i love this manga, i really do, its incredibly depressing but wierdly somehow uplifting, not many people know mizukis work which is a real shame. Of course it is all personal opinion and many wont like the hyper-violent and very particular art style but personally i love to copy the art, the lines flow so beautifully and she can tell so much with so few strokes that sometimes it can be a little hard to understand but we can forgive her that, it is a tragedy, and i felt very moving though inevitable and easy to predict I introduced this at school and every singleperson who read it went out and bought it after, it is very obcessive if you do like it-
give it a try, you may love it as I did, or you may not, but whatever, i think it is one of the most beautiful mangas, no books in general I think ive ever read- hope you like it too
oh and I love Othello :p
