I got this book for free via Netgalley for a review.

I picked this one because the cover caught my eye, it's gorgeous and the blurb sounded great. I loved it! Once I started it I couldn't put it down until I had finished the volume, I was so hooked. The plot just pulls you along from the very beginning.

I loved the characters, particularly the protagonist, Blue. This book was the perfect mix for me of cute characters and dark situations.

The world building seems really cool and I'm keen to explore it further in future volumes.

The art is just gorgeous the whole way through, but especially the coloured pages at the beginning.

I will definitely be picking up the next volume when it's available.

Want to thank Netgalley and publishers for giving me the chance to read this book.

I loved this manga. It was cute and sad and the action was pretty great. I am cheering Blue on. I have my theories on things but as of now I am just enjoying the ride. This is a series I NEED to read till the end.

Thanks to Netgalley and Kodansha Comics for providing a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

I don't even know where to start with this one. The art style was incredible, it is one of the most beautifully drawn manga I have ever seen. The story? I am so ready to continue this one in volume 2, because I am very intrigued to see what direction it's going to take. 

I highly recommend checking this manga out!!

Usually when things are like, "for fans of x, you'll like this!" A Kingdom of Quartz cites, "for fans of Witch Hat Atelier..." and I can actually see where they're coming from and don't... disagree? The art is BEAUTIFUL with a swoopy, varied-lined-style that is reminiscent of Witch Hat while being all its own thing with a divided world between angel-esque folks and demons, an early series tragedy that sets the protagonist into motion to train up, and a spirit of hope and gumption. 

I actually really liked this, I loved the art and the character designs and I'm really interested in the lore of the world and how things will develop with Blue's secrets -- both known to her and those who care for her and those she hasn't yet discovered. I'm definitely going to keep an eye on this for future volumes.

Thank you to Kodansha and NetGalley for the eARC!

Thanks Netgalley and publisher for allowing me to read the first volume of this manga! 

Wowza the artstyle is so literally stunning like my god, Blue is such a cute character like the amount of detail the artist has put through in this manga, it’s like fine wine 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

Action scenes are also gorgeous too, this manga reminds me of Haibane Renmei a bit!
