Hmmm. I'm not sure about the plot in this. It has some good concepts, the Yam tribe is particularly interesting. But, like a lot of the manga I've come across lately the plot seems overly stretched. Every chapter has different characters which we don't see again. But, unlike some other mangas that do this, there is good continuity.

The main characters do develop and I think there is a lot to learn about them. It's nice to see the change in Marlos attitudes.

This series contains some very nice artwork, especially the colour inserts at the start of each manga. The characters are well defined and they can easily be distinguished from each other.

I admit that once or twice I had to flick back some pages to re-read, but overall its easy to follow.

I think this is a light series, good for a bit of fun. It could've had more yaoi, but I'd always say that! If you like any of the genres it covers I'd say to give it a read.
