The reason why I scored this manga so low was because it is a lolicon....but I didn't know that until I read it. Unless you like lolicon don't go by my word because I'm biased from the start.
Story: (2) I disliked what was happening to that poor little girl.
Art: (8) The art is good. Nothing special but it isn't terrible.
Character: (3) I was screaming at the main guy character WAIT TEN YEARS the whole time and he didn't listen. I bet his morals differ from mine...
Enjoyment: (1) I did not enjoy the "love" between the main characters or the story...
Overall: (4) I

i dont often rate so low (5 is my usual low rating when i didnt enjoy something) but its made me want to write a review simply to put this one into the 'big red flashing warning sign' category for others interested. It's one of those ones where you tip toe into the plot with a big psychological shield.
The review above very accurate and says everything, so i ll keep it short. This is nothing short of child abuse, or at least from what i read. I can understand a young girl falling in love with an older man and i dont mind it ...

When I was younger and I didn't know what hentai or lolicon was, I thought this was super lit. Now I'm older and I was completely appalled.
It wasn't just the lolicon, (if you're into that, I guess) but it's the abuse, the manipulation and the pure disgust that I draw from like, all of the characters. Shiren: Massive pedophile, but that's not his biggest problem. He constantly abuses Shinju, both sexually and mentally. He calls her a mannequinn, literally just because he's a jerk.

Rarely does manga invoke strong human feelings of empathy. But when it does, it shows the ability of the author and illustrator to construct a work which undermines conventions.

What I do believe, and will stand by, is that low scores aren't justified for this manga. For those who feel sorry for the characters, for those who hated the plot - I believe ... |
