Review:
Oh, how I love this manga.... Though it's
just 5 chapters long, I could read it three times without getting bored of it,
because it's quite complicated and I just understood it the second time I read
it. Now I believe I've already read it like five times, just because I love
it's wickedness :D
I actually want to tell a lot more about
this story but since it's a mystery I will spoil it... anyway in this manga there are a lot of
surprising events, lots of people are not who you think they are and even in
the last few pages the story is a twist. I really would recommend reading it at
least twice because it's cool to see the hidden like 'messages'.
I think I also really loved it since it
includes three of my favourite genres (tragedy, psychological, romance, though
the romance is lacking) especially the psychological part is really good in this
manga.
The art is also very nice, quite simple,
more like most animes are drawn, but I think it fits the story and I like it
more than in most mangas with seinen.
For the ones who are into it, it also
contains a bit of blood and stuff, not too much, but what do you expect for a
manga of 5 chapters.
Overall it's really good, you should just go
and read it :D

Some
things about manga for non-manga readers :P :
Manga is a Japanese cartoon or comic. There
are lots of them in all kind of different genres (really from porn to manga for
little girls). Of most mangas there is a new chapter released every month, so
that's why some are ongoing (it also can be that the translation group is a bit
slow. DON'T EVER GET ANGRY BECAUSE OF THAT THOUGH! Manga's are translated by
volunteers, and not very much people speak both English and Japanese well
enough to translate them. If your bothered by it, join such a group! They are
always looking for new members! Also editors and cleaners are needed!).
If you are too lazy to read, of most mangas
there is an anime to watch ;)
If
you consider reading manga pay attention! Manga is written from right to left!
some
terms:
Shoujo= Manga for mostly teenage girls (it
can be very childish, it can be really mature)
Shounen= Manga for mostly teenage boys
(example: Naruto )
Josei= Manga for older women (the manga site
says: late teenage and adult audiences, this is usually because the characters
in the manga are not in high school anymore, this doesn't mean it's not fun to
read if you are younger)
Seinen= Manga for older men (also for late
teenage and adult audiences, also usually fun to read if you're younger)
School life= is sometimes quite interesting
because the japanese school life seems very different than what I am used to
Shoujoai= girls love
Shounenai= boys love
Yuri = let's just say: the more advanced
version of girls love
Yaoi= the more advanced version of boys love
