I'm just learning about manga so this might have colored my thoughts about this book. I read it through once very quickly and was left confused. I hardly knew what happened. I then read the synopsis of the characters on the back of the book and read it through the book a second time, more slowly. I understood it better, but parts of it remained confusing to me. I have no idea what happened in the epilogue or who those characters even were. Maybe the anime from which this book was taken would have made the story clearer? I'm not sure. I'm not a great fan of time travel stories so I think I'll look for other manga to explore and leave this story for others. ( )
