The very first time I picked up this manga, I could not put it down. I read literally twenty-two chapters in one sitting. It was amazing; there was never a moment when I thought, "How long will this take?" I never looked to see how many pages there were left, which is unusual for me. I am sorely disappointed there isn't more. There seems like there should be more than 54 chapters; it ended without warning. The character development wasn't what I wanted either, because much stayed the same.

Overall score: 8. Recommended: yes.

For starters, I actually think that this scenario is very likely to happen in real life, but this author has such an original way of telling it, I recommend this Manga for those of you who like tabooed love.

I feel that both the beginning and especially the ending were a little rushed. The introduction of characters were fine, but the character development happened too quickly. The ending had many gaps and much more could have been added to the story, but don't let that discourage you from reading it for yourself.

I feel that Chihiro is a very real person, because it always seems like every character in an Anime I see has a wonderful personality. Well, in terms of character traits, this movie is very realistic and shows aspects of young girls not seen in other Anime/Movies. However, because I am not completely familiar with the Japanese culture, I sometimes felt out of place because some things that would have probably made sense to a Japanese person did not make sense to me.

Aside from that, the animation was smooth, the music was astounding and greatly contributed to the film, and the character development was just ... phenomenal. I enjoyed this movie very much and I highly recommend it.
