  Kia Asamiya has created a really captivating tale for any fan of this type of story. It's unfortunate that the artwork doesn't quite hold up to the quality of the writing. Almost every character has the exact same face and expression throughout most of the book, and there are whole panels where a background or even some more depth on an existing background would have been a nice touch. In an interesting addition at the end, Kia explains that their offices were moving, and also talks about suffering from a cold during the production of this volume. I'm making a mental note to check out some of the earlier volumes to see if this book was maybe just a fluke. I'm really hoping it is, as this could easily become one of my favorite books of the past year. Read Full Review
