The cover of this manga is beautiful, and some of the extra artwork in the manga is as amazing. But the manga's art itself is horrible.

I also don't understand it. Maybe it's too deep for me to understand, and I usually prefer things to be straightforward. I get confuse in the end, and I don't understand why or how she lost her eyes.

But I don't hate Ririko because I pity her. She is both the protagonist and antagonist of this manga, and somehow, you probably end up sort of liking her.

That was a shocking story..
The art was quite horrible, but the the fact that it was a one volume manga(a long volume, though...), and the that the story just sucked me in, I couldn't stop reading it.
I couldn't hate Ririku, even after all the things she had done.. Only pittying her..

Indeed it was creepy, showing an extreme scenario of what can happen if you go to far in order to reach "ideal beauty", and the cost of it.
It says "to be cuntinued", probubly not.. *heh*

For a one-shot, this story was very deep and compelling. I loved the way the author spun the story, relying on current events but overlaying it with a kind of "Hard Copy"esque monologue. Very nice work.

Who knew a story about the pursuit of beauty could be so creepy... quite an intriguing story.
