I honestly can't think of anything that the male lead in this story could possibly do in the future to make up for what he does to the female Wow. OK.
I honestly can't think of anything that the male lead in this story could possibly do in the future to make up for what he does to the female lead character in this volume. Yeah, I get that she deceived him and basically ruined his upcoming marriage, but what he does to her is just not OK. I'm assuming they will eventually become romantically involved, and how that could possibly happen is beyond me. As someone said in another review, this initial volume is a "mess"....more
This battle just seems impossible at this point. I have no idea how this could possibly end. And Ichigo is still nowhere to be found. 10 volumes left.This battle just seems impossible at this point.

Wow. So I took the night to try to collect my thoughts, and I still don't know exactly how I feel about this series. It's a complex story, and I thinkWow. So I took the night to try to collect my thoughts, and I still don't know exactly how I feel about this series. It's a complex story, and I think to fully appreciate all of the details and nuances you need to read the whole thing more than once. There are so many characters in this story that it can get super confusing at times, and many things are left ambiguous or unanswered in the final volume, which means that they may end up being answered in re. I have the re box set on order, so I'm going to continue the story, but I think if I revisit this first series again at a later date I would most likely appreciate it more. Despite its complexity it's a superb story, and you just need to keep reading in order to fit all of the pieces together. I'm really glad I stuck with it....more

Not a lot happens in this volume. There are so many characters and so much going on that sometimes it feels like parts of the story drag. I think thatNot a lot happens in this volume. There are so many characters and so much going on that sometimes it feels like parts of the story drag. I think that's mainly because I want to read more about the ghouls, and this volume was heavy on the CCG. There is a big reveal at the end though. I'm still waiting to see why so many people consider this series to be a masterpiece. ...more
