The Story

The story is about three hybrids trying to get rid of their curses.

The story seems like an original story at first, but then it becomes a hybrid of ‘The Future Diary’ and 'Pandora Hearts’ where two god candidates have to find the relics that can turn them into gods and try to stop the other from taking it.

The story doesn’t really have a clear setting, either. It keeps changing from a middle-age Europe setting to a modern day New York setting. It is clearly a fantasy world, but the world makes no sense!



The Characters

The characters are all generic, have single tropes or are really unlikeable. The series decides to switch the protagonist from a stuck up bitch to a perverted jerk with magic powers. It got to the point that I was actually rooting for the villains! Even though they are unlikeable, they are more developed and more interesting than the good guys!

Now, you must be wondering why the hell I read the series as long as I have and had not stopped earlier? Well, the answer to that is very simple, Nao.

Nao is by far the best character in the series and is one of my favourite manga characters of all time. I am not kidding when I say he felt more like the protagonist than the other two main leads. He is given so much character development and we know almost everything about him and he doesn’t have a trope being repeated over and over again. Yes, they do use bisexual jokes with him, but it happens three times and the jokes are actually quite funny.
Nao singlehandedly saved the series for me, he basically came into the series into volume 2 as a one-off character, but then he took the spotlight and became a main character.

Minor spoiler here, but when they (supposedly) killed him off in volume 5, I stopped reading the series. But while I was looking around my book recommendations, I found out while reading volume 7’s description that I found out he was still alive and I bought volumes 6 & 7 together. And yes, reading the chapters that he wasn’t in we’re painful to get through, but it was worth it.



The Art

The art in this manga is almost backgroundless. Everyone is standing in a white void of nothingness for the entire series, thus, making the setting of the series quite confusing.

The characters designs are quite memorable, with unique character designs, you wouldn’t be getting mixed up with who is who in the series.



Final Thoughts

Overall, (apart from Nao) the entire series was painful to read through! The story is a mess, the characters are unlikeable and the art is a white void!

But the series does have some good parts to it. The character designs are unique and Nao is the best character in manga I have ever seen!

The reason why I decided to stop at volume 8 instead of reading the last third of the series was because it felt like a fitting conclusion to the series. Honestly, if you are planning to read the series, either rent or buy volumes 1-8 for a cheap price or read online up to chapter 42.

I recommend to give the series a chance (only because of Nao). Read the first 3 or 4 volumes to see what a great character has to suffer through.
