I must have been in a bitter and angsty mood lately because I was expecting there to be more angst in this. This series in almost its entirety has been in my possession for over a couple of years now. I have been avoiding it because I had known from the time I was in high school its premise and that it was more dramatic than Peach Girl. In some ways, I would have to disagree. With practically every breath, Momo was facing something else dramatic and torturous. Mars did not hold that same intensity. That isn't to say that there wasn't real-life and dramatic happenings that took place. There was, and plenty of them.

I can see the appeal of this series, and how it became so freakishly popular. With the artistic stylings and violent-temperament similar to the other freakishly popular series Boys over Flowers, I can see how both would help pull each other into even more popularity. It even had the familial drama of Kare Kano. Or maybe it's the other way around?

Anyway- I enjoyed this far and beyond more than I thought I would. I was right to wait to read this one though. It is not one I can or could enjoy over and over again, or at any time I felt like reading. This one requires a particular mood to permeate through your being to be able to fully enjoy.
