Review: This manga starts out really bad. There’s too much info dumping and none of it manes any sense. I put this manga down after the first chapter and intended not to pick it up again. But my friend loves this series so much I decided to give it another chance. I was surprised to find that the manga does get a little better. Not a whole lot of explanation about what’s going on is given but I understood enough to follow the story. The art is nice too. The color pages have interesting designs. I do not like that every girl appears to be crazy or stupid but boy’s love manga isn’t know for having great female characters anyway. I want to see where all of this is going so I’ll probably give the series another try.
