Review:
Himari is seriously sick, and her older brothers Kanba and Shoma are
determined to take care of her and give her as much joy as they can.
When she falls ill again, suddenly some other being seems to take
over her body and the twins make a deal with it, willing to do
anything to keep her alive.
I have mixed feelings about this. I did find the plot intriguing, and
the way Himari turns into this almost robotic magical girl is really
neat to me. This caught my eye first because of the art and how much
I liked Hoshino's Kigurumi Guardians series, and this is quite
pretty as well.
But I'm not quite sure where this is going after this volume, as the
main plot is a little unclear to me. I also have suspicions about one
of the boys being in love with Himari, and that makes me super wary
of reading more.
There were good and bad things about this first volume, and while I'm
still intrigued to read more and find out what the plot really is,
I'm also wary of where any romance might be going. I'm unsure if I'll
read more.
