yet another great story by Yamamori sensei...

The story is somewhat your typical school romance shoujo but done not from the typical shoujo mc. Takiguchi, Yoi is a boyish-looking girl that is often mistaken for a handsome man receiving her nickname prince, through her shoujo hero behavior yet having a feminine and cute side that is not often seen by the characters surrounding her. Ichimura, Kohaku is your everyday shoujo hero that is seen in other stories, a rich pretty boy that is surrounded by people trying to get close to him because of the money, however, do not let the shoujo trope take away from ... the character, he is refreshing to see. Like is to be expected like most of her other works, there is a love triangle.

The story is still pretty early so I'm looking forward for more chapters.


Yamamori sensei art style and the character design are outstanding for the type of story honestly. the characters feel their age yet a little unrealistic when they all look like models lol.

It's a good short story about a Human falling in love with a Vampire, well isn't that cliche? despite that, it was very enjoyable to read.

Humans and vampires coexist in society, Vampires at least within Teen society are seen as celebrities. This leads us to our main characters which when introduced are somewhat walking archetypes, Hyuga our vampire in question is your typical bad boy that doesn't really care for humans, and on the other hand, your typical good guy which is too kind for his own good yet by the end expand pass those archetype becoming rather different from their starting point.

bonus ... point:
I always like it when the art style goes well with the story and in this case, I feel the art style is perfect for it. Something about the art just gives it a nice touch.

Honestly, nothing but the Art is decent about this one.

few spoilers ahead

The story is a 1 at best, childhood friends become lovers well that was what we didn't see, instead, we get thrown into a 2 chapter prologue that bounces around the backstory and context for the main 5 chapters which start-up in a college classroom planning a trip to the place where changes the main characters relationship for the rest of the story..... with the most manga/anime cliche of "Fever makes me act up" one thing leads to another and then one of 2 lovers cheats,

one of the most unrealistic stories I ... have ever read, the only thing that salvages the story is its somewhat decent art. which despite the terrible excuse of a plot makes you want to at least finish it.

The story could have been better if it was a long series as I think been a short run took away everything because the plot moves fast, not staying or exploring the characters and their emotions to better portray this situation.

Overall the story was good, College guys relive their High school love after been apart for 3 years.

The Art just keeps getting better and you notice a great difference between Volume 1 and 4.

The Characters are a roller-coaster especially with Jin in Volume 3, volume 3 is where the story takes a twist exploring what happened with Jin during the 3 years he was away in New York, What I took issue with was the weird relationship dynamic between Jin and Alex, it added nothing but issues.

Hamura's character makes some questionable decisions because he is the typical character that doesn't speak his mind ... and would rather make his own interpretations of the situation though a few times with a reason.

Ok, I'm trying my best not to be as bias because as a super fan of the series that has basically watched and read all the canon manga up to date, I can't stand some of the decisions made for this series.

The story is 4

is disappointing, they introduce some new stuff to the series like no using helmets, men with assault rifles fighting saints, as I remember saints make cracks on the ground with a kick and blow the sky apart with their punches. Shun's depiction as female changes the original mythology; female Saints were forced to hide their faces in masks to renounce their ... femininity. The director and writers don't seem to have any kind of love or passion for the original Saint Seiya, the story feels childish. I had mixed feelings, and it also seems to forget that every bronze saint is related to each other, all bronze saint have the same dad

art is 6

it looks likes it was made to run on the PS3, 3DCG a quick and cheap way to make mediocrity, while some scenes do look good others just straight out suck

Sound 5

not the opening theme but the audio throughout the series was cheap, I can't describe the brain damage that it caused.

Characters 5

a lot of the character's personalities change, they feel dry. They don't feel like the ones I know, #NotMyShun

Enjoyment 4

I went in thinking it wouldn't be as bad, I saw the trailer and I was, it can't be as bad. Well, I thought wrong at least the trailer had better sound the show itself, is not worth the watch since I really can't see any reason for this to exist but if you enjoy kids show then you might like it. Personally, I don't as much I wish I had. it did gave me a feeling of nostalgia, so I went and started to rewatch the original series.

0verall 3

And Netflix managed again to completely destroy a good show again, childhood ripped apart, I know it's not the original but they could at least try and make a good one

now I would go and start a petition to let companies know not to sell the rights of the characters to Netflix, Netflix stay with your originals those are much better, except Kaz Kaan and his giant Toblerone, yes I'm looking at you Neo Yokio.

never thought I was gonna review this one, now my dislike was with the story ending

SPOILERS....... SPOILERS.....
so we get two volumes of the main protagonist stuck between the love she has for her Childhood friend/fake twin, you see Asuka and Tomaru were born on the same day and same hospital. Asuka and Tomaru are in High School, she wants to their separate way because they are always together so she decides to get a boyfriend. the relationship between these two characters is pretty weird. Due to an accident, Tomaru's parents die and he is taking in by Asuka's family but he then decides he is ... going to move out their relationship gets awkward but they fix it, eventually, Asuka confessed to Tomaru and he said they can't date because he thinks Asuka's are not the romantic type feeling, in the same chapter Asuka falls in love with another guy, Yokoyama.

Yokoyama has a band he asks Asuka to join as a singer, now this is where the story is a bit weird and unexpected, Volume 3 chapter 13-18 she starts to fall in love with another member of the band, Hisaichi starts to flirt with her since chapter 9, eventually she ended up dating him instead of the childhood friend Tomaru or The Band Guy Yokoyama.

lets startup

The story was good with many cliche shoujo moments, the MCs killed the story for me in this case, Futaba Yoshioka the main Character said some words something along the lines of she'll never kiss someone without loving them, this was around the 12th episode of the anime for anime watchers, well (Spoilers) guess what she does a few chapters later, After a misunderstanding she sees Kou Mabuchi with his ex-girlfriend, guess what happens, Touma Kikuchi happens, the story goes downhill from that moment onward and only tries to climb-up again but it fails to do so in my opinion.

the art was ... cute

I like most of the Characters, hated a few including the female protagonist.

overall it was good 53 chapters, thought (spoilers)........... I wish Futaba*Touma never happened.
