I'm no fan of short stories. Usually they fail to create a world deep enough to delve deep enough into to really enjoy yourself, or sympathise with it's heroes. So when I began the lecture of Spirit Circle I frankly wasn't expecting much, a typical "boy has inherited a chakram made of soul from his previous incarnation, meets a pretty girl that's bound to him by fate of vengeance, and they fall in love".

It is with great pleasure that I found out this work refused to throw another "villain that actually wants to be friends and is throwing a tantrum because is lonely" at us whenever it exhausts the plot, but rather consistently added more depth to the small cast of it's characters.

I'll debunk a likely misconception you might get: it is NOT an action manga. in fact, action is very scarce, and used only to empasize the relations between characters, and it treats mainly about mistakes that human is so prone to commit, the grudge they incur, and finally, forgiveness so that all can return to the natural state.

I'd like to make this review objective, if it's at all possible, so I'll stop singing praises now, but i sincerely encourage anyone who wants to read a manga leaving an impression of serenity, peace and... wow, this sounds dumb, but, enlightement, to give this manga a go. I gave it a try for the romance tag, and when it ended, I was actually sad that that's it, depite the fact I couldn't find a more fitting ending if I tried to. This work is bliss.
