This is my first ever Manga book and I did enjoy what I had read. I want to thank my work friends for suggesting this to me because this did work really well. 

Initially I was very much struggling with the reading of this because it is a new format to me, but I actually got used to it pretty quickly and I got into the flow of the story as well. It was a really interesting premise and I really became attached to Yuji in the end. I feel as though what I read very lightly touches the surface of all of the characters and I know that there is a much deeper history to them that is to come. 

I did feel in places as though the plot was going over my head though. The lore behind the curses did confuse me at times and I feel as though it could have potentially been explained in the dialogue better? But potentially I just didn't understand it well and I should read it again. Also, I have been told that Manga does not always paint women favourably, but I just wish there were more female characters in this series. 

Overall though, this was good and I am going to continue with the series.
