The artwork is stunning, but sometimes drops into some weird chibi-style design that doesn't suit the age/style of the characters at all.
There was also a HUGE glitch in my version (from Amazon) where I get to page 28 and pages 21-28 are repeated, before the story continues.
While I thought the concept was interesting, the characters were a bit flat, the artwork chopped and changed too often, for no particular reason. I've seen many yaoi/manga where the artwork switches to cutesy chibi for small panels where the attention to detail isn't easily kept, but that wasn't the case here.
There wasn't much to the story, though. I felt like it never went anywhere. We got a whole lot of Lucien's backstory, but not much that indicated what direction the story was heading.
