This week for Sensate Saturday I’m doing something I don’t get to do very often, it’s a full review of a series! It’s a follow-up of last week with Shuriken and Pleats Full Review!

Plot: The plot sadly devolves after the first three chapters, which is a real shame because the series could’ve been great, but it looks like the series got axed and the last half of the series is full of rushed plot, Deus Ex Machina and the like. Honestly just read the first three chapters and you’ll be much more satisified with that as an ending, than the last three give.

Characters: Mikage is a decent lead character, but with the way the plot unfolds in the last three chapters it does nothing for the character development we could’ve had. The rest of the cast is okay, but I specifically don’t like the way they handled Rodd, which is a shame. I won’t say why specifically as it’d spoil the series, but it’s a travesty.

Art: The art is the only redeeming point in this entire mess, and it sadly wasn’t enough to save it from the editors or myself.

Overall: If you must read the series don’t go past chapter three. Otherwise avoid this series like the plagued monstrosity it is.
