An interesting start to the series. I'd give it five stars if not for the ending shonen chivalry nonsense and the way Veritas/Jeanne begins because it's still dumb. Otherwise the art is nice and the world-building is neat, and I like all the cast. ( )

This was mostly funny. It doesn't seem as complex or as mysterious as "Pandora Hearts" and it's definitely foccusing more on the comedy. That is fine for me. The pacing and the art are still superb. ( )

Gorgeous art. Idiots. Vampires steampunk and Paris. ( )

One of the reasons that this is one of my favorite pieces of work is because of how much chemistry all the characters have. And though not all of it's romantic chemistry, you can see little snippets of the relationships between characters present. A prime example of this is Vanitas and Dante and their little frenemy relationship with the quirky nicknames they call each other. The other main reason that this is one of my favorites is because of the art. It looks beautiful both colored and in black and white. This can be seen one pages 14/15 on the panel where you see the airship Noe is traveling on. The detail is immaculate, and something about Mr. Mochizuki's artwork draws the reader in for more, to flip to the next page, to keep reading and consuming more and more of his art.
