This is perfect. I actually thought that there was a lot of character development! I think that you just need to look closely to notice it. The fact that the storyline moved quickly at the beginning made me fall face-first into it and once I was in, there was no getting out! It is a storyline that you need to really pay attention to to understand, but once you do understand you have so many feelings you spend the day crying. Overall, this is an amazing manga series (in my opinion) and I love it : )
