The rating and review are for the whole (uncompleted) series.

Read the 1st volume back in 8th grade, I quickly attached to this story since the characters are majority on their 8th grade also. But unlike my friends who love this story for it's romance, the hormonless 14 years old me love this story for it's mere astounding artwork. I mean, can't you see how beautiful Sugisaki-sensei's drawing is? It was hand down amazing! The detail, the panels coordinating, the characters, all of them were beautiful! The story setting also beautiful, with all of those surrealist theme around the town.

As for the story, I'm just getting attached in the 7th volume, in The Second Hand of Time stage. with Krad there, the story getting more interesting--just say that I love that psycho angel more than the notorious Dark, and even the host (Hiwatari) was handsome! Pretty bad boys? My taste! LOL.

I found the first two volumes at a local book store for a couple bucks so decided to revisit this series. The flow of the art is kind of all over the place but overall it was a fun nostalgic trip.

Poorly paced and lacking good character development. How rare is it that an anime is better than the manga series? ☹️

Manga Status: Ongoing - On Hiatus?

Published English Volumes/Chapters Read: N/A
Chapters Read Overall: N/A

Thoughts: I vaguely remember watching a few episodes a looooong time ago, which is what prompted me to buy this copy from my library's used book sale months ago. 50 cents so how could I resist?? It looks promising, but I am aware that not all the available Japanese volumes were translated into English.

So confusing...maybe it was just the translators, but wow, this was confusing. The art was eh, and just...I'll keep reading, because the MC seems cute, but the next book REALLY has to be better.

I thought that this manga was pretty good. I loved the way the art was done, and Wiz is completely adorable ^_^ I also have a new favorite character for mangas: Dark. I shall be enjoying his part in this series more than the rest, but it's enough to make me soooo excited for the next book. And excited to start watching the anime show. Ohemgee, I bet it will be amazing. High hopes for the rest of the series!

From my blog Auntie Spinelli Reads

This is another one of my favorites! I absolutely LOVE this series! The main reason? This guy right here:



DARK MOUSY. Sexy phantom thief. *swoon* He's one of my top 3 favorite manga crushes ever! I love him so much.♥
And of course the cute lil furry guy on his shoulder - Wiz! He's freaking adorable, I love him too! Plus he transforms into Dark's wings, it's awesome. I want a Wiz stuffie so bad, haha.




I love the plot of this one, too. Riku and Risa are twins, and Dark and Daisuke are two halves of the same person, and they have this crazy love square going on (not in a bad way, I promise)...it's great! I love that Riku makes Dark change and Risa makes Daisuke change.
Side note, I forgot how much Risa pissed me off. She's so shallow and superficial! It drove me crazy.

If you enjoy manga and love shoujo, I highly suggest this one! The series is AMAZING, and it gets better as it goes on. Plus it has some of the best art I've ever seen in a manga.


ASSESSMENT
Plot: 5/5
Art: 5+/5
Originality: 5/5
Characters: 5/5
Pace: 5/5
Cover: 4/5
