Review:
This series intrigued me a little when I first heard about it, but
it's taken me a while to get around to starting it. The artwork is
pretty, though I hadn't really read the description.
We meet Kotoko at the beginning, a girl who was kidnapped by yokai
when she was young, and has to visit the hospital regularly for check
ups. She has a crush on Kuro, a boy who also regularly visits the
hospital, but she hasn't really talked to him until now. He also has
an interesting connection to yokai that Kotoko is curious about.
I like Kotoko from the beginning. She's tiny, looks much younger than
she is, but she's smart and she doesn't mind the scars she's earned
to be where she is now. She's very upfront and shameless in the way
she talks, and I appreciate that.
In the second half of the volume, we skip forward some, and we
see what a different character has been up to. I'm intrigued to see
where the next volume goes, given the switch of characters, and I
like what I've seen so far.
