Fun! The art style is beautiful and the characters very lovable. It's been a while since I've found a manga that I was excited to read. I definitely want to keep reading this series.

This was really interesting. The prose was particularly well-written/translated.
dark reflective fast-paced

Interesting story. I feel wierd about rating it and other important books like these. There were times where I liked the writing style and it seemed to help the narrative and other times where it seemed to do the opposite.

I was rereading this and it didn't strike me as good as it was when I had first read it. I think most of what turned me off was the audiobook style. It was a bit too dynamic to listen to casually and I found myself turning the volume up and down a little too frequently.

I started this and realized I was just not in the mood for it. I do want to pick it up later, when the time is right.
