Astral Twin
Kumi Makimura, Kodansya, 2
This is a cute, short story. Mayu Tsukui comes into school on the first day of classes and looks at the board to see what class she's in. Someone calles out "Tsukui", and she says "Yes?", and at the same time, the boy next to her says so too! Turns out, his name is Yoshiki Tsukui (which isn't a very common last name). Turns out, they're now in the same class, and they have the same birthday, blood type -- they were even born in the same hospital! What's one to make of such coincidences?
The artwork is cute and very pretty; it's light and goes well with the story. The ending seems to be something of a rush to me, and it might have been nice if it didn't have the ending we all know it'll have from the very beginning!, but it's still a sweet story.
