Nobody has written a review of this? I guess this shall be my first Review ;)
This series is rather short, but honestly very enjoyable! I like the characters and Onda's determination is very inspiring~!

Some points didn't have the deserved ending, but I'll let them passa because I know there's a series of Onda on High School releasing today (Sayonara, watashi no cramer). But you don't have to worry about having to read the new series, this one have a good closure and it's a history read more |
