I have mixed feelings about this manga. I really enjoyed the first and last volumes but everything else fell flat for me since I guess I made the fatal mistake of thinking the story would be about the hero and Mao going on adventures together. I really love Mao and her journey but without spoiling anything, I wasn't really a fan of how things went after a certain point. All in all, I'm glad I read the series but I get the feeling that it could have been more. A big thanks to the people who worked on this manga.
