(4.38/5)This is the first manga (series) that I wanted to keep reading even after I had exhausted my Japanese reading stamina. I would be reading for hours up until my brain just can't comprehend any Japanese whatsover and needed a break, and I would sit in frustration because I want to know what happens next but my brain is spent and wouldn't let me.
