I bought the first volume of this manga years ago because of the beautiful art. And the story twinged at my heart.
But now, after reading everything, I feel like I was wrong to have thought everything would be ok. It's just very sad.
I heard that, like Under the Glass Moon, the original korean publisher had a financial crisis & mass-cancelled several series. I would hope that, like CLAMP with Legal Drug, she would find a new publisher & continue the series under a new title.
I've been waiting for translations of this manga throughout 6-7 years.
I'm so angry at the way this turned out that I want to cry.
I wanted to like this manga, but there are a lot of things that just settle with my sense of morals. I also feel like any character development went out the window.
It had so much potential. I really really loved the art (though sometimes, all the characters looked too similair and the ukes a bit too feminine). I thought everything looked beautiful. I've read Boy Princess by this artist, and thought that it might follow the lines of that. Even in that manga, it had things that were cruel. But this manga just... where's the love? The compassion? Most of the time, it doesn't even make sense.
But I feel cheated.
This manga just.. it just feels terrible. Am I right in thinking this was? Am I too firm a believer in true love? I'm not sure anymore. I feel so sad.
