Description
From Aerandria Scans:

When the Emperor takes a new Empress, she is barely older than the Emperor’s son Hikaru. She becomes both the one woman Hikaru loves and the one woman he can never have. And so Hikaru’s feelings roam as his body wanders from bed to bed, seeking a replacement for her. When he finds the girl he believes can take her place…he commits a terrible sin. Now, a thousand years later, Hikaru’s nightmares become reality as he is punished for past deeds in a new life—the greatest playboy in all of history…shakes like a lamb when any girl touches him!

Manga tries too hard.

I felt that the idea was very interesting, but the manga failed in the delivery of it. The mangaka tried too hard to somehow tie the present day with the events in the past and all that resulted in was a very jerky, confusing, over-the-top story. Clearly present day Japan is not like the aristocratic society of the Heian period, yet the characters are somehow stuck in the same "tragic" cycle as the characters in Genji Monogatari- but no real explanation as to why that should happen. The current reincarnations have different personalities, they meet in different circumstances, and their environment is completely different; so trying to make their relationship parallel Genji and Murasaki's relationship is completely absurd. The romantic setups are also extremely cheesy and feel contrived, and their everyday behaviour is unnatural. It could have been a nice story, but it ended up failing on so many levels.

this is such a wonderful manga, i especially love when they flashback to the historical times, showing Hikaru's pain.. i always cry because he's such a fool for hurting the one he truly loves... i love the artwork and it is definitely a must-read!!

This started out with a lot of potential. The plot was good, characters were well fleshed out. The only problem was the drama was ridiculous. I think the manga-ka tried to make the characters cry at least once in every chapter, and then have them argue, split apart and confess their love again in 5 chapter cycles. The historical aspect is good, but after seeing how stupid the couple is, you just wanna shoot them.

If they didn't explicitly state that he was the reincarnation of Hikaru Genji...

I'd wager it'd be a manga about a guy with early onset dementia and Alzheimers.

Seriously, this guy has a mind break every single chapter. He keeps getting possessed by ghosts of himself, recovering repressed memory, losing repressed memory, erratically switching from a chickenshit pure love gynophobe to a player who has sex with random people; and this isn't even accompanied by some kind of memory loss or trigger. He just randomly changes personalities for no reason and I'm about as surprised that his girlfriend still loves him, as I am that he hasn't been admitted to an asylum.

To be honest, I almost never give a manga this kind of rating unless I really didn't like it. I pretty much agree with what everyone has said about this so far; it has way too much drama and the ending (yes I somehow managed to finish it) made me really confused. The couple just made me so.... OINAGIOANOIDNAKNV IANSI
Anyways, I am done with my rant. To sum it up, I didn't really like this manga. I wouldn't recommend it, but some people like it so whatever floats your boat.

I find the mangaka's style of storytelling very jerky and abrupt, often leaving the readers confused. And it also feels like she's just fitting a typical shoujo hero and heroine into the (novel?) concept of reincarnation.

overall i enjoyed reading it but i just can't stand how the girl(main character) in her past life can sit around and wait for him when he's doing other ladies. That seems pretty retarded to me and in their current life time, all he does is hurt her and she seems to put up with that.

Unpleasant rollercoaster.

I was excited to read this because it sounded so unique, but a little ways in a noticed an unpleasant recurring theme that lasted until the very end that also happens to be my pet peeve: every five pages a misunderstanding would take place, and the (modern day) female lead would hate the male lead, then it would get cleared up and then they'd be lovey-dovey again. Every five pages, for seven volumes. I just couldn't take it.
The reason I kept reading this is I enjoyed the parts (flashbacks of a sort) about Genji; putting whether or not they are historically accurate aside, I found those parts very enjoyable.
I would say the story (minus my previously mentioned grievance) is decent but not particularly memorable. I definitely think there was a great deal of unused potential. The art is not "typical" but not breathtaking either; it's beautiful where the artist tries, but it's a style that when it's rushed it really shows and isn't pleasant to look at.
My final comment is that l felt like the... intention of the series changed from the first volume to the last; the basic premise ceases to exist halfway through. His "fear" of women-- the shaking-- only lasts a couple chapters and bears no real effect on the plot. It is not even a "curse" as the synopsis claims. I feel it's somewhat false advertisement.

To summarize, the annoying back and forth relationship due to stupid misunderstandings resulting from various causes, good story with unused potential, and art that averages out with really good panels and really bad ones.
