When I began reading the first book. I was not fully prepared for the dark nature of this series. After I had already adapted myself to the dark nature everything was fine and I found it to be very good and enjoyable. I like the deep plot and many underlying secrets that are revealed piece by piece if you keep reading. That's my style of manga, the romance tab helped too because with romance authors have and even greater amount of freedom and options to play with rather than countless action sequences and slap-stick comedy. The author somehow incorporated doppleganers, super-human's, secret organizations, special tribes, and a very good essence of realism into the characters themselves common in IM Dal-Young's many works like Onihime Vs, Unbalance X unbalance, and many others.

So many ask, with so many good points why did I not rate it a nine or at least eight? Well common in Im Dal Young's works is the hugely flawed main character of the male gender. Though most I can stand cause of their unique circumstances. This one however I diffinitely can not, he is so terribly bad that after nine chapters I can not stand it anymore and have to rant. The reasons the manga has been pulled down are:

1: Even though one goes through a tramatic exspirence. That gives no one the right to strangle a girl in bed with a dog collar.
2: After Keita admitted to PUSHING Kuro down three stories of stairs I almost dropped the manga for good but I tried my best I mean very best to endure, and read on.

3: After the fight with the Tribe in the begining Keita said HE will fight them off. Where the H*#! was he not just two minutes ago? Their was someone with a whip their he could 'scare off' but instead he hung outside the fight like a F@#!ing P*^sy. That irked me some and still I got through.

4: This one was the last straw after getting to Mikami's house. He pronounces he turned her into a "killing machine" What the hell does he think he is a dog trainer and Kuro a highly intellectual attack dog that acts on his commands?

I am giving this manga one last chance and only one before I drop it. If anybody else but Im Dal Young had wrote this I would have dropped it after three. But knowing Im Dal Young he has a strange way of making even the most unlike and hated male lead into a badass respectable character after a while. I true, truely hopes he works is magic here. Or this will become the first Im Dal Young manga I drop for a F***ing A**hole of a male lead.

WARNING FUTURE PERSPECTIVE READERS BOTH MALE AND FEMALE ALIKE: If you read this manga make very sure you are able seeing a women abused with little to no justification for it at all. I for one can not and am giving it my last try I wish you luck future readers and for those that like happy reading and wish you many more chapters.
