I'm thinking I might pick this up again in the future when it's been completed because the art is just too beautiful, but I felt the story + characters were really lacking, especially after volume 2. I loved the first two volumes and was expecting that, if it continued the way it was going, it'd become a new favorite. But Kurose's behavior from volume 3 on really turned me off, and I felt that Shirotani was a really flat character that had far too many stereotypes. But, like I said, the art was beautiful and I'm a sucker for that, so I might pick this upagain when the final volume comes out in Japan and try it in Japanese the second time around.
