it has been such a delight to read these. I can't seem to get a hold of the seventh issue sadly, but I think it has only just released so I should be able to buy it online in due course. I NEED THIS IN PAPERBACK SO BAD DAMMIT, I didn't realise each chapter was being published every week or so, so im HOPING that after the 7th issue is published they will make some sort of announcement for it.

but yes, everything still stands. Beautiful art, heart breaking story, and dayum ELLEN IS 7??? Jesus christ I must have forgotten that detail, this story is horrible at times. I would say that the novel version seems to have a bit more written detail about small aspects within the house and their relevance, and the manga brushes over some of these things with haste, but it doesn't take over the charm of the story. Its a beautiful visualisation! what more can you expect from a single manga volume? (I doubt there wont be any more as it is very clear that the story is winding up to the point when viola meets ellen for the first time.)

this was such a delight. In all honesty it was a bit racy, but it turned into an intriguing spy espionage adventure in no time. The art was so stunning, and really reminded me of something straight out of a european cartoon, so delightful. would be a 5 but I do think the story telling lacked in some places, it was clearly meant to air mystery but overall struggled on the line of not giving enough information for a full experience. this will totally stick with me for a while though! this is super short as well, only about 20 episodes worth and you're done. Just dont read it on a bus, or a train, or with your parents around...
