☘ waidh ☘'s manga / #Rushed ending...(9)

That ending was a complete bummer...

Introduced characters we're never gonna see in a match...yup, this was axed....

That cursed final arc... （； ￣Д￣） It seems that Ohtaka-sensei paved a road for the grand finale but somehow veered off the track, and it made the last arc a mixed bag of sorts... it simply wasn't up to par with everything else.

The panels are incredibly mesmerizing...though, the inexplicably rapid wrap-up isn't quite as pleasing. Whilst the mangaka's illustrations are a sight to see, there's not much I can actually say about her writing. I enjoy them, to a certain extent, but her works aren't exactly what I'd call 'memorable'. Just my own two cents...you, yourself, might find her works to your liking.

There's mystery, adventure, drama and good ol' romance. We are exposed to different cultures and places leaving us hungry for more. I wanted to see more of a few arc-specific characters we were introduced to. A shame that didn't happen.

Kaji Eiri is at it again... The leads are undeniably a perfect pair. A recommendable manga, albeit with an abrupt ending, that is simply worth a reread.

Visually gorgeous...complete with that bishounen lead we all love. I do feel it could have been longer, seeing how the story seems to have been curtailed before it could be fully realized. I will forever be curious what that damaged, antiquated book contained. Also...there is obviously something more to her being forbidden to go aboveground (other than the fact that it's supposedly dangerous).

Given the way the story was going, it desperately needed fleshing out. But then again, it just wasn't popular enough for the magazine so 10 chapters it is.
