I'm not sure whether Black Torch was originally planned to be a short series, or if it got cancelled and then the author was left trying to pull together something into a somewhat reasonable ending. Either way, the flow of the story was very inconsistent and the characters were so empty and barely used in the progression that they may as well have not even been there. There were many instances of moments where a scene would build up, only to fall flat without a climax or any sort of payoff.
The art style is absolutely beautiful, and the reason I picked up the series initially. It's a shame that the story itself was rather hollow. But, if you want something that's easy to read and short, with gorgeous art and an okay story, you may well enjoy Black Torch.
