Last Quarter… The last phase of the lunar cycle before the moon fades into perpetual darkness. Kagen no Tsuki (Last Quarter) is a Shoujo, Supernatural, Mystery, Romance with a story unlike anything Ai Yazawa has conjured up but still manages to retain the style she is renowned for.
Well similar to Ai’s more well-known manga Nana, Kagen no Tsuki starts of with an incredible prologue (one of my best in fact) and any unsuspecting reader would not believe it to be a prologue until it hits them. It is then that the story truly begins. Trying my best not to spoil anything; Kagen no Tsuki follows

The best thing about this manga is the story. The characters, the art, and everything else just faded away while I was reading it. At the start you think that this is all it's ever gonna be. The protagonist met a boy who drew her in and blah blah. To be honest I didn't read the synopsis, so I guess that's why I felt that way. But as I read the chapters, I JUST COULDN'T STOP. I need to know what happened.
The story draws you in, holds you tightly and exploits every bit of emotion it can get out from you. It's about true love. ...

I would like to stop for a moment and applaud Ai Yazawa for her efforts on this story.
Story: 8/10 (Very Good) The story starts off in a rather mysterious way; as if the characters' world belong to only them. Imagine an invisible circle surrounding these characters, if you may. So, there is something spiritual at first... That spiritual feeling was very intruding, which allowed me to read further. The story appears to be possibly predictable at first, but then it takes a twist. Sometimes, the story was confusing as well, as readers could only continue to read more to find out the answers... I'm proud to say that ...

I was hesitating to read 'Kagen no Tsuki' since I had a bitter experience with Nana that I eventually dropped it, and was left in a haze with 'Paradise Kiss' but at least it was a worthy journey with a realistic ending that fits the series and I came to accept it and love it.
However, this time the manga wasn't as heavy as it's precedents were but it had all the element of success and enjoyment from the very start. It honestly felt like I was watching a movie. Events unfolded smoothly and although we knew alot of key factors on what's going on, it ...

VOL. 1: Decided to give something different a go on a whim, and I'm glad I did! While this generally isn't the type of manga I go for, I can't deny that it hooked me pretty quickly and I'm very invested already in seeing where things go. The characters are all very likeable, the artwork is superb, and the story hits on a ton of different genres, from comedy to romance to mystery, all very deftly. The melancholy atmosphere that's built here is great, and overall this just felt like a breath of fresh air to me in contrast to what I'm usually drawn to.
