I picked the two volumes up from a used manga seller at a convention this year. I was very sad to find out that this story was never fully released in the USA. I love a good drama and this one had plenty of it. Plus it was just unique to have a story where the characters did beachcombing as a hobby. It was very refreshing!

The art definitely is dated, and has that 2000s Korean manhwa look. Tomo is energetic and has two brothers she is interested in. Well, mainly Riku who is the school janitor. I'm not a huge fan of student and teacher ... relationships, but its kind cute. Plus knowing how these kind of stories go of clear that Tomo and Tento will somehow end up being the main couple. But of course I will never know ;__;

If anyone knows where I could finish reading the series online, even un-translated ones. I would love to read them!

This series came out of no where on Netflix and I was so close to not even watch it. The trailer really does not do the series justice. The series is a near future, crime action show that I was surprised that it was actually an anime. Everything about the show is really aimed for the Western/Hollywood action audience... and I love it. Everything from the opening, to the fact that the show had a "costume designer" shows that this isn't your normal show. Actually, it almost feels like this show should be on a TNT or FOX staring a Tom Cruise kind of actor.

I ... wish that there were more animated shows like this out there. Though there are moments that show where an hour long/live action format would have been better. The art is beautiful, and the pacing is good... just giving you enough every episode to push the story further. There are just some scenes I could imagine would have been more interesting to watch if acted out instead. The emotions would come across far better. A game format could also be interesting too, since there were things on screen that I kind of wanted to read, but pausing the show would get annoying after awhile :)

Overall, the story is interesting and I would recommend checking it out. Just don't get caught up on "this isn't like xyz anime" with over the top animation and anime moments. Think of it like a good USA action drama. I just hope that they don't give up on the second season (like many other USA shows :( there's still quite a few plot points that need to be resolved)

(Also, I really want some of the outfits in the show. Most of Sarah's outfits were things I would wear <3)
