Because I found the story had a somewhat slow beginning, in spite of everything that happens in the first volume, I never imagined I would end up adoring Pandora Hearts as much as I do at this point.
I'll start with the characters, since they really pull this entire manga together for me.
I have never ever came across such unique, distinguished, characters before in a manga. There is a large cast, and every single character - even the minor characters - have depth. They have personality and secrets and make mistakes and they all feel very real. What I especially like about the characters
...
is that they are easily recognized. They all have their own specific characteristics, even between Jack and Oz.
The story. THE STORY.
There are no words to describe how the plot of Pandora Hearts blows me away. If you're going to read this, which I really hope you do, because you will not be disappointed, then the story is something you have to experience for yourself. So I'll leave it at that. What I really like though, is being able to go back and reread certain volumes and discover a new secret, or a reason for something that confused me previously. There's never a dull moment when Pandora Heart's really gets going.
The humour is also an extremely welcome bonus. The funny parts are hilarious, the serious parts are intense, the conclusions are mind blowing, and the full-page art panels (I'm not sure what to call them) are breathtaking.
