* Based on a fantasy light novel series written by Kitayama Yuuri and illustrated by Riv.

Rio is a callous orphaned boy living in the slums. At only 7-years-old, he realizes he's actually the reincarnation of Amakawa Haruto, a Japanese university student with a tragic past. While still reeling from this shocking epiphany, Rio also comes to learn that he possesses extremely potent magical abilities and uses his new powers to solve the kidnapping case of a little girl. His good deed is acknowledged, and he's rewarded by being enrolled into... a prestigious academy for noble children...?

_____________________

Not the worst isekai I've seen. What Seirei has going for it is its pacing. These recycled light novel elements are not dwelled upon and by the end of episode two seems like we will be entering the actual adventure portion of the story soon. I also enjoy how the show isn't committing as to who the little boy actually is. Is seems implied that he died and was possessed by the isekaie'd spirit from glorious nippon, but the kid's monologue refers to the memories as belonging to another, at least as far as the subs word it... The background mystery helps, so long as I don't realize it probably won't be resolved or touched on satisfactorily this cour.
