haito Le Buffett, who had been absent for a long time. Senji discovers that Haito possesses the “Branch of Reincarnation,”a tool that allows her to tap into her talents from previous lives. In her past lives, Haito was known as the legendary swordsman, Miyamoto Musashi.
Additionally, she discloses that utilizing the blade results in a person becoming a “Returner,”someone reborn with abilities from their previous lives. Toya Senji discovers that there exists an abundance of these “Returners,”all of whom possess grand aspirations due to their exceptional talents.
