Reviews

[Leah · Rating 3 out of 5]

The last book was marginally better than the first two, as it finally decided to go into a little more detail about certain scenes and add more flavor to others, instead of simply recounting scenes from the anime with the blandest tone. However, some of the changes made to the narrative were not to my liking. In the end, the anime is the better experience 100%.
