I’ve had this manga series for almost 20 years and have yet to read the whole thing through. It’s time for me to get to it! I really enjoy the setup of the first volume - I think it has a great pace, sets up the story nicely without moving too fast or too slow. I also like the mirror between the 2 worlds - what happens to Miaka is reflected on Yui. The artwork is so incredibly detailed and adds so much to the overall story. I’m excited to read through the whole series!
