Grade: 9

Yukari's new servant, Satomi, and fangirl Mahoro instantly dislike each other! Could Satomi be the reincarnation of the murderer of Yukari's past life, Yumurasaki? Or could Yukari have made some wrong conclusions about the things he's seen in the past? Shocking revelations and twists abound!

The art is good to great. For the most part, I like the story a lot, though it can be a little hard to follow sometimes in that it seems to leave details out, then explain what's going on later. I was uncomfortable with a semi-rape scene -- though to be fair to the guy, Takamura, he paid for a service that Yumurasaki was willing to provide, and Yukari's soul popped in unexpectedly, mid-act. Still, I think Takamura should have stopped when Yukari asked him to. Even so, and despite his generally abrasive personality ... I kind of like him anyway. I like Satomi, too, and like the animosity between him and Mahoro -- especially how they are confused by it. (My ideal would be for the three present-day characters to become a threesome.) The twists are great -- this is a series that promises to keep readers on their toes! I'm very interested to see how the mystery of the murder plays out!
