Starting about half-midway through a series, a disclaimer appeared at the bottom of the 1st document of each compilation volume stating that the story was totally fancied.

Characters

Tokyo, 1991

Alice Sakaguchi: The quiet & shy missy. She recently moved to Tokyo from either the town around Hokkaido.
She misses Hokkaido because she experienced peace & solitude there. After i foremost meet Alice she's engaged within a bitingly feud by using the son in the adjacent apartment, Rin Kobyashi. I see across a course of many volumes that Alice is normally a super nice human, & Rin pushed her across the edge. Around her former life, Alice was Mokuren. She retains Mokuren's ability to talk to plants, & produce plants develop by singing to the babies. Purportedly, Alice resembles Mokuren's mother.

He survived the fall however lapsed into a coma. These are when you took this coma that Rin hwhen an well-nigh number recall of his memories from either his last life as Shion. Although there are however little pieces missing from either his memories, he remembers far other just about his former life than any of the others.
Rin begins a project to communicate by having the moonbase utilizing Tokyo Tower. Around 1991 Tokyo Tower was existence renovated, & Rin utilized his psychic powers to threaten a contractors into applying his blueprints for the renovations. the project would turn Tokyo Tower into a big radio transmitter, capable of broadcasting to the moon. Sequentially to activate a systems in the moonbase he needs everyone's watchword. Across blackmail & deception, Rin slowly begins to collect these parole.
Rin lessens enamored by having Alice it used to be that he regains his memories, & blackmails her into becoming engaged to him. Alice's wakening was from either Rin shortly when he come away from a coma. Her 1st "moon dream" was from either the telepathic signal that Rin sent into her mind. A run that Rin utilized was known as "Synergetic Cascade" on the Moon Scientist's homeworld.
Interestingly plenty, Rin bears there is no physical resemblance to Shion. He actually looks such as Shukaido, world health organization he was obsessed by using whenever he died. He utilizes this to his benefit by convincing per others that he is Shukaido & non Shion. This lends much of dramatic irony to the series.

Jinpachi Ogura: A reincarnation of Gyokuran. His character description in the English manga compares him to Clark Kent, & that's probably when adept the description when any. Though it should become noted that, rather Gyokuran, he's emotionally unformed. He rebuffs Issei's advances forswearing another thought. Jinpachi too accidentally torments Issei by telling him how else he's fallen deeply dotty by having Alice.
Jinpachi & Issei come a 1st reincarnated moon characters that Alice & Rin encounter. Jinpachi is the simply character world health organization physically resembles his previous incarnation. Aside from either a way it section their hair, Gyokuran & Jinpachi come virtually monovular.

Issei Nishikiyori: A reincarnation of Enju. He was converted within the male immune system because he believed that he can be nearer to Gyokuran's next incarnation whenever it were two males. Issei retains Enju's powers of thought transference. This thought transference driven Jinpachi to run having a moon dreams too--& it as well means that Issei & Jinpachi keep close at hand a equivalent dreams nightly.
A close friendly relationship between Enju & Shushuran lives 2 life-time. After Sakura & Issei meet in the real life, it be right friends again. Sakura allows Issei to get all over his unreciprocated love for Jinpachi & advance.

Sakurthe attends the equivalent school when Daisuke, it discover both more when you took a touching-disastrous traffic accident piece on a field hike. Sakura screamed for Sarjalim to save her when a bus was within an uncontrolled skid. Sarjalim was a goddess that a Moon Man of science worshipped.

Sakura physically resembles Enju. Shusuran got short red hair, & Sakura confessed that she universally wished that she got Enju's midst, lustrous hair.

Haruhiko Kazama: Haruhiko is the reincarnation of Shukaido. Unlike Sakura & Daisuke, Haruhiko doesn't look at a ad inside Hoot! magazine. Rwithin diarrhethe into him in a uniform store & understands world health organization he is. Haruhiko is racked by using guilt on top a terrible tool he did to Shion within his former life. In and of itself he does all about that Rin tells him; including claiming he's a reincarnation of Shion. This turns dead set exist as an elysian move. A others develop to hate him when they recoup other of their memories & due to Rin's intrigue.
Haruhiko has the super frail heart, & it's suggested that it was away from his feelings of guilt that he was born into the infirm immune system. Haruhiko resembles Shion physically, because Shukadio was obsessed by using him whenever he died.

Daisuke Dobashi: A reincarnation of Hiiragi. Chronologically speaking, he began with a moon dreams 1st, after he began with the babies when he was septet. Still, Shion recovered his memories possibly younger, though his coma experienced a bit of support therein.
Daisuke has super little instance in panel in the manga, then non lot is known all about him. Nonetheless he doesn't trust Haruhiko, world health organization he believes to exist as Shion. He is likewise a simply a single world health organization understands a danger that collecting everthing of the word would pose, making it good deal supplementary hard for Rin to collect the children completely.
