This story gets better and better. I wish it wasn't dropped in the official English language version. It such a amazing story it has everything bro make a great shonen manga. Now I'm forced to read past vol 2 to read scans online. I'm re-reading the beginning of the series soon, I'll do a proper review then.
Overall Rating: ... 6/10 - I always forget that I've read this... No seriously. I always forget. So this isn't a bad series. The arcs were kinda messy, and I would say every villain of each arc pointed the finger towards the next one. Explaining certain characters especially Sakura took way too long.. Her's as well as the whole plot of the series and the founders was at the end, literally at the end. I just wanted it to be over... The only thing I liked at the end was the ending itself. It was a quiet happy ending, not a fairy tale like ending. I believe the manga and the series took different paths at some point.
