+ great depth of story and characters
+ there's more to each character than you'd expect
+ no cheap clichés or boring romance: this manga has some great and unconventional plot twists
+ very well thought out story, really feels like you're solving a puzzle
+ great development of the main character
+ strong life lessons and messages
+/- pages are quit text heavy for a shojo, this can be hit or miss depending on your preference
- rather weak artstyle that somehow fits its narrative (empty eyes, feeling of nostalgia)
- sometimes it can be hard to tell whether you're viewing a past or current event as it jumps a lot
- ending was rather disappointing and dragged my rating down a bit
- a certain important character was kinda dismissed at the end, it feels like all efforts of the main character on them went nowhere
Overall a very niche and underrated series that doesn't fail in delivering a breathtaking chase for answers. The revelations are very satisfying and will make you keep coming back for more. Definitely worth a read, although the ending might not be the best.
