Hum, a solid 3.5/5, honestly I have mixed feelings.
1. The story is a little convoluted, but definetly a eye catcher. A little like a car crash you can't stop looking at, and I just get into it I guess.
2. I did notice the art change, and it definetly gets better, but sometimes I did confuse the characters, and who was who. So stronger characters design would have been good.
3. One thing that I don't understand and does not make sense narratively is how fast Kirin gets attached to the MLI (Main love interest). I think it would have been more compelling to have him stay by his side a 100% out of necessity at first (Aka revenge for his sister) and then, once the revenge is done, 50% loyalty for having been helped, and 50% as a self sacrifice/realisation that if he leaves, the MLI would have just killed more and faster. These feelings of love, I think, come too fast and too suddenly. Obviously, the above feelings of necessity/loyalty/responsibility are there in the story but they get muddied by that random 'love'/attraction that is random (to me) and sudden. It would have been even better to have the love come later, and maybe confuse him and be a greater story arc.
4. For some reason, I would have LOVED to see MLI mom a little more. I think her very brief apparence was very interesting, and I would ahve love to see her interact with Kirin more.
