This is a great anime/manga. the plot follows around a girl who has cancer and cant sing or else she starts coughing. One day 2 shinigamis takuto and meroko arrive and they (next is not really a spoiler.it happens in first episode) transform into a very pretty 16 year old girl wtih a perfectly healthy body so she can sing but what happens next at the audition will change her life. The characters are very deep and each are different. there arent a lot of side characters to keep track of or remember so it's very easy for those with trouble with names(like me) and none of them look alike so again you wont get confused. The beautiful mizuki as a 16 year old shows how great the art is and the music is very addicting. The music is actually one of the only anime songs/soundtrack that i actually enjoy and cant get out of my head. This may have been targeted at the older childrens group but this can be for any age. Try it, I usually don't read these but the enjoyment i got from it each night on my itouch was phenominal!! Watch and listen to the song on the first episode and try it out. Manga and anime are slightly different.
