Reincarnation no Kaben

Senji Touya is on a relentless quest to discover his hidden talent, throwing himself into countless pursuits—kendo, dance, swimming, basketball, soccer, chess—yet never managing to rise above mediocrity. His frustration grows with each failed attempt. Then, one day, his rarely seen classmate Haito reappears at school. To Senji, she embodies everything he lacks—natural ability, effortless skill. But he soon learns the shocking truth: Haito isn’t just talented—she has stolen the abilities of her past self. People like her, who seize their former talents, are called “Returners.” This revelation shatters Senji’s understanding of what it means to be gifted, forcing him to question whether true talent can ever be earned—or if it must always be taken. The line between hard work and destiny blurs as he confronts this unsettling reality.
