Graphics Rating: 4/5
Plot Rating: 2/5
Opinion: Love the graphics. Excellent mix of the older style with a modern edge.
Okay so I’m gonna clarify the summary because I thought it was going to be something WAY different. Her brother ACTUALLY inhabits her body and switches in and out. Kinda two souls one body. Totally not what I wanted and not a happy surprise either.
I was reading some other reviews and people were like “I dunno how you found this confusing HAHA!” and I was just sitting there pulling my hair out. IT WAS SO CONFUSING. I could barely recognize who people were and don’t get me started on the difference between the brother and sister.
I just didn’t feel it. This story is BANKING on the idea that you feel connected to the main character and I couldn’t buy it. It was there in the first and second chapter but when it got confusing I got pulled out of the story.
Honestly I wouldn’t even bother with this one unless you enjoy the art.
Final Rating: 2/5
