Review -
I've read all of the manga Volumes are available in scanlated form. I found the story took surprising and welcomed twists and was a delight to read through all 24 volumes. It is definitely one of my favorite stories and one I recommend to all manga readers both new and old to the world of graphic novels. While I don't normally approve of air headed girls in this manga it really was one of the only character types to truly work and created the necessary interaction to create an amazing story. I was sorry to see it end.

Definitely in my book a 9/10
Life, Liberty and the pursuit of creativity. There are a thousand voices in my head, each with a story to tell.

The ending definately disappointed me in some ways, but overall it was beautifully crafted. One of my favorite mangas to date. 9/10
