On the one hand, there were a lot of things I liked about this volume. On the other hand, I was right when I predicted that I would probably be disappointed by the series' ending. I'll start off with the stuff I liked. By this point in the series, the artwork had really grown on me. I first finishe...

One volume away from the end of the series, and there is still lots of stuff going on. I suspect I'm going to be really disappointed by volume 4. A few things didn't make much sense.

I was very upset by how much I just didn't get into this manga. I LOVE her Dramacon and consider it one of the best manga's I've ever read. So I came in expecting to really get into it...and I just didn't. It was...interesting. Some of the ideas were really neat, some even seemed original or at leas...

Mysteries! We get enough of the story to enjoy it and enough is left out to be intriguing. Bonus: The action scenes were drawn in a way that you could tell what was going on. Double bonus: paranormal stuff didn't seem like the same old tropes.

I'm bumping this up my to-read list after really enjoying Chmakova's contribution to Flight, Vol. 5.
