A story with so much promise it fills me with regret every time I remember its beginning and rage when I remember its ending.

I really enjoyed about 90% of the story. The art is good; it never felt awkward or lacking; nor did it impress me though. The characters were strong and vibrant; they really sold the world they inhabited. As for enjoyment, if you can read the whole story, chances are that you will either love it or hate it. Its not the kind of story you can read without caring about one way or another.

It made my heart race with anxiety, anger, despair read more

Okay, let me explain my scoring.

I love the art, it's a pretty fresh take on the 'harem' genre (it's rare to find harems centered around a female character), and most of the characters are pretty interesting, even if they start off as stereotypes. It does borrow HEAVILY from Utena, however, in terms of themes, a fairytale Greek chorus, and mechanics of the game played at the school, but it does switch it up enough to not be boring. There's also comparatively less fanservice than most harem manga.

However, there's a lot of things wrong with this manga, and 99% of them have to do with read more

minor spoilers, mostly for the dumb ass ending

when abusers cry that they're the real victims and the author paints them as victims of society is where i draw the f**king line

-forced to write a longer review, the ending is actually legitimately trash, glorifies self victimization and says it's ok to be a massive abusive piece of sh*t bc lol we live in a society, romanticises forgiving people who prolly shouldn't be forgiven just like that, no further questions taken at this time

Art was pretty cute, though to read more

The story of this manga is based on "Paradise Story" which is often included in the story and well-made to cover the whole events in the story.

This manga is having a slow start and will leave you different perception more you dwell with the story. It's not a simple one but full of surprise and deep thought.

The art is greatly drawn and kept like that until the end. Characters, battles, and events are drawn nicely throughout the series.

Throughout the story, I don't like how they abuse the girls in the story, making my enjoyment so low but more you know story, this story read more
