Our Miracle
Bokura no Kiseki (ボクラノキセキ, lit. Our Miracle) is an ongoing Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Natsuo Kumeta. It is serialized in Ichijinsha's magazine Comic Zero Sum Zōkan Ward since 2008 and has twelve tankōbon volumes as of June 2015. Since May 2015, the releases for Bokura no Kiseki have moved to Monthly Comic Zero-Sum due to the ceasing of publication of Comic Zero Sum Zōkan Ward. Therefore, the manga will be running monthly, instead of having releases once every two months. The monthly serialization will begin on August 28, 2015.[1][2]
Plot
Ever since he was young, Minami Harusumi has been having recurring dreams and flashbacks of his past life, Veronica, a princess of a small country called Zerestria. Thinking that getting reincarnated is normal, he told his classmates about it and was soon mocked. While getting bullied when he's in middle school, Minami rediscovers magic, something Veronica had learned. Reassured those memories are not merely imagination, Minami wrote what he remembers in a notebook so that he won't forget. And everything started to change when his high school classmates happen to read the notebook.
Characters
Present
- Harusumi Minami (皆見 晴澄, Minami Harusumi)
- The main character and protagonist. He is the reincarnation of Princess Veronica of Zerestria. He retained his memory as Veronica since he was very young and was ostracized in elementary and middle school for asserting his past life. The only one to believe him was his close friend, Kamioka. His notebook is part of what triggered the others to remember their past selves, along with the use of magic. He and Yuu are the only two known characters to be born of the opposite gender after being reincarnated. He is voiced by Jun Fukuyama in the Japanese drama CD.[3]
- Haruko Takao (高尾 春湖, Takao Haruko)
- She is Harusumi's girlfriend, one of the first few who came to the realization that Minami is Princess Veronica. She is the reincarnation of Rida Razarasare, Veronica's bodyguard. She often acts as his protector, even in the present time. She is voiced by Aya Endō in the Japanese drama CD.[3]
- Yu Hiroki (広木 悠, Hiroki Yū)
- A close friend of Takao and middle school friends with Ryuuji and Momoka. At first, she pretended to be Princess Veronica until Minami confessed to his true identity. Later on, she revealed to be reincarnation of Bart Belbania of Zerestria, but was actually using Bart's identify to hide her real identity as Glen. She hid her identity because she fears that those who wished to harm her in the past will come after her again. She has retained her memory of Glen since her first year of middle school. Harusumi and her are the only two known characters to be born of the opposite gender after being reincarnated.
- Tatsuya Otomo (大友 辰哉, Ōtomo Tatsuya)
- He's the reincarnation of Carlo Velbard, the bishop's right-hand man, a priest second-in-command of the church who knew Veronica as a child while she lived in the monastery. In the present, he's currently in charge of the priests because of the bishop's absence.
- Saya Kamioka (上岡 紗耶, Kamioka Saya)
- She is Harusumi's friend from middle school. She was the only person who believed him, the only one that was his friend. In high school, she was placed in a different class from Harusumi. She was attacked by someone with the ability to use magic one day after school, which caused Minami to strongly wish and prevent dragging in ordinary people who aren't related to the past events.
- Ryo Zeze (瀬々 稜, Zeze Ryō)
- He's a classmate of Harusumi and a carefree student who gets along with everyone. He's a part-timer at a karaoke owned by his parents, the place which is used by the characters to host their secret meetings. He doesn't remember who was his past self, not wanting to remember it. Recently, it was revealed through flashbacks and quotes that he's the reincarnation of Prince Eugene.
