I was very late to the party in watching Run With the Wind, the anime, and falling in love and celebrating such a beautiful story and characters but after I've watched it, the love for it was all consuming and immediate. It fast became one of my favorite anime of all time.
So it was with high expectations that I went into this book and although not disappointing, the truth of the fact remains that it could not surpass the anime, or even just reach it. The book is still good for sure, but it could have been great.
