Wow this might be offtopic, but I felt extreme nostalgic feeling reading this manga, after I got interested after seeing the anime. Turns out the artist did one of the best unpolished gem of a manga I've read years ago, and reread a couple of times, sadly the author died to a disease. At the time I thought the artist just stopped drawing since he had no other works, pleasantly surprised to see the artist never stopped, the art style conveys so much. I highly recommend people give his other work Shindere Shoujo to Kodoku na Shinigami a try. You will see how good the artist's improves so much on the story.
