Has any one ever read this Manga? There is no review for it. I was wondering if there is anyone else out there that has read it?

Acctually now that I have read a little more of it there is alot of laungage. The plot and story line are really good but the laungage is really bad. It is really too bad that a good story line to be ruined by cursing.

I have only read bits and pieces of it. Its not my favorite I guess. If I remember correctly there was implied sex stuff in it and I guess that turned me off. *shrugs*

Well, I haven't read the manga, but I have seen the anime which is pure shojo and I think they are pretty similar. There were some themes at times that seemed to belittle women, well no they did belittle women. There are some almost rapes, some sexual elements in which the female charactars are responded to inappropriately. It seems like they don't think it is a big deal. That was my biggest problem, but it isn't that bad and the charactars develop/mature sufficiently that they learn their actions were wrong somewhat. It was still one of my fav. stories though. I'm going to start the manga where the anime left off soon.
