Preliminary (30/92 chp)
I really love this story so far and it has quickly become on of my favorites. It's a good mix of romance, mystery, and drama, coupled with gorgeous art and a captivating storyline.

While it does contain many clichés, they work well with the story and add seasoning. I really love how the setting shows the traditional side of noble families in modern day Japan, as opposed to the city setting that appears in most mangas that take place in the modern day. The story provides a lot of insight on Japan's rich culture as well, making the story even more interesting.

Another thing I love is how the story revolves around wagashi, which is something that makes the story unique and interesting by adding a spin to the rather clichéd plot line. The element of mystery is also executed beautifully, with numerous twists and turns leaving you both confused, surprised, and itching for more.

While the start of Nao and Tsubaki's relationship seemed a bit rushed with little to no development, as the story progressed, it began to unfold and develop nicely. Despite his rather cold persona, you can really see how much Tsubaki cares about Nao deep inside.

The story conveys the characters emotions beautifully, taking the reader on a rollercoaster of fear, sadness, happiness, curiosity and more.

This definitely isn't a series for everyone, however I think it would appeal to those who like dramas or telenovelas. It won't leave you completely awe inspired, however it does take you on a fun experience of watching the story play out with all the twists and turns in the series.
