One of my all time favorites and also underrated manga. The story starts off very cliche and uses many repetitive tones and plots like any other manga out there. BUT I also feel that it deserves a lot of leeway considering that it is a mid-90's manga.

[7/10] ART
The art is not as pleasant and polished in comparison to what we are all used to, and can take a bit of time to adjust (like I did). However, I want to make note that as the story progresses, the illustrations IMPROVED!!

[9/10] STORY
The story and plot are not exceptionally divine and different, but it does ... not take away the charm from the characters. I really enjoy a manga that can make me feel attached to the characters, giving them all my support and get soppy when their wishes don't come true. I also like that it has GOOD RESOLUTION and that gives me the satisfaction of a true fairy tale shoujo.

[10000000/10] OVERALL LOVELOVELOVE
Overall, if you are interested in reading it, stick with it for the first few chapters--I know, the art will make you cringe a little but it'll be worth it.

Make me want to read it again writing this review.

Ideally I would so so so LOVE it if they could make this into an anime...so kickass.

Cheers.

VERY UNDERRATED!!

I remember stumbling on this series at my local library, it was a random volume 2--which I find odd even picking up since I hated reading out of order. I was completely drawn to it from that point on and couldn't wait until my holds would come, now this was before I had REAL internet...the dial-up stuff was running at my house; and I didn't even know scanlations was a thing--I was very young.

I love the authors art work and diverse characters. I remember being in middle school and hiding it under my desk because I couldn't wait to read it. There's so ... much nostalgia that I have for this series.

There's such good build up, climax, resolution, and conclusion. If you like complete and fulfilled closures, this would be it. There will be protagonists and antagonists, but by the end of it all, one feels very relatable and great sympathy for all the characters.

I don't know how else to convince anyone to read this series but it is one of my all time favorites! I don't understand how it's not an anime...a big loss really.
