I really don't have very many complaints about this story.
Plot: 9
The clandestine plot flowed nicely through the crevices of darkness present in the male lead. It isn't exactly realistic, but anything is possible.
Art: 8
The art style was nice, but I didn't like the female lead's hair. I know,, its kind of a selfish thing to say, but whenever i see long pigtails, I think of Sailor Moon. Even thought this story was meant for mature audiences, the juvenile look of Kurumi made some of the smut scenes seem wrong... unless you are into that kind of thing.

Character: 8
Despite contrary belief, I didn't find the main character to be completely useless which is something we see in a lot of shoujo mangas. Kurumi has a strong sense of right and wrong which puzzles her when she became close to the mafia. Also, Kurumi is strong on the inside, able to take abuse but still love with all of her heart.
Enjoyment: 8
This manga was sometimes very hard to read and the emotional side of it can really take toll on you, but i enjoyed most of the smut scenes (I didn't really mind the rape scenes as much I should have). If rape is a topic that you don't like, don't read this manga.
Overall: 8
To say I hated the ending would be an understatement, but it only makes sense seeing this story is a tragedy and not a love-love manga. The author overall played off the complicated love and lust present in the two characters quite well. Overall, the manga did leave a lasting impression, making the reader question morals and the darkness in the world, but also contemplate the silver lining that can be found in these situations. I found the manga to be in the "good" category, and would recommend this to readers who enjoy tragic romance stories with lots and lots of smut!
