chlorine's Manga

It was cute, but it wasn't super good. I loved the concept, an Angel falling in love with a Demon is very classic. And while it did take me a while to understand the plot twist near the end, I did really like that too—the added layer of angst was just great, if perhaps a little needlessly convoluted.

Considering the story revolves around Angels and Demons, I do wish that the story used that imagery a bit more. By the end of the story the religious motifs—which were already incredibly small—had all but vanished. Just from an aesthetic standpoint, it would've been visually interesting to see the Angel have more panels where you can either see his wings or he has an illusion of wings, or at least a halo. The same goes for the Demon, who actually gets nothing whatsoever; the demon imagery in this story is limited purely to . . . Robes, for some reason?

As mentioned before, I really liked the plot twist near the end. Before it happened I was actually already thinking how odd it was that we hadn't really seen the Demon fall in love with the Angel, it was more like a love-at-first-sight thing, it just already is the status quo. So there being that history there already was a really good plot twist, and I loved the angst of how them being together just destroys each other. The fact that the Angel is willing to deal with dying just to be with him was the type of romanticized shit I live for.
