One thing I hate about this manga is this fake positiveness in it. Half of the time, I get chills down my spine. I also don't like the way they were drawn, mainly because it doesn't match their ages.
Orpherus is such a typical "prince charming". I thought the cape was way overrated. I think the artist was trying to add that Knight look to him too but, fortunately, it backfired. In the beginning, he was like, "I would never like a girl like her" but it didn't show signs of his uninterest in her.
Ludwig is your typical "smart-aleck" dark guy; in other words: the guy with the villain looks. It was actually sort of cool that he doesn't like Erika... It was cool UNTIL...he wanted to know her answer and then started showing that uncool smile.
Naoji is like the opposite of Eduard; a romance guy, which Eduard, on the other hand, isn't but still a nice-guy anyway. The two knows that Orpherus is Erika's brother; they're both smart, catches on quick... No comment on their appearances. Uh, no comment on Camus either.
Erika... The main character is like every other shoujo chick: Annoying, determined, strong-willed, loud, clumsy, "cute", and last but not least, has a positiveness that everyone just seems to love about her. I hate that kind protagonist more than anything.
The story is squeezed together. It's quick and, yes, straight-to-the-point, but very boring that way. Ludwig doesn't even start showing up until chapter 4 but that's when everyone else is unimportant and gets left out. Such a boring Shoujo book.
