This manga was my childhood... i was literally obsessed with it as it was one of my first manga follows.
As an adult, i have certain gripes with the story base structure, but dont get me wrong... this series is still amazing.
As i write this comment i just left from rereading the series after some years, i did feel the wear of age as my tastes and perception evolved, but i finished it and... I loved it, maybe it's just nostalgia but Akamatsu-sensei really did amazing in this series, and this will forever stay in a special place in my heart.
