There's no denying it, this manga is incredibly sick and twisted, with particular scenes so repulsive they'd make the faint hearted throw up.
...But you can't help loving it anyway!!

With artwork that beautiful, characters that lovable and unthinkable plot twists in every chapter, there's waaaay too much to love about this manga to ditch it just because it's sick. Kaori Yuki's done an amazing job of keeping the rather dark, 19th century aristocracy theme throughout and never fails to impress you with her wonderful - if not slightly deranged - ideas.
You're hooked by the very first chapter and mentally forced to buy them all, though it's well worth it for the dramatic plot that's unraveled as the story goes on, and all the interesting, unique (AND BEAUTIFULLY DRAWN!!) characters you meet along the way.

I'm not going to explain the story because it's already in the descriptain of the manga and I'd probably get too excited and start blabbing out spoilers, but I'd highly reccomend this manga for lovers of brilliant plots and... Tophats. X'D

It was ace. :)
