@justanothermanganerd Ok, yes that was a typo on my part. But the point of the corrections is to make clear the daughter's age, which becomes more relevant next chapter.

I see this ending one of two ways (with possibly loads of drama inbetween):
1) He ends up with the coworker after he and the wife both decide to move on with their new lives.
2) He ends up with the reincarnated wife, possibly getting married after she comes of age.
Honestly, I would prefer the second option much more. I do like the coworker, but it feels like he and his wife being together again just fits better than her going her own way. Problem is that by the time they can get together and married again, he'll be in his late 40s/50s so that might complicate things.
That said, I feel like this is going to be one of those "you have to move on" kind of stories, for the both of them. He has to move on from his departed wife and she has to move on with her new life. So I'm thinking the coworker is the one he'll end up with.
Still.... I'm rooting for them.

He's definitely not going to end up with the wife... She said so from the beginning, she really wanted them to move on from her. And while she is getting more attached the more she interacts with him and her daughter and it will bring drama, she knows that society will never look at them properly together, even when she's an adult. She's going to push herself out of the picture, either directly being up front about it or suggesting her memories are gone or something. It's going to hurt the husband and her, but rebound girl is there.
They're going to realize this was a miracle not meant to keep the status quo, but give closure. My heart kind of breaks for them.

(Just picked it up) and I bet the way the writer will end it is with her losing her memory of her previous life... I hope I'm wrong......
@sirflimflam I agree with you expect the rebound girl part... he won't end up with anyone

@sirflimflam
Probably. But I don't see the problem if that weren't the case.
Upon reaching adulthood they could get married and society couldn't say shit, more specifically the law couldn't say shit. They might get judged. But so %#^ what.
I find alot of problems with your use of terms, sirflimflam.
"Miracle"
This word is a problem no matter where it's used. Nothing is a miracle, everything is just things that happen. Miracle is more short hand for hand of God for those of christian faith.
"not meant to"
This again is implying a higher power with a plan. I doubt the comic will get into the existence of God or not. And assuming a God in the comic, still free will, right? So this phrase doesn't work.
" keep the status quo"
We are talking about a married couple who deeply love each other. And you're dismissing it with the phrase "status quo". Their love isn't a sitcom plot.
"give closure"
Give closer to her death even though she's technically alive, just in a new form?
That's alot of problematic phrasing you packed into a single sentence.
I understand some of you have that gut reaction evil yucky pepedophile thing going on. But that's not accepting the story on it's own terms.
Look, the issue with pedophilia is the idea of a young mind not being able to handle sex. But her minds not young! As far as her body goes, isn't that the same as saying yuck! to seeing a homosexual or mixed couple or whatever else might turn you off? Of course there is a great deal of danger for the husband involved in all this and he's got no sense of caution at all. Plus no bloody way will it delve into the murky waters of a sexual relationship with such a physical body age difference in a comic that isn't explicitly hentai. Hell, these things don't usually delve into sex between married consenting sex, most comics avoid it like the plague unless the comics all about that. So in short, the comics not going to have them do sexual things with that bodies age.
So that brings us to them remarrying when she becomes of legal age. Sure his body being much older means he's more likely to die before her. So? Meaning she may have to live without him? But if they go their separate ways, that's the same thing, except sooner?

The word "miracle" here has nothing to do with Christian beliefs and everything to do with _Buddhist_ beliefs.
In the Shinto/Buddhist melange that is the belief system of most Japanese people, reincarnation is normal. Rebirth is supposed to happen, but continuity of memories is not. That is the miracle; a miracle, after all, is just some force intervening to change what usually happens (what "should" happen, not in a normative sense but a descriptive sense).
I kind of want to see more of how this is all affecting her life. Because it's got to be absolutely devastating to her relationship with the parents who've been raising her for the last ten years, her attitude at school, any friends she made before her memories awoke. Without that perspective, with everything framed through his experience, it seems like the author intends a "treasure your memories but let go of attachments and keep living" message that, again, would be more Buddhist .

This could go bad very quickly with how public he is with his affection. I mean I understand he's happy he gets to see his wife again but she's a child now. The best outcome would be for him to just be happy she's alive and move on with his life. Or, wait until she's legally old enough to be in a relationship with him
