So emotional <3 Jakes Geschichte <3 Und die Piratengeschichte erst! Wow, und das Ende hat mich wirklich wahnsinnig neugierig auf den nächsten Teil gemacht. Leider gibt es nur noch 2 :O
Ich will nicht, dass der Manga endet :'(

Update April 2024: Ich liebe es so sehr, jede einzelne Geschichte. Jakes Geschichte ging mir so ans Herz, und die Piraten, uff. Diese Serie bringt in mir Gefühle hoch, von denen ich gar nicht mehr wusste, dass ich sie hatte ... Davon werde ich nie genug bekommen!

First thing's first, you can't go wrong with March Story, the art is perfect, and the characters are strong. But the writing, I guess, wasn't as good as the first two. The only story that kept me interested in this one was about Jake, and how she got her Cist Vihad weapon.
But that doesn't matter. Just so long as I get the latest March Story on my shelf.

Good book gave me a few laughs on the way, but you definitely can't help but feel pity for the heroine in this series for her lack of a normal life.

While the true nature of the Ill remains somewhat elusive, their ambiguity leads to series of satisfying vignettes. Volume three tones down the gore considerably, with more of a comedic and sentimental approach. I've no doubt that things will get dark again, but it's good to see some more range in the storytelling.

I was starting to wonder if every volume would feature a drawing of Marsh in the nude, and so far the answer is technically yes, though the example in volume three is far less explicit than in previous volumes. How much of that is meant to be gratuitous, and how much to symbolize the vulnerability of the hero's dangerous secret? In any case, the more striking scenes in volume three actually depict Marsh fully dressed, in an elaborately feminine gown. This volume goes to greater lengths to show how Marsh's obligation to hide her sex and avoid falling in love might actually be weighing on her mind, hinting that things might become much more interesting soon (assuming she finds a better love interest than Rodin).

Ini chapter terakhir lagi2 bikin ketawa. Volume 2 terkait secret admirer-nya Jake, sekarang giliran Belma yg nyari bahan masakan lezat XDD
Lalu btw, setiap jilid memang mengedepankan March sbg wanita lewat tubuh polos y, setiap jilid selalu ada panel dg gambar itu :')) Apakah itu utk menggambarkan kerentanan rahasia berbahaya March? LOL
Volume ini terlepas dari chapter menarik terkait bajak laut tap dance (hho) tentu upaya March yg makin mendekati cinta serta membebani pikirannya, mengisyaratkan bahwa segala sesuatunya mungkin menjadi jauh lebih menarik seiring geliat Thorn (dengan asumsi dia menemukan minat cinta yang pada Rodin).

This volume mostly showed the ill under a more positive light which was nice, also got some more of Jake's backstory. Overall a fairly good volume if you enjoyed the more episodic chapters from the previous volumes but not if you're looking for the story to progress in any meaningful way.

I couldn't put it down, I just took forever to update Goodreads

Oooh, this was a sad volume. Starting off with March getting a brief moment to enjoy the thought of wearing a beautiful dress and marrying her sweetheart, knowing if she ever did, her Ill would slip loose and murder everyone she loves. Then going on to an old man and his best friend throughout their lives, all the way to the latter's death. Followed up with Jake's history as a mercenary, the loss of her glass-working loved one, the loss of her father figure, and how she became a Ciste Vihad. By the time I got into the sad doll chapter, I was pretty much cried out. The only sad back stories we're waiting to learn now are Rodin and Belma.

This one wasn't as strong as the previous two volumes. I felt like we didn't see much of March. But definitely still good. 4/5

I know I said I'm not a big fan of March looking girly, but OMG SHE LOOKED AMAZING IN THAT WEDDING DRESS!!!!

What I really enjoy about this series is how it puts character history stories in between storyline stories. I really enjoy learning about the characters and their history! Jake's story was so sad! I love her so much!!

The only thing that has sort of bothering me lately is the Ill have all been pretty decent lately. In this volume and the second volume, they haven't been murderous monsters like they're supposed to be. They've been very humane. While I do like that because I believe there is good and bad in everything, I miss the bad artwork of the dark and creepy stuff!

Also, that last extra story with Belma was hilarious! I love when he punched the tiger! I laughed forever!

I keep getting amazed by how the adventures march goes on to defeat the ill. The people she meets along the way are very much love-able and jus makes me sad how some had succumbed to the ill's lure. still very good stories in this volume.
