I wrote this review simply because there is one positive and one negative already existing review, thus i wanted to help tip the scales.

Story 7
I liked the premise for the story very much and was excited to see how they would write it. I did like the story and how it was being written, however, sometimes i found the arcs' explanation to be a little confusing. The other thing is that they tended to make an arc a couple of chapters longer than it really needed to be. Thankfully, there were a couple of fun chapters between each major plot line because it allowed ... the reader to take a break from the heavier side of this manga.

Art 7
The art was good, nothing amazing but it was far from bad. The action scenes were a little messy, but really not to much to complain about.

Character 7
These characters were your regular shounen stereotypes one would expect to see. You have your short tempered, act first think later type of guy, you have your cold personality aloof who has dark hair and an even darker past, and finally our weak protagonist who is constantly being saved by our male heroes yet has some abnormal abilities of her own. Nothing too special, but it is a tired formula that proves to work relatively well, at least for this manga. The one thing i liked about her was that she usually slipped into the background during the fight scenes so you didn't really see her enough to start to hate her.
The side characters were entertaining but probably my favourite character of all is zarame (even though he barely speaks). I guess i just like the concept of a mini shinigami.

Enjoyment 8
I actually did enjoy this manga, there were a few quarks that i found to be unique that made me want to keep reading. The concept was cool, the characters worked well, and even though a little confusing at times, you get the general gist of things.
i would recommend it, so hey just go for it. Will it be the best thing u ever read, probably not, but its a good enough story with a few laughs and enough character development.

Honestly, where do i begin....
Story
i liked the idea of the story at first (although not original, it is good enough to hold up its own). However, i soon learned that this plot would develop into the most unrealistic and unsatisfying situations one could possibly imagine. At one point, it just felt like the author had put random and in-cohesive scenarios into a hat and started picking at random. The story made no sense and was just "trying" to ad a sense of drama (which it miserably failed at). I think even at one point, the main character threatened to remove her own eyeballs just to ... get what she wanted. Basically the story made no sense and was one random event after another.

Art
meh, it was ok

Character
Dan-bi is the most irritating and lackluster character i have ever read. Everything she die was annoying because she only thought of herself. Even when everyone was giving so much, all she would do is take. Normally, with this type of character, they tend to have a tougher exterior and a soft center. However, if ur waiting for character development from her it rarely happens. Her actions, motives and thoughts make no sense and cannot possibly truly mimic how an actual person would act in such situations. She was just terribly developed.

The other characters are nothing special, just a bunch of guys who despite their terrible treatment still love and desire to help our protagonist. Then of course we have our male lead bad ass who hates the world and everyone in it, but we're supposed to love him cause he rides a motor cycle. Wow, i am so attracted.

Enjoyment
minimal

Overall
Well after reading my rant, its pretty clear that i don't care much for this Manhwa. Read it if you want to be completely thrown off by the main character and if ur looking for the most ridiculous things to happen (it actually made me laugh, A LOT)

Story
The story is good, nothing exceptional, but certainly enough to have you on your toes for the next update. Being an advocate of all genres, i did enjoy it and i like certain aspects of it.

Art
If you were to read this manga for anything, it would be for the art. Its just beautiful, nice clean, crisp, thick lines, beautiful backgrounds, it was all too good to look at. It is just too nice.

Characters
The main girl is nothing special, she is the typical shy school girl who all the guys fall in love with yet she doesn't realize it. However, the boys in this ... manga were 3-dimensional, they had stories and motives and all very distinct personalities (some we have seen before and some we havent), i did like all their personalities and each chapter or two focused on a certain one, so you understood them more (sometimes more than the main character).

I do like this manga and i would recommend it to anyone who really likes beautiful art, or anyone who likes beautiful guys.
Enjoyyyyyyy

When looking for an anime, little girls with magical powers and long transformation sequences tend to turn me off (i had had enough of that throughout my childhood).
However, i decided to give it a chance due to the good things i had heart about this anime
Story
honestly, i was shocked that a story that sounded so average, so ordinary could be anything but. The concept for this anime was basically to turn classic ballets into a story, and they successfully accomplished their goal. This story although appears shallow at first, has so much depth and so many layers that i honestly believe it is to ... mature for younger audiences to fully grasp some of the major themes. Unlike other shows (cough cough) this story had a plot and it progressed it's plot with every episode (little filler if any). I can't even talk about the plot because i don't want anything to be given away.
Well done

Sound
normally, i couldnt care less about sound because it normally has little to no importance in the actual plot of the anime. Of course, this being revolved around ballet the music is important. The music was brilliant. Truly a masterpiece in it's own field. It is what ties the whole anime together and i'm thankful that such a soundtrack was compiled.

Character
The characters are what make the show (i know every one says that but hear me out), from the very first episode you could see the characters begin to grow. They may have started off flat, but i can assure you, by the 6th or 7th episode they could not have been more round. Their development was amazing and you soon learn to love them all, even when your not supposed to. You feel pity, sadness, joy, relief, happiness and so much more. Especially how they associate with one another, it was smooth and was never forced, it's how i would imagine real people would act in such situations. They are just excellent, thats really all i can say.

Enjoyment
Because each aspect of the show was exceptional on it's own, as a whole it too was excellent. Everything just worked and fit perfectly together, especially the ending because it stayed true to itself (you will know what i mean).
All in All, excellent and one of my faves to this day

........okok i'll stop talking now, GO WATCH IT
