I found this book at the Long Beach library and when I saw that it was by the author of soul eater I thought I'd give it a try. I have to say... the plot is simply bizarre but I'm willing to stick with it for the moment. I like the fact that Shinra smiles when he's nervous, it adds a funny twist and I love the characters reactions lololololol. The story hasn't developed enough for me to give it a final verdict and I have the second volume so more reading to go folks.....
