"If there are really two souls inside me...I guess I'll never be lonely. Does this mean you have only one soul, Michael? Because you look very lonely."

If you thought plot line would be wrapping up in this penultimate installment, then you're right. However, we get a ton of new ones as well. Eva and Ken's past is much more tragic than we knew before. We understand more about Michael's maker as well. One of Jae's suitors makes a hugely bold move, but it ends in more heartbreak. Adrian, a mysterious force throughout the series thus far, seems to have all of the answers. How will everything pan out in the end?

The story lines are fairly balanced which I like. We get a lot of focus on Eva, Ken, and Adrian's backstory that explains the deal with the souls. Even still, it isn't that extensive or deep, but I'm glad to have had some explanation. Based on all of the tragedy I do hope to see the characters find some sort of happy ending. So much despair behind so much beauty.

The story isn't the most original, and the men are drawn so beautifully to the point of where they look like women, at least if they have long hair. The art style isn't really my favorite as the features are a bit disproportionate for my tastes, but it didn't hinder my enjoyment of the series. Jae's character could be worse. She makes pretty stupid decisions, but I do like that she stands up for herself every so often. And she certainly has her dedication to art. You can't deny that. This being the penultimate volume, she is still consistent with what she wants which I like. It's usually really annoying to see a conflicted heroine. Characters like Eva grew on me as well. Though she's not admirable, there is at least more to her than we originally thought.

I purchased the whole series at once on Ebay for about $30. It was an excellent deal and I've gladly kept every one. It is FAR from the best series, but I've certainly read worse.
