Worth every penny!

Wow, this one is worth every penny. It has a wonderful amazing art, exciting story and the volume is quite thick too (256 pages). I've been waiting for this manga for months and I wasn't disappointed. It wasn't as good as the Azura arc in the Gorgeous Carat manga but it was definitely better than the first volume of said series. It was so good to see Ray and Florian back in action. Florian was getting himself into a lot of trouble like usually and Ray was rushing to the rescue. There were some really touching, angsty scenes between these two, although it was still not yaoi or even a full blown shounen-ai. But since I like hint-ish manga best, this one made me rather giddy! There was one thing I was missing though - a climax (nope, not in the sexual way! gosh, you really have a one-tracked mind! XD). The main story sort of... dissipates for the lack of a better word. That's my only complain. But since I bought it because of the characters, you won't see me complain much. You Higuri also promised to continue this series - although it's been 2 years now and nothing. I really hope that she will and that she'll bring Azura back. That hunk of a man is such a wonderful source of angst! XD All in all, I would give it 4,5 stars :)
