[Sarah · Rating 4 out of 5]

This did such a better job than the anime of setting up this world and giving us more real characters. Both Alice and Iska feel like caricatures in the anime. Here they felt a little more real and thoughtful. Also the details that we got through the artwork helped build the world overall much better. My anime/manga partner fully agreed with me on this one.

A series of unbelievable coincidences brings our two battling protagonists together over and over again (luckily, in neutral territory.)

[Nicole Westen · Rating 3 out of 5]

The wispy art style feels like a bit of a mismatch for the drama and supposed seriousness of the plot.
