Story (10) - The story is outstanding and for many reasons. I'm going to say it now, but the foreshadowing is out of this world. The author hid so much information in front our own eyes, yet the majority of us weren't able to see it. Then, when the detail was revisited, it would amaze you at how well it worked (both in the writing and foreshadowing part.) The pacing (to me,) was perfect and I felt that every chapter was important to the plot in its own way. The symbolism was well thought out and really open to interpretation, which I really like because it invokes discussion.
Art (9) - Now don't get me wrong, the art was amazing, but I only gave this part a 9 because, at times, I couldn't make out what was happening in the story. Maybe it's just me being a relatively new manga reader, but I think some of us can agree that some panels were a bit too graphic (and not in that way.)
Character (10) - The characters. Wow. Just wow. The characters are what (in my opinion) blew up this manga. You see how much they struggle, how much they go through and you see how much they change because of it. I think that's why many people are attached to some of these characters. Not to mention some of their inner dialogue. It really makes you reconsider some stuff. (P.S. Seeing the changes happen right before your eyes really hits you there and makes you go >O<)
Enjoyment (10) - I really had a lot of fun reading this manga. Every page led you on to read more. Whenever I would finish a volume, I would always need a moment to review everything because sometimes it was too much to digest at once. Some cliffhangers made you go WHAAAT or NOOOOO. Overall, I had a lot of fun reading and I think you would too.
I would definitely recommend this to someone wanting to start reading manga or even if someone just wants an interesting read!
