Petals of Reincarnation

The "Branch of Reincarnation" is a mysterious power that allows one to gain the talents of a past life—at the cost of severing one's own head. Touya Senji has long lived in the shadow of his gifted older brother, burdened by a deep inferiority complex over his own perceived lack of talent. Determined to rely on academics as his last stronghold, he consistently ranks within the top 100 nationwide in mock exams—yet still finds no satisfaction. One day, Touya unexpectedly witnesses his classmate, Haito le Buffet—one of the "Reincarnators" who has obtained past-life abilities through the Branch—engaged in a deadly battle with a serial killer.
