um...you haven't read part one or two, and haven't seen the movies- logically, these would be very confusing. Maybe you could try reading these or watching the anime first, and then rate this book what it's worth.

When I say it's confusing, I'm not talking about the fact that it's in the Japanese right-to-left format (meaning that you have to read everything in the book from right to left, starting with what would be the last page in an American book and starting with the speech bubbles on the right side of the page rather than the left). That can be pretty confusing, if you're not used to it, but it gets easier to deal with after a while. No, my problems are with the story itself: I had problems following what was going on a lot of the time. This could be because I haven't read volume one or two yet, and I've never seen any of the anime. Still, most of the time I was reading this, I felt like the writer wanted to make things seem mysterious and ended up making things incomprehensible instead. I would've appreciated it if there had at least been a little section at the beginning explaining who the characters were. I think I figured that out okay after a while, but I still got confused a lot. I think it was all the really big panels with no dialogue but a lot of really pretty art - they were lovely, but they didn't always seem to show too clearly what was going on.
