A very complex and twisted story that starts off quite simply. I certainly didn't expect it to turn out as it did. Expect incestuous relationships, sadistic behaviour, manipulation, greed, possessiveness and anything else that makes for intense drama.
A solid read. The usual poor man taken under the wings of rich and highly manipulative man, who expects more than just normal cleaning service. Even though that is the basic structure, there is quite a good amount of angst and the story is compelling. On a rainy day, it makes for a good re-read.
Where to begin...It starts off with misery and ends in bliss, but the middle...oh dear...it just kept getting worse and worse for the protagonist. Still, it's the kind of story that is enjoyable to read.
Very solid and realistic story set in the early 1900s. Artwork is beautiful as expected from this mangaka.
Eh???! What did I just read? This is seriously twisted...I'm still not sure how I feel about it, but I gave it a good rating, so I know I enjoyed it...I'm just sure why. I'm not a big fan of this mangaka's art style (the chins of the semes bother me to no end). Still, if you don't mind being briefly disturbed, then you might enjoy reading this.
Very cute and simple story with a solid plot. There are some darker elements to it.
It's fluff. Need a decent historical romance to read? Read this.
There is a bit of a fantastical element to this story, but whatever. This story is seriously twisted. The plot is amazing so far...it's just seriously twisted and very very very graphic. Not for the faint of heart. If you cannot stomach rape and other forms of psychological and physical abuse, then you shouldn't read this.
Simply put: great story. Only 10 chapters.
Just wow...Basically, this is a novel...and pretty damn good one. At times, like most novels, there are parts that seem excessive (unnecessary), but it's still so very good. Must read.
