Love it or hate it? Why?
Love it! It was so different than any other manga I had ever read. The characters are developed well, but subtly. The plot line is really intriguing. Also, unlike most Shojo mangas, it isn't full of romance.
Would you recommend this story to a friend?
Yes

B+
Any other comments?
The style of drawing utilized by this author is a little strange. All hair strands appear to be 3- D.
