Somewhat difficult to read but well worth it Jun 02, 2008
reviewed by Obsessed (Broken Angels Vol. 01)
To start off the story is a bit convoluted, but it is designed to be this way.
This is the first vol in a 5 vol series and it is supposed to begin in the middle of things. The rest of the vols work to unveil the character's past. In other words this isn't your typical manga where all of the facts are easily discovered. If you are a Decendants of Darkness fan, it is like trying to discover Tsuzuki's past. The end result forces you to read the vol several times before truly understanding what took place - this is the only problem with the work. (Some bad panel layout doesn't help and there is some confusion about who is talking in a few panels as well.)
The story does take place, mostly, at a school, but that isn't what is important. The school serves as merely a meeting grounds for most of the characters. Yes some of the characters so seem to mimic characters that have been in other works. However, as the vols go on the similarities vanish. Also there is high use of gender-bender type characters and jokes. To summarize, the doctor is male but dresses like a girl and the main character is a girl but dresses like a guy. Plus there are plenty of yuri jokes scatter about.
Lastly the art is beautiful! It is on par with Decendants of Darkness and Angel Sanctuary. There is mild use of chilbi drawings but not to the point of Sunako in Wallflower. Each panel is beautifully filled with artwork. There is little use of blank or blacked out manga panels.
Overall, I really enjoyed this work even if it required a bit of rereading to understand it. This work may be a more difficult read than other mangas but well worth it.

awsome Sep 25, 2008

The plot is good and the over all story is worth it, but the art work is not the greatest, chareters are skinny and oddly drawn but all in all great manga to read!

well, i don't really know what to think about this story. the style of the manga is really nice, but sometimes the story is a little hard to follow.
But to be real honest, I only read the firt 3 manga's, but I did order the other ones to. This manga makes me curious about what will happen. And hopefully, I will get the story at the end, because I actually had this with another manga.
