I don't really like one-shots but this one is quite nice. That's what you would expect from the author of Elfen Lied.

I liked it. Nice quick story of bravery. I was kinda mad at the brother because of his lifestyle. When I first saw him I thought he was goona ruin the story, but I guess it all worked out.

I gave it a four, but there were too many extraneous elements brought up that never saw the light of day again. It left you feeling the story wasn't finished.

I thought it could have been better had the tone / style been a bit more mature / serious. still a good one shot though.

Really awful. Here's how I tagged it in my mangalist;

"The lack of logic and common sense is bad enough, but mixing childish anime conventions with emotional life and death situations is always a recipe for disaster."

The only thing saving it from a 1/10 was the unintentional comedy of the girl routinely jumping 30 or 40 feet horizontally.

Exactly what I thought. Eh, I did like the art though and the characters weren't all that bad - but the illogical situations and everything just killed it for me. Nonetheless, the ending was cute :)



Amazing sig set thanks to -DraGonZ-

Nice one shot. Action based, a story of bravery. I just can't believe Kumiko became those kid's mom. Weird.

I liked it. Even if Kumiko did some imposible things, like those jumps, I really enjoyed this one shot ( especially the ending). I rated it with 8. ^_^

Ok, I'm sorry, but am I the only one that didn't get the end? What did the kid mean?

Seconded. I read this while listening to "The Priest and the Matador" by Senses Fail. It was an enjoyable reading experience.

I liked that one shot.

I thought she had died at the end when they were at the grave.
