This is a one-shot by my favorite manga-ka, so what I write on this review might be a little biased.
Story: (10)
The story of a dream world, or of a person going to sleep for eternity already has been used quite a few times. The way Kaori Yuki structured the society of Camelot Garden, however, impressed me! I loved how she applied a poem to the story, and based the whole social classes on card names and such. I found that to be quite creative and amusing! The mystery added to the one-shot was also really good, the usual of Kaori Yuki. The secret is not entirely obvious until the very end, and I don't know about everyone else but personally I like mysteries that way. It keeps you guessing at the truth throughout the whole story until the end.
Art: (10)
I'm a HUGE fan of Kaori Yuki's art, and every time I read her works I have to stop and drool over each panel. Character designs are neat, complex, and beautiful. Backgrounds are beathtaking, and the panels are arranged in an easy way to read! Every character looks different nd there's no way to mistake one for another.
Character: (9)
One of the few things that irritated me was the lack of interest any of the characters had in discovering the truth about Camelot Garden. A true explanation for this, not counting the fear of what's really out there, is never really given. Nor does everyone seem entirely happy with their world. Other than that, though, I have no complaints as most of the characters were very likeable and well developed for a one-shot.
Enjoyment: (10)
Read this in one day(It's a one-shot, afterall!), and I truly loved it! I personally think that finishing it all at once is best, since then when everything is explained everything is fresh on your mind and you can still catch the foreshadowing and piece everything together after it's all been given. I really wished Kaori Yuki would have stretched this a little longer! Haha
Overall: (10)
Mysterious, good characters, excellent art, and wonderfully told! I really think this is a masterpiece and one of my favorite one-shots that I've read so far! read more

Both are by the same manga-ka, as such both are serious gothic pieces. Camelot Garden is very short (one chapter) but it is a very interesting, fascinating read

Both deal with romance and mystery and the general atmosphere is really similiar, although the plotlines are not. Both are heart wrenching in a way and will leave you feeling like you witnessed the story of a millenium.
