Often with Harlequin manga, I get annoyed because the story is rushed, but I found the pacing to be just right in this one. It's an older release from 2001 and I was delighted with the retro fashion. There were a few instances where the dialogue didn't seem to match the word balloon. The dialogue was also awkward, as if Harlequin used the literal translation instead taking the extra step to adapt the dialogue into common English. ( )
