the art is PHENOMENAL. a large reason for my high score is simply because of how well done and fitting the art is. i even bought the first 6 volumes in japanese just to look at it all over again and i dont even speak japanese lol. The story was pretty good. there were some parts where things were a little vague but i think it was for artistic purposes. My main complaint is that it feels kind of corny in some places, at least in the english localization. Maybe it is less so in the original work. Not a huge deal, and not distractingeither.
