My sweet Rui!! I adore his character so much, but I feel like he deserves better than the guy he ended up with. Although I didn't wholly dislike the other guy's character, maybe a longer story would have helped develop him a bit beyond older-heartbroken-drunkard. Maybe I'm off base here? 4/5 Stars because nobody deserves precious angel Rui unless they're amazing too.

How unfortunate it was that I had merely glanced at the first few pages and decided to go back to my more preferred artistic style to read several months ago. I'm glad I went back to read this. The story is beautiful, dark, and captivating. It's easy to feel transported to a different world, one with poignant poetry and flowing, inky figures which contrasts the colorful cast of characters all taking place in a bizarre circus setting. I cannot recommend this enough, both for the strangely beautiful imagery and the incredibly deep story: 5/5 Stars.
