Read the full take
A girl who wants to run away from her life finds an escape in an English singer, and the question quickly becomes whether he is real at all. The premise is a dreamy mystery at heart, and the series is happy to let uncertainty hang in the air. It is a melancholy read more than a thriller.The mood is the strongest asset. The story is steeped in longing and grief, and the uncertain relationship gives each scene a haunted edge. Shoujo readers will appreciate how the emotional beats build slowly and let the character's loneliness come through.The weaknesses are clear. The melancholy can drift into repetitive sadness, and the mystery leans more on mood than on clear answers. The tone feels dated next to modern shoujo, so newcomers may find it slower going.Recommended for readers who enjoy moody shoujo with a supernatural undercurrent. Be ready for a quiet, bittersweet ride.
