There goes another anime that I've really enjoyed. I felt like its been ages since I had another one that really can suck up my time with. I've literally finished the whole series without stopping. I don't usually write reviews , but I just had to write this one.

What's more , it is a Shoujo Anime where you expect a handsome prince pops out fells in love at first sight to a not famous princess . Well no. A Shoujo, but not the typical ones.

Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii (The World is Still Beautiful) really caught my attention after watching the 1st episode. Not just ... the 1st, each of the episodes just had its way to make you continue watching . I tend to get very excited when each episode have its climax. Guess what? Every single episode has achieved that. To me, a good anime means craving for the next episode and the other.

Story + Character 9/10 - Since this anime contains fantasy with anime logic. I'll go with the flow and not to mix whats real and whats not. As how the story flows , I fell in love with both the MCs. It is beautiful looking how these two progress after each episode. Its amazing that the story understand's a viewer mind. They make it in a way, that all viewers would want. Simply amazing.

Art + Sound 8/10 - Coming from a 2014 Anime, Art was good. Ah yes, the openings, endings, the song that the Female MC sung. - Tender Rain. Everything just fits . Listening twice is more than enough to love the song. I also love how the Female MC sang the song - tender rain. Judging from her character , don't you think it fits just fine? Gave an 8 , as you might realize the song 'tender rain' has been used quite often at the start of the first few episodes. But later that, the mood was spot on, just right . Instead, you wont get tired listening it over again.

Enjoyment 10/10 - Not much to say here, I've clearly enjoyed myself after watching this anime. You can tell that everything was planned perfectly to make such a good romance story. Good way to attract a viewer's mind.

Overall 9.5/10 - I don't see why such Romance/Shoujo Anime like this , is not well known. You may consider this as a typical Shoujo Anime since this is kind of romance that most people wants. All I can say that this anime is more than a level higher than average. Definitely one of the best shoujos animes out there. You will definitely like this.

This is all based on my own opinion . No hard feelings . Any feedbacks is appreciated .

~~~~~~~*This review contains a FEW spoilers*~~~~~~~~

When I came upon this manga, i saw a romance tag under it. So I gave it a shot. (Im a Typical romance genre reader.)

I would say that in whole , the manga focuses more on the story. And for the romance , comes in second. If is not for the romance , i might.. had lost interest in it. Not saying the story is not good, but im typically not into 'horror' types. Even for a 'horror' stories that i dislike among, this manga becomes one of my favourites.

I will try to keep the review as short and ... as less spoilers as possible.

Story : 8

The storyline had actually made me read on non-stop till the end. It gives me a sense of urge to find out. That the full series of the manga occupied my whole free time. Partly of the reason why i've enjoyed it.

In this manga , we have the Main male protagonist , Teiichi Niiya who is the only guy in the Paranormal Investigation Club. - solves supernatural stuffs such as 'ghosts' etc etc. (in the later chapter, he recruited new members). While the main female protagonist, 'Dusk Maiden' - 'Yuuko' who've died 50 years ago in the school, thus a 'ghost' , which the rumors in the School spread as 'One of the seven ghost mysteries' .

Teiichi, was solving 'One of the seven ghost mysteries' . How they met were in one of the rooms and saw each other after looking though the mirror coincidentally. Only Teiichi, was able to see her. (The story did not explain why Teiichi was the only one that can see her) (In the later part , there would be another girl who can also see her.)
And this is when their story starts.

Art: 10

Wonderful Art. Characters were well drawn . Even the ghosts drawn looked scary enough to freak me out.

Characters: 8

Overall, all of the characters are kinda cute which makes it look like a normal School life ROMCOM . The female protagonist is my most favorite . She still acts so cheerful and lives like a normal high school student. Even feeling jealous at other girls with Teiichi, leading her to seduce him . While the male protagonist is quite shy when it comes to relationships . But super serious when it comes to solving mysteries.

Enjoyment: 9

Really enjoyed it . And the extra chapter was a bonus. Makes me feel like I've really completed it rather than feeling unsatisfied. Satisfied with the romance, equally the mysteries are well-ed entertained. And a the moments where Yuuko is seducing Teiichi . Love it.

Overall: 9

I find it compatible with the horror , mystery and romance. They actually blend in quite well! Although some Manga(s) with mysteries alone are really good. And oh, btw, theres a little ecchi in it. So enjoy the fanservice!

Thus , as a Romance reader myself, this manga wont let you down.
