There are a few red flags with the relationship between Nijou and Toomi - Toomi at one point says he likes making and seeing Nijou cry. The biggest problem I had with these stories were the epilogues and the order of the stories. The main stories are first and then the epilogues for each are in the same order, giving it a sort of ABAB approach to storytelling. Read Full Review
