I can't believe I held off on reading this for so long because of comments about MC being annoying. She isn't annoying at all. She's a realistic character - funny, selfish, and kind (to some extent LOL) to the ones she loves. The art is pretty, and all the characters are equally interesting. Ray, Undine, and the dragon especially are SO CUTE. And the plot progresses at an excellent pace - not too fast, not too slow.
