Each story poses a simple yet interesting question, thereby making it a very philosophical series. Muteki is intriguing because the interrogator asks every question other than why. This story puts the answer to why directly in your face, but leaves you interested in the psyche of the suspect because of it. Kimi wa Star is novel for its reversal of expectations. We are told one thing and learn to believe another. The most confusing part is the ending lines: "I am a star. Never like me." The meaning is open and vague, which allows the reader to take their own meaning from it. Norowarezu-hime to Ori no Touis the most poetic for its characterization of purpose and meaning. All humans have curses, labeled or unlabeled, and those curses define who they are. One girl without a clear purpose finds true love, but doesn't understand why. A man burdened with an ancestral curse leaves her with the answer that life is meaningless.
