The story revolves around 15 year-old Midori, who has been adopted into a family where she has served as a replacement for their deceased child, Reika. I can't say much more than that without spoiling it, but it's an interesting plot overall. 9. The art was very realistic and detailed. The mangaka does a really good job with showing emotion through her drawings, and with expressing the darkness within the characters through their faces. 9. The characters were okay in my opinion. Midori's character was quite well-developed and realistic, but Tokio seems too perfect at times. The other characters were about average, with average development. Character backgroundswere well done for the most part, however. 8.

I enjoyed this personally, even though I'm not too big of a forbidden love fan. The characters' backgrounds got me, though. 8 for enjoyment.

Overall, I'll give this manga a 9, for a unique plot with characters with well-developed backgrounds, as well as realistic art. Even if you're not a fan of manga involving "forbidden romance", you might just enjoy it.
