Preliminary (2/? chp)
This is more of an expansion on the synopsis rather than a true review since I've only read the first couple of chapters due to the translations being so recent. However, I hope with my "review" I can add some information that might intrigue others to read this so-far-so-good series. ^-^

STORY:
As previously stated, the story is based in a high school setting where the students must fight for survival. What we read and learn is that the high school is unknown to the majority of the public due to supernatural forces. If you can see the school floating among the clouds on an island, than you are one of the chosen ones who are accepted, otherwise you are ignorant to it's existance. Once a student is accepted into the school they are given the power to choose a special ability that will aid them in coming battles against supernatural beings. The students must fight these battles everday for a whole year before they may graduate, failure means death.

The story is unique in a sense that it hasn't been done yet, but there are similarities out there. So far it has been set up nicely and I'm eager to see what shall unfold.

ART:
The art is awesome. It was the cover art that caught my eye before the manga was even published. I stumbled upon Gangan Online -a Square Enix project that is an online manga reading site where the story is published -saw Momiji (main protagonist) and knew I had to read this one. So yeah the art is awesome.

CHARACTER:
Well as I've previously stated I've only read a couple of chapters so it would be unfair for me to critique the character development. I can say that so far it would seem that both main protagonist are going to be doing some soul searching to discover who they are and finding inner strength to face the problems at hand.

OVERALL:
All in all I've really enjoyed this thus far. I had my hopes high for this one and Karuna didn't disappoint -pretty good manga considering I believe it to be Karuna's first published work. But as I've said so many times, I've only just begun, so please oh please don't let me down. ^-^
