DESCRIPTION:
Years later, Orochi's spirit returns in the body of another girl. It seems the younger sister has been made bitter and sadistic by her traumatic childhood but maybe the seemingly angelic older sister isn't quite as perfect as she seems.. The older girl can do no wrong and the younger girl is constantly criticised and berated for not living up to her sibling's exemplary standards. The two sisters are now grown women: the younger sister is a bitter woman, forced to return to her family home after an unsuccessful marriage and the older sister is now a bed-ridden widow with a terminal illness. Orochi, a strange girl who wakes up for ten years at a time once every century, observes two sisters growing u

It's one redeeming quality was the ending, which was decent but not as surprising as the writer must have hoped since I was able to predict the conclusion. I was left wond. "The Roles Cast By Fate" according to ThatUmbrellaGuy. Younger siblings sometimes find themselves overshadowed by their elder's accomplishments, much to their perpetual dismay. Still, sometimes the role cast is that of an inferior and one must accept the fact that their deeds will not shine as brightly as those that came before. For Lisa, however, its something altogether different, reaching depths of woe that few youths could conceive. No matter what she does, her sister Kazusa has done it better in numerously impressive ways. Whether its lessons in school, the playing of a piano, or ever the growth of flowers in a garden just for fun, Lisa is always told that she'll never be comparable
