I am re-living some of my best hits. I said this occupies the same part of my brain as "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" and I meant it. It is very nostalgic to be reading this again.

The story has a pretty good setup, albeit somewhat full of shounen clichés. The art style is easy to follow and keep your attention on the story. Rin is also pretty good as a shounen protagonist - spunky without veering into annoying. And even in the first three chapters, a great dynamic is set up between him and his twin brother, Yukio.

I am excited to binge this and I might not have the chance to review every volume because of this.
