Wow ... I just finished this manga and it is very hard for me to find the right words! For me, this manga was extremly captivating! The main character suffers a lot, learns a lot and shines at the end. I could simply not stop reading it! The story is definitely not a typical shojo manga, it's a lot darker but therefore sooo much more interesting! The only things I'd like to chriticize are that sometimes the story seems to jump a little (some issues are left unaddressed) and that the character development could be a bit more pronounced. But overall it is totally worth it! Please give this mangaa try. Read the first 4-5 chapters and only then make a decision an wether you like it or not.
