out of a 1-10 i would have to say this is a ten. this is up there with the best manga i have read and the best anime i have watched. of course im a happy ever after type person. i love a little romance thrown into a story. tho even if you dont you will still prbly love this anime/manga. it has a bit of everything for every type of person. i have friends that are pretty harsh in the views of things and even they have to admit that this one is pretty awsome. dont be to judge mental about this anime/manga before you read or see it. my advice is if you want to get the best out of this series watch...
