ps. no major spoilers--->
honestly, Frustration was the only feeling I could get throughout the majority of the volumes, frustration at my self for still reading this crap and at the author for bulying these characters. What drew me in was the drama of this story, they over the top unpredictable drama. however, the more and more I read the story my more depressed I grew, especially concerning Hina's feelings. I don't think there is a single person that read through this and did not the the author had it out for Hina, as if
...
she hated the character. Loving someone relentlessly is not easy, but what Hina did through the story was impossible, but maybe thats the point T_T. love is powerful?
characters: 7
My major grime with the story is just that the author spends 40% of the manga on characters not directly related to the progression of the story. this made it harder to read at times but in some cases gave me a greater understanding for who the characters were. The main cast, hina, rui, and natsu were given so much life throughout the story, however hina was the best written character throughout the whole story. Right person Wrong time, type of situation arose between Hina and natsu and it was up to her to make that decision, many decisions, sacrificing her own selfish needs for love for the future of the one she loves, over and over and over. Despite Hina being such a good character, overall I cant really say the characters in the series were that good. I mean, we had unnecessary characters littered throughout the story, simply to make Rui jealous or to ad another fucked up dimension to the manga. he goes on a blind triple date and picks up a drug addict only to be saved by his yakuza gay friend, Does that not sound ridiculous? of course I loved it however.
Story: 7.5
Wow. just Wow. I have never... No one has ever seen a story start out like that, plus points for being completely new and unique but.. The story lacks in pacing. During the manga, certain things would happen so fast and then you would get the most useless side character development arc for 5 chapters straight. If the story was 50-70 chapters shorter, I feel as if this manga could have been perfect. It could have simply been a tragic story on the pains of love, but no, its that, but 70 extra chapters of unnecessary dialogue and characters thrown randomly throughout the story. also Rui and Natsu's trip to the cabin in the winter. I give it a 7.5 because it really could have been perfect, and touched my heart in that fact but ruined it with adding toooooo much.
art: 7.5
really... nothing special. But it does get an extra half points because of the wide panel shots that can be really, shocking, beautiful and disturbing throughout the series. My only issue with the wide panel shots is that they do it for almost every unnecessary kiss scene.
enjoyment: 10
I have a love hate relationship with the series. The tragic story of Hina, akin to 'garden of words' , and the coy romance between rui and natsu grabbed my attention and my apreciation for these characters deeply. Because of this deep appreciation, every dramatic drop, every wide panel, every drop of blood had me appalled, confused, and excited, nothing short of perfection for how I personally enjoyed the series. I also cried closer to the end brrrr.
OVERALL: 8/10.
I can understand people giving this a 6 or a 7, but anything above an 8 you are lost, and anything below a 6, you probably couldnt get through the more weirder parts of the story, overall missing a great and tragic romance. just because of some niche dislike you shouldnt give a series a 1 or 2 out of ten with a long ass review.
