I've been following this unfinished series for quite some time now and kept hoping that the third volume would continue the very dramatic cliffhanger ending in volume two. However, it seems that the author has stopped (gasp!) this series for unknown reasons (to me anyhow). As an avid fan, I feel deeply betrayed but still highly recommend this book to anyone who has an appreciation for great artwork, every minimal detail paid attention to and a plotline that brings the most stolid reader at very least a smile to his face.

This story begins as a shojo (girl/boy romance) and hints at BL or shounen-ai undertones later in the story. Characters are very femininely drawn, similar to many of CLAMP's series, but still hold masculinity for readers who are more shojo-inclined.

v_v;; I do wish the graphic artist would continue this series, though I know my wish is poorly regarded since it's been a year or more since the last update.

I am really into this series but I guess there isn't enough demand for it to continue. :( I enjoy the second book as much has I did the first book. Oh, but I wish Luka woudn't have cut his hair...*sigh* He was soo much hotter with his long, luxurious, stylish, black, sexy, shoulder length hair!

It's lovely. The art style isn't for everyone since it's more Korean than Japanese, but I love it. It's very off the wall and odd at first, so it's either you love it or you hate it, but I like the story. It's interesting and has kept me enamoured enough to buy my own copies and wait with baited breath for the next release. I definitely recommend it if you like magic, pretty boys, shounen-ai, or gothic romance.

Okey, this volume deals with both a genre-change & a new illustrator. Let it also be known that the series has been cancled or hiatused in South Korea. Rumors point & 4 sourses for the series demize; Have Manhwa Cafe's drained the manhwa industr of it's blood (no pay, read for free)? Did Mana sue the author & co. for using his likeness, clothes, & making him a girl? Or is it because she couldn't keep an illustrator? Is it because she started a new series she was more interested in & is holding off untill her scrapbook of ideas for this story has been filled?
The Luel-Nell thing is resolved & now Neo is having lovey-dovey thoughts towards his master. Yeah^o^ All bishounen lovers MUST check out Fuan, WOW! There's a dress you Gothic Lolita fans simply must see in here, plus one of Mana's most famous suits (remember his blonde days?) & for you J-rock fans, sexy sexy Hakuei Tomo makes a cameo appearence! ::heart bubbles::
I'd have given this book a 5 had the translations been less focused on nullifying the culture with overusage of American slang, plus Luca looks tacky with short hair. (BTW, this book is WAY sillier than the last^__^)
(er..btw, the Japanese officially changed "shounenai" to BL.)

WOW! What a crazy book! Utterly Goth, but tongue in cheek with it - hilarious, (and for once on purpose) and very stylish. Lots of supreme Gothic Lolita style, androgynous pretty boys (of course) and some oddities that become glorious perhaps simply because of what's lost in the translation (for instance people tend to turn into cute oddly drawn dolls when they get angry). Can't wait to read book three when it's out.
DO BUY THIS IF: you like the new wave of Goth, and can have a laugh at yourself
DO NOT BUY THIS IF: you need everything to make perfect sense. Scratch that. Buy it anyway!

The book was received right on time and was better then discribed. I'd deffiantly buy from this person again in the future.

Um... well what is there to say about this book... it's weird. Very weird. All the boys look like girls (...) Except after Luka gets his hair cut... no wait... he looks like a girl even then. The story resumes during a battle between Fuan and Luka. Luel is about to be married against his will, and Nell shows up. (...) She kind of takes the expression of "sharing your heart" to a new level. The spirits are SOOOO cute! Even Efreet, those of you who remember volume 1. We learn something more about Neo and a little about Luka and Luel's dad. All in all the story is wonderful, hilarious, a little odd.... very odd... and shall I say it again? [Weird!] The animation style is not normal Manga drawings. They are [much] closer to real life (they do keep with the big eyes though) Flags: Nudist. Male nudist. Oh well, that notwithstanding, it's a great manga and really funny. I recommend it to anyone who thinks they'd like it.

Pretty qiuck shipping and GREAT CONDITION!!!! NO LIE!!!! Would buy from again!!!
