W-woahh... that was messed up... I came in here expecting some good wholesome Alien girl X Human girl action, but not this exactly...? but if these are the types of Aliens that are out there, I'd like my own Alien Loli.......friend please!
There may be some spoilers because this "forbidden love" Shoujo-ai is rather short.

Story: 6
The setting is present day-type world where humans and strange winged Alien beings called "Entity A" live a troubled existence. In this world lives our MC Ai, who lives with her Mom. Their living situation is troubled, often leaving Ai sad, lonely and contemplative. On one of these type of days Ai almost wanders into traffic but is saved by a strange girl who suffers injuries whilst saving Ai. This is the start of many encounters between the pair and what should be a perfect friendship. But...her friend is an "Entity A" which humans are forbidden to coexist with (see that's the "forbidden" part I was talking about)
This is a tale of sadness, loneliness, neglect and jealousy, with...some cute moments but also... some dark and messed up moments too.
Art: 7
Artwork is excellent both of our MCs are very well-drawn and distinctive, with them each having their own different shadings. The background also is given alot of detail and shading! although it varies from expansive to minimum.
Only thing I didn't like were some of the panel sizes, some I thought were way too small, made it hard to see what was happening at times.
Character: 7
Ai seems a good girl, who just wants to please and be loved by her mother - her only close human companion. Ai seemed to have had health issues in her past and seems very absent minded at times.
Nike, the "Entity A" really acts like Ai's guardian angel, protecting Ai from threats great and small. Her only repayment seems to be spending time together with Ai.
A lot could be said about Ai's Mother... but that's major spoiler territory.
Enjoyment: 6 & Overall: 7
Some bits of this I liked a lot, especially seeing Ai so happy with a friend that she wanted so badly. But the second half of the work really shocked me to tears and made me feel sad a little. Also the ending I didn't quite understand either, there really needed to be a little more backstory and info.
A quite nice but dark Shoujo-ai that I'd recommend to those hardy enough to cope with some unsettling and upsetting moments.
