The overall premise was very interesting... although I predicted the end from the MAL summary. But I liked the concept of two people being "linked" together. Overall, it was definitely worth the read.

I personally loved the art and thought it was charming. Don't get me wrong, I've seen much more beautiful mangas than this one, but something about the simplicity of the drawings was really pleasant. The people were proportionate, which is more than most mangas can boast.

I felt the characters didn't get developed enough, and the ending was a little rushed. But very few one-shots have fully-developed ... plots.

Honestly, I just gave it 7s on everything. This was my first one-shot that I ever read and I was a bit disapionted with it.

story-I thought that the story line sounded so good but i wasn't as spectacular as I thought. It starts of with a begoning that really does catch your attention. She wakes up and has this misterious red string attatched to her. Like I said it really did have a good start. When she finally finds out what the string it attactched to, i was like yeah this will be a great oneshot! But it really went downhill from there. After ... that it felt like it jumped around to much, it felt like it all was happening to fast and it was all so sudden. But I will admit, I sort of liked the ending.It had a bit of an interesting twist, like it was almost slightly different then what you expected

art-I liked the art. It was a bit different then normal art. I read in a different review that it was the Korean style so thats why it was slightly different. I havd never seen that before but it made the manga look realistic. I personally still prefer the japanese style of art but it was cool to see something different.

character- i liked the characters i only sort of liked. with most mangas I read I find something about the characters I don't like. I thought They were a bit dull. It's not that they were emotionless but not a wide range of expression was shown. She never really looked into where the string had come from and if it would be there for ever of if it could be removed. She simply accepted the situation. The person she was attatched to just did the exact same. There was no fighting back or anything, it was like they implied that they were defeated imediatly.

enjoyment- I think I have made It fairly clear that this manga had it pro's and con's but overall it was alright and if you need something to pss the time this is a quick read and to some extent, enjoyable. Although it was slightly unoriginal, it had its intresting parts that kept you reading.

If you are sitting idle, wondering if something like "fate" or "destiny" really exists, make sure to read this oneshot!
It starts out of the ordinary, and disappears the same way, leaving a big impact in your head via the last few pages! Something that leaves you asking for more..

The characters are very refined and dialogues to the point. No need to keep re-pondering over whats going on, everything comes out as clear as the Red Thread :)

P.S: I could see the thread too ;)
