I liked the art and the love story, but the plot left much to be desired.

I thought the story was super cute and the artwork is beautiful in this, but the final conflict was solved way too easily.

I find the art to be so cute and nice. I really liked the main character Nova as well. 

I felt like the romance was a little too quick. Even with history it is clear these two characters have not seen eachother in a while.

It would have been better if they kissed after the dream bit. Still fast paced but they started to know each other again.

I also feel like a cult was a little too serious to add into this story.

It felt out of place to me. Also it felt like there was little urgency

with how the Nanas kept renewing the binding.

And then suddenly Tam wants to go to the demon alone when all they had to do was wait 'till morning when all they've been doing is waiting.

It all just felt a little disjointed to me and I feel like this story would have benefited from a less serious plot and more focus on the romance.
