Story - set in the future, when it is dangerous for women to be on the street, comes the story of two 14 year olds. One, head honcho of a powerful yakuza group, the other the daughter of policeman, living as a man.

Yes, this is the basic story, but it is So Much More!! It is action packed, it is (slightly) romanitic, it is about growing up, and growing together, it is jealousy, it is humour, it is just so addictive!!! There were many occasions when I laughed outloud, in situations where I was not expecting any comedy.

Art - you can tell who all the main characters are, and Tsukasa's (our heroine) facial expressions are just grand! Ryuji despite his stoney expression conveys a lot, and I actually love it when they slip into chibi style. The art isn't as clean as I like it, but that is a personal preference, and not a failing of the mangaka. Occasionally I had trouble telling characters apart (that would be the younger brothers and some of the school friends), but on the whole I am really impressed with what happened with a LOT of characters.

Characters - I can't say anything other than outstanding. As mentioned above, there are a LOT of characters, and each has their own feel. Throughout the story, they grown, and change, and I fell in love with both Tsukasa and Ryuji! As well as numerous side characters.

Enjoyment/Overall - I got hooked. I got addicted. I sat down and read all 19 volumes across 2 days. And I don't regret it! It also has very high re-read potential. This manga has made it to my list of all time favourites. All I can say is give it a go - I don't think you will be sorry.
