Though I only didn’t like the romance since I already find it predictable. The scenes are never dull for me because I learned a lot about the story in each chapter, and also, I love learning something about our characters.I also liked the characters that were introduced in the story. I also loved the unfamiliar myth characters, and I’ll repeat it, the anime vibe atmosphere it is giving off since the start. Ain’t that fun? It is somehow new to me, and I definitely enjoyed reading this book.At the start, the story already brought me action – how most anime that I had watched started. It feels like I’m watching an anime, but instead of seeing the characters move on the screen, I can read their moves and thoughts instead. I love how this book has this anime-ish touch.
