The story is heavy but the art tries to keep it lighthearted. It had to potential to be among my "serious, dark, and thought provoking" list, but the story focused more on drama than combatting psychological issues. So it just touched the surface and stayed true to its shoujo tag. Still a good read.

This is the most precious piece of fluff I have ready AND it also touches on very serious issues that Japanese culture is dealing with right now in the face of increasing globalization. I just love this, story, art, the facial expressions, it is freaking perfect LOVE THIS AUTHOR!
